When Monica Garcia was fired from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, many thought her next stop should be The Traitors, but recent claims suggested she failed the psych test for Season 3 of the show.
On RHOSLC Season 4, fans had never seen the fourth wall so shattered before. Monica was one of a handful of people running an account dedicated to taking down now-convicted felon, Jen Shah. It was absolutely wild. Now, Monica’s making headlines for different reasons.
An Instagram post from The Neighborhood Talk alleged that Monica was “booted from [The Traitors] because she failed a psych exam.” The report caught the attention of Housewives fans and even Monica herself. So, what did the former RHOSLC star have to say in response?
Monica threatens legal action over Traitors psych test claims
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Monica candidly said, “Honestly, the fact that people believe that blows my mind.” She further expressed, “Like, we really will just believe anything. It’s actually crazy. I wish I did do Traitors, but maybe next season.” Frankly, Monica had a point. Internet users can be quick to trust, especially in the world of reality TV.
Nevertheless, The Neighborhood Talk defended their report when Monica commented on their post. The outlet claimed the news was from “a very close source,” in response to Monica’s comment saying, “This is actually terrible that you would post this. Complete lie. Disgusting!!”
In another comment, she responded, “Let’s get on the call with the executives together. Let’s find out how good your source is. I am the source. I didn’t even do one interview. Pathetic and absolutely disgusting.” She also said she would take “legal action” against the “insanely damaging and FALSE” claim. It wouldn’t be the first time she hit back at harsh claims.
Monica also responded to the claim on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “I didn’t even go through the process of Traitors to where I would even be asked to take a psych evaluation.” She reemphasized that she “was never even asked to take a psych evaluation.”
