Angie Katsanevas revealed the “most hurtful part” of being on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and addressed the “risks.” She also threw shade at her ex-castmate Monica Garcia, who exited the show after season 4.
Angie co-owns the Lunatic Fringe hair salon franchise with her husband, Shawn Trujillo. In past seasons, her castmates discussed rumors that Shawn allegedly had relationships with men on the side. Both Angie and Shawn have denied it.
On SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Angie and Jeff Lewis addressed the cast’s treatment of Shawn.
“I don’t like what they did to Shawn at all,” said Jeff.
“Yeah. You know, that, to me, that was the most hurtful part of me coming on the show, to think that Shawn shouldn’t be brought into anything and we’ve been married for 30 years,” said Angie. “We’ve been in business for 27 years now and, you know, there’s some great exposure for your business out there, but did we need it? No, we were already at max capacity. We had multiple locations and … years under our belt.”
“So yeah. There are those risks, but you really just have to stand strong in who you are, your values, the brand you’ve built, and our business, we stay focused on,” she added. “It’s continuing to grow. It’s continuing to be successful, but I always say you want to attract women that are aspirational, but there are risks to bringing women like that on the show because there are other women that come on the show that have nothing to lose and are willing to say anything, so it’s a fine line. You know, a lot of women would never do this show because…”
Jeff then asked if she was referring to Monica.
“Absolutely. Yeah,” Angie answered. “She came on the show. She was supposed to be my friend, and then a week in, she was saying horrible things about me on national television, and that’s why I pulled away. You know, it’s like, ‘Yeah, you can get those women that’ll come on and say anything, but it’s going to detour successful women like myself and others that will not want to be a part of this.’”
