She’s one of the most explosive characters in recent Housewives history, and after seeing Monica and her mom’s video from RHOSLC, fans suspect the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The volatile pair had a huge argument after filming season 4, episode 7; the one in which Angie Katsanevas threw a lavish Greek Easter brunch. It aired on October 17, 2024.
Monica Garcia is one of seven cast members on Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Bravo’s reality TV series following the personal and professional lives of wealthy women in and around Salt Lake City, Utah. The cast also includes Housewives Heather Gay, Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, and Whitney Rose; new Housewife Angie; and friend Mary Cosby.
Monica, who joined in the current season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, made headlines in the Season 4 finale after she was revealed to be behind the reality TV Instagram fan account Reality Von Tease, which was accused of trolling former cast member Jen Shah, as well as other cast members.
“Monica is not who she says she is,” Heather told Whitney, Lisa, and Meredith in the finale. “She’s not our friend. She’s someone that has schemed and worked to infiltrate our friend group. And the name that you all know her as, the woman whose birthday was celebrated, who we’ve been trying to champion and support and defend is Reality Von Tease.”
The drama created a divide between Monica and her five Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast members, whom she hadn’t spoken to until the Season 4 reunion filmed months later. The reunion also touched on a certain parental relationship, which adds new context to Monica and her mom’s video from RHOSLC.

She also revealed what happened when she was supposed to meet her family in Bermuda, but they canceled last minute. “My mom messaged production, before we all left for Bermuda, and said, ‘I want to go,’ and production said no. So she was very, very pissed. She felt like, ‘I’m the one that should be there.’ … She threw a huge fit and I thought, ‘Did she do this because she didn’t get to come?’ “
