This interview was conducted fairly and honestly, Melissa held monica to the fire respectfully and she answered everything upfrontly to the point that I left feeling well informed.
Traitors may not be the way to go,but there is another show that just aired season 1,called "House of Villians" and it has a cash prise at the end of each season. Maybe she should consider applying, I honestly think she would be perfect for it
Monica would make a great castmate on Traitors! I don't see her ever going back to Salt Lake Housewives because that group of women have seemed to come to the same page entirely on not filming with Monica ever in any way. With that being said maybe also throw Heather Gay on Traitors that season and have the camera ready when Monica drives up to the castle lol.
I like Monica. She didn’t steal from the elder like Jenn Shah did, yet the other housewives were okay with Jenn, especially Heather. I won’t watch anymore. Heather, Lisa and Whitney are HUGE hypocrites and BORING AF. 😂
apples & oranges. andy has like 8 people & numerous issues to deal with he cant focus on just one womans viewpoint. He has to keep it moving. He can never win cause real HW fans are such fanatics.
My opinion may be unpopular but I liked watching Monica on Salt City Housewives - and thought the other wives treated badly and were over the top mean but gave Jenn Shah a pass. Ridiculous. Not saving that Monica is a saint, or right for what she did but she didn’t rob and steal from old people.
I LOVED Monica on the last season of RHOSLC and I think it is a huge mistake to fire her when Heather lied through her teeth about her black eye and Lisa was a monster to Meredith. I’ve loved the show from the first episode but I will no longer watch. Mary always made me laugh and I loved Meredith but the rest of the cast are insufferable.
Monica doubled down during filming trying to act like she was there to make the cast pay for their wrong doing. And using what people who have known each other a lot longer against them bc you did it and how could they throw stones at you? They have known each other longer. They have built the relationship. You weren’t trying to build a relationship- you were trying to be the one who took them down. So why would they tryst you? You didn’t work for the respect or forgiveness. Then used your social media after and prior to push your agenda. Inauthentic. Disingenuous. That’s not trying to form a friendship that’s just trying to be a winner.
She definitely wanted to social climb and be on the show and her desperation was creepy. She will never be accepted in the housewives social world she is scum
If she’s sitting down with people like Melissa I have a strong feeling Monica is going to be back on our tv screens on some sort of reality tv show. Fingers crossed she returns to RHOSLC to finish out her storyline! Then they can give her a spin-off!
Monica gave me a new perspective of her, great job. I still think she can use some therapy but as Mellissa said she has self awareness and is resilient which is good.
This was a great interview, I may not like the person being interviewed however it does shine a different light on her that we didn't get to see on the show or on viral tiktoks. Melissa asked the right questions... But I will say the chandelier in the background is amazing, it's a beautiful crystal sailing ship chandelier. It's beautiful.
I absolutely love Monica. I think the ladies of RHOSLC had all they could take with Jen. Monica was collateral damage, prolly those ladies have skeletons of their own. When Monica said it was easy to turn Jen in, I screamed with joy. Please bring her back to anything
@@MelissaRiversOfficial And to clarify; I discovered YOUR genius via following your Momma (RIP absolute Goddess Legend), but didn't realize you had this pod 'til Jeff. SO fun. Cannot wait watch more beauty! xoxox
I'm sorry but Monica tries to justify her actions and choices way too often. I do not like Monica and don't trust her. She seemed pretty open and proud to share that she had an affair with her brother-in-law. She is not someone I would ever trust. I was a single mother for 17 years and struggled and at one time held 3 jobs. Of course, there were desperate times but I would never sacrifice my integrity like Monica did. Monica is not a genuine person.
Omg!! Monica !!! You 100% did the morally Right thing to do!! Melissa, why does it feel like you don’t agree. Ugh. Typical Hollywood nepotism; protecting the bs. Gross.
Im so sick of these real HW casts acting like their feelings come before the show. You are castmates. Its a job you are paid to do. You should work with whatever cast is chosen. If you dont then pack your bags. I think thats whats happening at Potomac. It should happen at SLC. Monica coming back would make next season intriguing to see how they resolved all the chaos of last season. Plus Monica is just great TV.
I don’t understand why she said her family is from Portugal but on the show she said her family built up Bermuda. Is that extended family she was talking about? Legit I was like I would rather she have her own show or get rid of the old cast or bring Monica in with a new cast.
Its disturbing how Bravo fired her but keep toxic women on the show who scammed people and r voilent etc. Heather and Lisa r the true villains on that show imo. Specially Heather. Yet Monica pays the price. Bravo is very toxic and Monica is way too good for them.
