Meredith Marks recently shared her thoughts on her portrayal in season six of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City during an appearance on West Wilson‘s podcast, co-hosted with Sophie Cunningham.

During the discussion, she addressed rumors about her encounter with Britani Bateman, 54, on a flight, clarified whether she’s been in contact with Jen Shah, 52, following Jen’s release from prison, and expressed her views on Jen’s possible return to the series. Meredith, 54, also revealed how she ventured into DJing, among other topics.

“This season, the portrayal of me hasn’t been particularly flattering, but that’s the reality TV game,” Meredith remarked on the December 22 episode of Show Me Something. “Viewers get glimpses of our lives, and you won’t see the full story or picture because, honestly, that’s what keeps it entertaining.”

Amid fans’ curiosity about her interaction with Britani on the plane, Meredith noted that if any footage existed and were released, it would make the incident “much less interesting.”

“If I was screaming, dumping wine, and pulling hair, there would’ve been video footage. I’m not saying nothing happened. Something did. But what they’re saying happened is not what happened,” she clarified.

As for Jen, Meredith confirmed she had not spoken to her since she got out.

“She did call me once from prison about a year and a half ago or so, but no, I have not heard from her,” she shared.

While Andy Cohen, 57, has been firm in saying that Jen would never be seen again on RHOSLC, Meredith admitted to thinking he could change his mind. 

“He would probably be much more receptive if she had paid her restitution and he knew that there was a change, that she had been reformed and changed and grew, there was something like a positive ending to the story, I think my guess is he would be much more open to it, but, you know, I’m not in his brain. That’s my opinion,” she reasoned.

Regarding her own thoughts on Jen rejoining the series, Meredith said she wasn’t sure what that would be like.

“That’s something I can’t really answer because I don’t know what the vibe would be like now if she were here,” Meredith explained. “Things have changed so much, even within just, you know, those of us who’ve been there since the beginning, who were there with her. Our dynamics have shifted. Everyone has grown a lot, and I’m sure she has, too. It’s been six years, and so, I don’t know what the dynamic would be.”

That said, she admitted to being curious about what went down between Jen and her fellow prisonmates, Ghislaine Maxwell, 64, and Elizabeth Holmes, 41.

“That’s like a story to hear for sure. I’m very curious to hear about that,” she stated.

Also on the podcast, Meredith gushed over her new gig as a DJ.

“Honestly, it has been the most fun thing I have ever done in my life. It’s like having a party every night but not really having to do all the heavy lifting. It’s just not something I ever thought would happen in my life. Like, if you had told me five years ago, ‘You’re gonna DJ in Times Square,’ I’d be like, ‘You’re crazy,’ and people are having fun, you know, that’s the whole thing. It’s so good engaging with people just literally having a good time,” she shared.

As for how she got her start, Meredith said she was first asked to DJ for Pride.

“At first it was Pittsburgh and then West Hollywood, and they were like back to back .. I was very nervous in Pittsburgh, like, anyone who was at the show must’ve been like ‘Oh my gosh, she’s terrified.’ But it was really cute; they rolled me out in a bathtub. That’s how it all started — with Pride,” she revealed, adding that her favorite gig was “probably Times Square” since it’s “such an iconic place.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
