RHOSLC’s Bronwyn Newport Found A Fan In Rihanna, Who Said They Were ‘Besties’ And ‘Soulmates’

Bronwyn Newport may not be a favorite of some of her Real Housewives of Salt Lake City co-stars, but she’s earned the respect and support of Rihanna.

… and we love this journey for Bronwyn!

Women supporting women:

“Rihanna DMed me,” announced the season 5 breakout star of RHOSLC. “I got the message that I had a message from Bad Gal Riri. I was like, ‘It’s obviously a fake … It can’t possibly be real.’ I open my DMs, and I see it’s real and verified. It’s her.”

“I didn’t open the message for 48 hours.” Even Todd Bradley encouraged her to open the DM. She reasoned, “If I open it, it’s going to say ‘read.’ Then, I have to come up with something to respond. I am not prepared for this.” She admitted, “I had to gear up for it. Then, I wrote her back and she wrote me back instantaneously.”

“I’m very grateful she’s DMed me. She’s very sweet to me. She has opinions on Salt Lake City, she has opinions on me.”

Bronwyn’s new bestie:

Salt Lake City’s fashion-forward Real Housewife boasted Rihanna “used the terms ‘bestie’ and ‘soulmate.'” Bronwyn joked, “So I care zero about the other women in Salt Lake City, I have Rihanna now.”

Amid all the spats Bronwyn has found herself in, she admitted she “could use Rihanna” on her team. If I’d known Rihanna was going to love me while we were filming, I would have been like, ‘I don’t care. Say what you want to say. Rihanna loves me. She follows me.'”

“If I knew what I was going to know later … If I come back next year, I will be untouchable in an argument. Every single time, I’m going to be like, ‘Well. Rihanna likes it.'”

Rihanna is no stranger to the RHOSLC fandom:

Interview’s Mel Ottenberg asked Rihanna the question on many Bravo fans’ minds, “What are you watching on TV?” Rihanna replied, “I don’t get to watch a lot of TV anymore, but Housewives is always my priority.”

Mel asked, “Should Monica come back?” Rihanna reasoned, “If Tom Sandoval can come back, Monica should definitely be able to come back.”