1:28 my mum liked new things; new jobs, new experiences. New personalities - to strengthen her shape shifting narcissistic abilities. I like Monica holds herself accountable. Unlike her vile mother.
This is just like that Bethenny Frankel podcast interview with Raquel. Monica is the new Sandoval/Raquel and is getting attention now. I know RHOSLC is a hit now (apparently 7 million viewers tuned into this season) but really?!
@@GameLover-pz5zc Yep, judging by the official count, they just added them up. There is no way they can check all streaming sites (paid or free) so the current trend is probably going off social media mentions + trending topics + official viewership which says little. Obviously they don't come anywear near 1 million viewers even per 3 episodes...
I miss Joan so much 😢I rewatch her over and over, and still have my Joan rivers lipglosses and nail polishes. If I can’t get my weekly dose of miss Joan anymore I’ll settle for Melissa any day. (I’m just kidding) I love Melissa … She did a great job with this interview 👏
Monica is so confusing… I get her taking down Jen shah and all that but then 0 acknowledgement at reunion for the bad parts of it that hurt the other ladies’ feelings, ofc the ladies wouldn’t be happy w her?? She’s pretty weird for not getting that
It doesnt really matter what monica did, they dont like her and she was always just there for shock value and since she was connected to Jen. I feel like she just reminded them of Jen and they wanted to all put that behind them. Angie at least fits in with the women more around that same age, but whenever there is a younger one they eat them alive on all the franchises, and they already have whitney who is younger. So i feel like the cast is perfect without monica.
Monica was great for the show, but in all honesty, her reactionary behavior is scary and with a tenuous handlings of bravo right now and production and lawsuits and all the things are happening behind the scenes at bravo she’s too much of a loose canon to have on that show as reactionary she was the show. She’ll say things that hit to the core honestly, if the producer she’s gold lawyers, she’s a potential liability in fact a potential liability that could possibly bring bravo down I liked Monica. She was there was honesty about her vulnerability about her, but the thing that unfortunately she could not control was her behavior and her volatile anger, and then the way that she would clap back and strike back, she hits to the bone and for a Network that already has a tenuous relationship with their classmates and a lot of lawsuits and a reality racketing that type of behavior like Jen Shaw‘s behavior is more of a liability than it is an asset and is great as I think she would be on the show and is stupid as I think that production and casting was to not cast her for the following season, it’s a smart move, unfortunately for her
I like her personality but you can't trust a snitch.... Someone that pulls their phone out and records people then makes a fake twitter page unfortunately shes for the streets not the TV.
Since when does the audience need to trust our reality stars? She may be for the streets but that's exactly why she's great TV! Salt lake would have been cancelled without her chaos, I say bring her back or give her a spinoff✨
This is how I like, and I appreciate interviews raw and genuine. Thank you, Melissa. Great job, you are a master.
Thank you ❤
Melissa has always been a great interviewer. Very impartial, but welcoming and cordial to the guests. Just like her mum.
That's very sweet. Thank you ❤
Agreed!!! Best interviewer
I love the interview. Monica is correct to expose all of it. Jenn Shah is right where she should be. She destroyed lives. Melissa great interview.
This interview was conducted fairly and honestly, Melissa held monica to the fire respectfully and she answered everything upfrontly to the point that I left feeling well informed.
im very happy for u since monica owed us and all
That chandelier is DREAMY
Wow! Very authentic interview.
Great interview Melissa!!!❤
What a great interview Melissa! Monica really shine
Traitors may not be the way to go,but there is another show that just aired season 1,called "House of Villians" and it has a cash prise at the end of each season. Maybe she should consider applying, I honestly think she would be perfect for it
Awful

With that being said maybe also throw Heather Gay on Traitors that season and have the camera ready when Monica drives up to the castle lol.
That would be good TV for sure!
Never..I would never watch again. Borderline
I'm enjoyed interview with Monica .
I like Monica. She didn’t steal from the elder like Jenn Shah did, yet the other housewives were okay with Jenn, especially Heather. I won’t watch anymore. Heather, Lisa and Whitney are HUGE hypocrites and BORING AF. 😂
Monica is the real person here! ❤️ The other ladies are just jealous and a bunch of Karens 😂
This is how Andy should conduct the reunions. Monica should stay to make RHOSL interesting.
I agree and thought I was alone with this opinion.
apples & oranges. andy has like 8 people & numerous issues to deal with he cant focus on just one womans viewpoint. He has to keep it moving. He can never win cause real HW fans are such fanatics.
Just found this site, great interview! Thanks.
Great interview!! Love Monica and love Melissa!!
It was obvious she was beaten down towards the end of the reunion. Huge mistake not having her back on the show.
