After Angie reposted her Reality Witch Instagram story, Jen added more to the original story, speaking directly to Bravo and hinting that Angie should be fired. “Girl colors are showing,” she wrote in all caps. “How did you end up on @BRAVOTV?”
Bravo has yet to reveal whether it will fire Angie K. from the RHOSLC, but viewers are blaming fan favorite Lisa Barlow for bringing her in in the first place.
