Monica’s Reality Von Tease Scandal Is Way Better Than Scandoval
If you are anything like me, I am still trying to grapple with the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 finale. Heather Gay should receive an Emmy, Daytime Emmy, Oscar, MTV Music Award, and Nobel Peace Prize for her work in unraveling and delivering such a magnificent last episode. The primary focus of the finale was untangling all of Monica Garcia‘s lies when it came to the fan account, Reality Von Tease. The entire cast was left shaking on the Bermuda beach as if a tsunami had just hit them.
What Was the Reality Von Tease Scandal?
According to Heather, the Instagram account, Reality Von Tease, has tormented the Salt Lake City OGs for years. While the account was mainly aimed at throwing Jen Shah under the bus, the other women ended up being collateral damage. In her confessional, Heather divulged that the account was “created over three years ago with a mission to destroy the cast. It was dedicated to annihilating and exposing Jen Shah, but it quickly expanded to troll all of us: me, Whitney, Meredith, Lisa. These were character assassinations. We never knew who it was.”
Enter Monica—a rookie with nothing to lose and everything to gain. She was a recent divorcée after having an affair with her brother-in-law and had an unhinged relationship with her mother. It all came to a head after the RHOSLC Season 4 finale when Monica revealed she was one of the creators behind the account, but she claimed she only posted about Jen.
Who Is Reality Von Tease?
The account’s bio (peppered with emojis) reads, “Your local RHOSLC hot tea hoe. For entertainment purposes ONLY. ? ? ? Black Lives Matter. #RHOSLC.” The site, with help from Monica, very much felt like a digital burn book meant to do no good. During the season finale, Bravo shared clips of posts, including one that read, “Actually, #WhitneyRose is a swinger! She uses the bathroom as an opportunity to recruit. #rhoslc.”
Being a double agent, Monica threw the rest of the women who had tried championing her from the beginning. The mother of four claimed she had never been in Meredith Marks‘ store, never celebrated an adult birthday, or had any family support. The tangled web Monica weaved came so easily undone after her friend and Heather’s hairstylist, Tenesha Luckett, cracked under the pressure.
Scandoval; Hot or Not?
Honestly, Scandoval has been smelling like seven-day-old fish for a while now and totally clogged up the Bravo airways. In March 2023, news broke that Tom Sandoval had been having a months-long affair with Rachel Leviss. At the time, the gossip was hot as Rachel was fresh off her broken engagement to James Kennedy, an event Tom had helped pay for and plan. Sadly, if anyone paid attention to who Tom actually was, they would have seen this behavior coming from a mile away.
During Vanderpump Rules Season 1, Tom was fully committed to Kristen Doute. However, along the way, he started cheating on her and eventually admitted he made out with Ariana Madix once while in Las Vegas. This would become a pattern for Tom, who also had a Miami Girl. Now Rachel seemed along for the ride and probably thought she would marry the 40-year-old. But alas, this was less a Romeo and Juliet type affair and more an affair of convenience to stroke Tom’s ego. At the end of the day, he cheated—it wasn’t like he catfished anyone with a fake account.
Reality Von Tease Is Juicier Than Scandoval
The math just adds up; Reality Von Tease is hot, and Scandoval is not. The two don’t even compare. Monica’s lies blow Sandy right out of the water. To be honest, I am more annoyed with Tom for taking photos with a caged tiger than I am about him cheating on Ariana. Monica rocked the Bravosphere, giving followers one of the network’s best moments in cinematic history.
Tom immediately went into repair mode as he tried everything to salvage his career, including going on multiple TV shows and still touring with his band. Monica, however, has embraced the villain inside and has, in fact, doubled down on her bad behavior. She is posting snarky Gossip Girl-themed photos and not taking anyone’s guff. I almost appreciate her grace under pressure, even if it is in a Boston bad girl type of way. Sadly, Sandy had none of that and instead chose to weep at the feet of Lisa Vanderpump, giving us all the ick.
