A public spat between Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stars Meredith Marks and Whitney Rose has escalated, with Marks threatening to sue Rose over allegations made during a recent comedy set.

Marks, who took to social media to express her frustration, claimed that Rose's statements regarding what really happened on their infamous plane ride from season 6 of RHOSLC were "slander." Marks' posts appeared in response to a fan asking about the incident, which left many fans wondering if Marks would follow through on her threat.

According to Marks' social media activity, Rose allegedly stated that Marks accosted Britani Bateman on the airplane, calling her a "fucking b*tch" and stating that she likes Lisa Barlow better than Marks. Marks maintained that it was a "full flight," suggesting that multiple witnesses could have corroborated Rose's claims.

Rose did not directly respond to Marks' accusations in the original post, instead focusing on the alleged incident itself. However, in a subsequent comment, Rose hinted at the possibility of further confrontation by saying, "If Mary [Cosby] rallied around Britani …"

The tension between the two women has been brewing since February, when Rose addressed the plane meltdown at Brea Improv in California. During the appearance, Rose mentioned that she was on the plane and accused Marks of lying about the events.

## Background and Chronology

The controversy surrounding the plane ride dates back to season 6 of RHOSLC, where Marks and several other cast members had a heated argument. The exact details of what transpired remain unclear, but the incident sparked significant attention among fans.

In a statement, Marks emphasized the importance of addressing the situation due to its potential impact on her reputation and livelihood. She noted that there are lawsuits involved and that people may be protecting those affected. This suggests that Marks is considering the broader implications of taking action against Rose.

Lisa Barlow, another cast member, expressed support for Marks via a comment on one of her posts, labeling Rose's statements as "slander."

Britani Bateman, who allegedly witnessed part of the incident, chimed in with a quote often attributed to Sherlock Holmes: "Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence." Her statement implies that even without concrete evidence, it doesn't necessarily prove anything.

## Next Steps and Consequences

Given the public nature of their feud and the potential consequences of defamation suits, any legal action taken by Marks will undoubtedly draw national attention. If she decides to proceed, the case could significantly alter the dynamics within the RHOSLC cast.

However, several factors complicate the situation. For instance, Rose's references to "lawsuits from people way bigger than me" suggest that she may be aware of some underlying power struggles or protective measures.

Marks' decision to consider legal action also raises questions about how this might affect her personal life and relationships with fellow cast members. Given the sensitive nature of these allegations, Velvet Receipt reached out to both Marks and Rose for comments. Unfortunately, neither responded before publication.
