The latest drama to unfold on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has been but a closer look reveals that the true controversy isn't about Ashley Quai's past actions as much as it is about Whitney Rose's betrayal.

According to sources, the feud began when Whitney shared a secret about Ashley's behavior during a heated argument with her fiancé. In an interview, Whitney revealed that Ashley had taken her fiancé's toothbrush, cleaned it in the toilet, and then returned it - potentially spreading E. coli bacteria. While the story seems shocking, it appears that Ashley is not too concerned about being judged.

In fact, Ashley proudly confessed to doing something similar in the past and stated that she "would do it again." This admission suggests that Ashley may have been more affected by Whitney's decision to share her personal business than by the actual act itself.

However, things took a turn when Whitney continued to discuss the incident with other cast members, including Heather Gay and Bronwyn Newport. Angie Katsanevas eventually picked up the story from Whitney and shared it with Mary Cosby, leading to a chaotic confrontation between Ashley and the rest of the group.

During RHOSLC Season 7 Episode 3, Angie revealed the secret in a talking head session: "Whitney told me this secret: that Quai took her fiancés toothbrush when she was mad at him, and cleaned the toilet with it, and then put it back. You could, like, get what's that thing called? E. coli."

Ashley, however, seemed unfazed by Angie's revelation, even going so far as to tell Whitney how "f*cking disappointed" her brother would be by Whitney's behavior. It appears that Ashley's main concern is Whitney's decision to share a private conversation rather than the incident itself.

As the situation unfolded, Lisa Barlow and Meredith Marks attempted to comfort Ashley, who felt betrayed by Whitney's actions. However, it seems that Whitney's involvement in the drama may have gone beyond just sharing a secret - she also apologized for telling Heather Gay that Ashley called her "diabolical," which was actually just a misinterpretation of the term "diablo" (a Taco Bell sauce).

Ultimately, the drama surrounding the toothbrush scandal highlights the complexities of relationships within the RHOSLC cast. While Ashley's past actions may raise eyebrows, the real issue lies in how Whitney chose to handle the situation and whether or not her actions damaged her friendship with Ashley.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and streams on Peacock the next day.