Yeah Monica definitely carried this whole season. She’s not going to be forgotten
She’s already forgotten. Bronwyn has taken her place and we like her more so keep crying. Monica is poor and basic sorry
My opinion may be unpopular but I liked watching Monica on Salt City Housewives - and thought the other wives treated badly and were over the top mean but gave Jenn Shah a pass. Ridiculous. Not saving that Monica is a saint, or right for what she did but she didn’t rob and steal from old people.
I agree. Jenn is trash she would conduct herself badly and everyone put up with it. Good comment.
WOW first time viewer, you are GREAT at interviewing. Congrats!
Bring back Monica, she made the show!
Agreed.
We love you Monica. First season & you owned that baby❤
🤮
I LOVED Monica on the last season of RHOSLC and I think it is a huge mistake to fire her when Heather lied through her teeth about her black eye and Lisa was a monster to Meredith. I’ve loved the show from the first episode but I will no longer watch. Mary always made me laugh and I loved Meredith but the rest of the cast are insufferable.
Always love Melissa ❤glad i just found her podcast 😂
Monica doubled down during filming trying to act like she was there to make the cast pay for their wrong doing. And using what people who have known each other a lot longer against them bc you did it and how could they throw stones at you?
They have known each other longer.
They have built the relationship. You weren’t trying to build a relationship- you were trying to be the one who took them down.
So why would they tryst you? You didn’t work for the respect or forgiveness.
Then used your social media after and prior to push your agenda.
Inauthentic. Disingenuous.

💯
This girl is a grifter for certain!😳
Great interview.Love Monica.
team monica forever!!!!!
You can hear her creating the lies as she speaks lol
Ok Heather… 😂
Exactly!
It’s like a disease
Monica gave me a new perspective of her, great job. I still think she can use some therapy but as Mellissa said she has self awareness and is resilient which is good.
Beware of liars who have "100%" on repeat.
This was a great interview, I may not like the person being interviewed however it does shine a different light on her that we didn't get to see on the show or on viral tiktoks. Melissa asked the right questions... But I will say the chandelier in the background is amazing, it's a beautiful crystal sailing ship chandelier. It's beautiful.
That chandelier! Wow just love it!
Lol wheres this
I saw this chandelier last weekend in Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪! Small world!
Great job Melissa. Expert interview. Monica comes across so intense. Hard to sympathize with her.
I absolutely love Monica. I think the ladies of RHOSLC had all they could take with Jen. Monica was collateral damage, prolly those ladies have skeletons of their own. When Monica said it was easy to turn Jen in, I screamed with joy. Please bring her back to anything
Found this VIA Jeff Lewis pod!
Love Jeff! Welcome 😊
@@MelissaRiversOfficial And to clarify; I discovered YOUR genius via following your Momma (RIP absolute Goddess Legend), but didn't realize you had this pod 'til Jeff. SO fun. Cannot wait watch more beauty! xoxox
Love Monica, Melissa conducted a great interview
Melissa, you should get a talk show on Bravo!! ❤
off topic...I'd love to hear about the chandelier hanging behind you...what's the story? it's beautiful!
I'm sorry but Monica tries to justify her actions and choices way too often. I do not like Monica and don't trust her. She seemed pretty open and proud to share that she had an affair with her brother-in-law. She is not someone I would ever trust. I was a single mother for 17 years and struggled and at one time held 3 jobs. Of course, there were desperate times but I would never sacrifice my integrity like Monica did. Monica is not a genuine person.
She has no integrity
Learned about you from David glad I did 🥂
I adore David! Welcome 😃
Luv when you & David are together 💜🥂✨
good questions
SLC is going back to BORING We love Monica
Yessss, we love you Monica!
Omg!! Monica !!! You 100% did the morally Right thing to do!! Melissa, why does it feel like you don’t agree. Ugh. Typical Hollywood nepotism; protecting the bs. Gross.
I like Monica. She is a loose cannon sometimes with her reactions, but she brought it to the show and I will miss her.
Awful

She’s too poor and creepy to be on the show. We like our housewives rich thanks
If you break off the engagement then you should give back the ring. If the guy/gal (ring giver) breaks it off then you can keep it.
I don’t understand why she said her family is from Portugal but on the show she said her family built up Bermuda. Is that extended family she was talking about?
Legit I was like I would rather she have her own show or get rid of the old cast or bring Monica in with a new cast.
Justice for Monica! She NEEDS to be back on RHOSLC ❤
🥱
Great interview! Give this girl a spinoff 🔥
Totally agree I think it would be fun 😀
Its disturbing how Bravo fired her but keep toxic women on the show who scammed people and r voilent etc.
