There won’t be a second season on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City for season ​4 standout Monica Garcia. She’s reportedly exiting the Bravo series after a drama-filled reunion that saw her clash with fellow cast members.

Was Monica Garcia Fired from ‘RHOSLC?

It’s unclear if Monica was fired or chose to leave, as People reported on January 23, ​2024, that she won’t be back when cameras roll for season 5 of RHOSLC. Her fights with Heather Gay were epic, and actress and Housewives super fan Jennifer Lawrence even called the season 4 show finale the “best reality TV finale I think ever?”

Bravo did not immediately respond to Life & Style‘s request for comment.

What Happened in the Season 4 Finale of ‘RHOSLC’?

Heather helped expose that Monica was behind the Instagram account “Reality Von Tease,” which began three years ago. Heather claimed it was “dedicated to annihilating and exposing” former cast member Jen Shah, before moving on to attack herself and fellow costars Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks and Whitney Rose.

“These were character assassinations. But we never knew who it was,” Heather explained, after figuring out it was Monica following deep discussions with her longtime hairdresser Tenesha, who was also a friend of Monica. Tenesha “had a crisis of conscience” and sent Heather a treasure trove of receipts showing Monica’s involvement, including screenshots, text messages, DMs, video and audio recordings.

Heather then delivered the epic line over dinner, “I have receipts, I have photo shots, I have it all – proof!”

The drama went down during a cast trip to Bermuda, where Monica finally fessed up to posting material about Jen to the account and was told to leave the island by Heather.

RHOSLC showrunner Lori Gordon told The Hollywood Reporter what happened next. “I just sat with Monica for an hour, in silence. Not even kidding, didn’t even talk,” Lori told the publication. “She just cried. I think it was a real wake-up call for her. She kept saying, ‘I’m so embarrassed.’ She flew out with me on a separate flight and some other of the crew the next morning.”

“The girls had no idea [about Monica]. I had no idea … nobody had any idea,” Lori said, adding Bravo was also unaware. “Heather had gotten that call that last day. She was really flustered and upset. And as she started to process that out loud with me privately, it became, well, then that’s how we’re going to tell this story and the viewers should really go along for the same ride as she did.”

Who Is Former ‘RHOSLC’ Monica Garcia?

Monica was the show’s first Latina cast member and a mother of four children. She is an entrepreneur who started the baby swaddle company, Brea Baby, in 2018. Monica was credited with helping revive the franchise as the new villain in season 4, but proved to her costars she couldn’t be trusted after being exposed for running an Instagram account which trolled them.
