Whitney Rose blamed one of her Real Housewives of Salt Lake City castmates for the ongoing rumors regarding the supposed end of her marriage to husband Justin Rose while appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday.

As she also addressed Britani Bateman‘s filming of the cast and reveal about her relationship with her boyfriend, Jared Osmond, 54, reacted to Bronwyn Newport, 39, sharing their group conversation with Lisa Barlow, 50, and revealed who was missing from their post-reunion dinner, Whitney, 38, looked back on the season five finale taping, shared how it ranked against last year’s season conclusion, and revealed where the divorce rumors were coming from.

“Those land every time I get in fights with a certain castmate,” Whitney noted on the January 8 episode of WWHL. “Those rumors have been circulating for five years now. Justin, obviously, is not going anywhere.”

Looking back at Wednesday’s episode of RHOSLC, Whitney said she did not believe that Britani, 53, had planted a bug in Meredith Marks‘ room.

“I think that’s beyond Britani’s level,” she noted.

Still, she didn’t feel that Britani’s recording of the cast was an innocent mistake.

“You don’t just film the back of a seat for no reason,” she explained.

After the cast went after Britani for secretly recording them in their rented Sprinter van, Whitney admittedly felt bad — at least a bit.

“Once I saw her hyperventilating outside of the van, I did feel bad because I know what it’s like to be attacked. But I was innocent. She was proven guilty,” Whitney shared. “Coming off the heels of finding out we had a troll in our friend group, someone who is taking our personal lives and exploiting it, to have someone else now come in filming in front of us knowing that we already had someone betray us, it’s like if you’re on the playground, you know someone’s gonna take your toys.”

In addition to getting caught filming, Britani was seen coming clean about the physical nature of her romance with Jared, who she previously denied having slept with. However, according to Whitney, the news came as a shock to no one.

As for why Bronwyn revealed the conversation the group had behind Lisa’s back to Lisa, despite being involved, Whitney slammed her co-star. 

“That’s some two-faced behavior right there,” she declared. “I think that she knew Lisa was going to eventually find out, so I think that she ran to Lisa and made it look like we were all talking bad about her when, in fact, we were supporting Bronwyn.”

Regarding Heather’s statement in which she suggested that the conversation featured a claim about Meredith knowing about hiding “tumultuous relationship and emotional affairs,” Whitney did not believe Heather had ill intent.

“I don’t think so. I think we were just explaining the situation. There was no insinuation of anything,” she clarified.

Also on the live broadcast, Whitney was asked a series of rapid-fire questions about the reunion. She shared that she and Heather were “best dressed” while Lisa’s look was the worst, said it was Bronwyn who had the “most to own up to,” and shared that Lisa brought the “most receipts.”

As for who she dined with after the taping, Whitney revealed that “everyone but Bronwyn” and Mary were included.

Later, while appearing on the WWHL: After Show, Whitney was asked how the finale of season five compares to that of season four, which featured the shocking reveal of Monica Garcia‘s ties to Reality Von Tease, an Instagram fan page that featured regular stories about the RHOSLC cast.

“That’s hard because Bermuda is iconic, but this finale was just as good if not better. It rivals Bermuda,” she confirmed as Andy Cohen, 56, admitted it was a “pretty shocking” ending to the season.

“Yeah. I can’t even put words … It’s something,” Whitney added.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season five airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