Heather and Lisa r the true villains on that show imo. Specially Heather. Yet Monica pays the price. Bravo is very toxic and Monica is way too good for them.
Monica is a very disturbed person. Extremely disturbed.
Good job Melissa, but Monica is low class
I love everything you do ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️thx
Love your chandelier
It that a ship? Chandalier
Monica cusses too much
Mary is crazy
1:28 my mum liked new things; new jobs, new experiences. New personalities - to strengthen her shape shifting narcissistic abilities. I like Monica holds herself accountable. Unlike her vile mother.
Good interview. I hope to run into her one day; I would tell her how wonderful she is. She was good TV.
Hi Melissa… I saw some pictures of the inside of your beautiful mama’s home… I think about it obsessively… so beautiful… rip
I would never trust this person. She needs to go and take care of the family.
Interesting interview but Monica is just toxic.
It's her voice, Melissa! That's enough for me to tune out.
This is just like that Bethenny Frankel podcast interview with Raquel. Monica is the new Sandoval/Raquel and is getting attention now. I know RHOSLC is a hit now (apparently 7 million viewers tuned into this season) but really?!
Where did you get 7 million viewers? Did you add the official viewercount of every episode up?
I am curious.
@dontlaughtoomuch11 It was an article online. I forgot where but it's from a TV website. They probably did add up the viewer counts though.
@@GameLover-pz5zc Yep, judging by the official count, they just added them up. There is no way they can check all streaming sites (paid or free) so the current trend is probably going off social media mentions + trending topics + official viewership which says little. Obviously they don't come anywear near 1 million viewers even per 3 episodes...
I miss Joan so much 😢I rewatch her over and over, and still have my Joan rivers lipglosses and nail polishes. If I can’t get my weekly dose of miss Joan anymore I’ll settle for Melissa any day. (I’m just kidding) I love Melissa … She did a great job with this interview 👏
Love Monica great interview❗
shes lying saying jenn never filmed around her. she was in tge footage in merideths store. hard to believe monica 🤥
Monica is so confusing… I get her taking down Jen shah and all that but then 0 acknowledgement at reunion for the bad parts of it that hurt the other ladies’ feelings, ofc the ladies wouldn’t be happy w her?? She’s pretty weird for not getting that
Monica you got exactly what you deserve from your best friend. Who could ever trust you moving forward ?
Love Melissa & hate Monica!!!
Why do woman want to look like clones? Respect to those who stay unique😮😇
actually - we would not all do the same things. thats where youre wrong and why your decisions are weird.
No she hasn't been everywhere, she's been to a couple of places, Boston and Portugal then UT
Jail would be a good place
Did u live her life?
It doesnt really matter what monica did, they dont like her and she was always just there for shock value and since she was connected to Jen. I feel like she just reminded them of Jen and they wanted to all put that behind them. Angie at least fits in with the women more around that same age, but whenever there is a younger one they eat them alive on all the franchises, and they already have whitney who is younger. So i feel like the cast is perfect without monica.
she is so fake, can’t even take her serious in any capacity
Monica was great for the show, but in all honesty, her reactionary behavior is scary and with a tenuous handlings of bravo right now and production and lawsuits and all the things are happening behind the scenes at bravo she’s too much of a loose canon to have on that show as reactionary she was the show.

Melissas line of questioning makes her sound so dumb. Wow
She is as bad as her mother
Monica doesn’t get the show at all, someone always gets crucified on these shows. Why is she shocked?
The problem is you have to lead a more interesting life than the people you interview.
Stop lying to your children, people.
Give them the truth!!
I want to know why her 5 year old always had a pacifier in her mouth.
Love monica i guess you do the right thing you get fired but, you lie, you cheat & you steal and the cast looooove you like HEATHER GAY!!!!!
Queen Monica ❤❤❤❤
Why?
Melisa Is becoming gaga she is autoreferring too damn much
i understand why her mom hates her
Poor Monica, she is so wronged. Mary is incredible? this interview is obnoxious.
Come on Mellissa you better than that...Mônica 🤦♀️😖🤢🤢
You’re not.
queen monica
this is a good interview you’re probably bitter
Why r u so negative?
I like her personality but you can't trust a snitch.... Someone that pulls their phone out and records people then makes a fake twitter page unfortunately shes for the streets not the TV.
Really? I definitely think what she did to Jen was justifiable. Jen was horrible
Since when does the audience need to trust our reality stars? She may be for the streets but that's exactly why she's great TV! Salt lake would have been cancelled without her chaos, I say bring her back or give her a spinoff✨
But you like her personality?
She isn’t apart of the street life. As a normal civilian, you are allowed to be a snitch.
Great interview, Melissa ❤❤❤
