Monica Garcia is the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and she's already making waves with her honesty, humor and style. The 40-year-old entrepreneur sat down with Us Weekly for an exclusive "Housewives Happy Hour" interview, where she revealed her biggest Housewife regret, her thoughts on some of the most iconic moments from the show and more.

One of the most memorable scenes from RHOSLC season 4 was when Monica broke down in tears before the cast trip to Palm Springs, confessing that she bought a Louis Vuitton bag to fit in with the other ladies.
"I just feel like I want to have something nice around them, and I don't want to show up with nothing," she said in the episode. "I hate that I feel like that. It's so stupid. That's not me. I'm not that person, I don't care."
Monica told Us that she regrets buying the expensive purse, which she said is real and not fake, as some viewers have speculated.
"Oh, my God. You already know. Freaking Louis Vuitton," she said. "That was a real hard purchase. I regret it right now. I didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal."
She also said that she felt pressured by Lisa Barlow, who was freaking out over losing a $60,000 ring in the same episode.
"Does anybody see a ring on the floor?" Lisa could be heard saying. "I'm freaking out."

## Monica Pleads the Fifth on Lisa's Ring and Heather's Black Eye
When asked what really happened to Lisa's ring, Monica took a sip of her wine and pleaded the fifth.
"Next girl," she said with a laugh.
She also played coy about another mystery from RHOSLC season 3: Heather Gay's black eye. Heather claimed that she "blacked out" after partying too hard and woke up with the bruise, but Meredith Marks hinted that the truth will "maybe" be revealed in season 4.
Monica, who wasn't on the show at that point, also refused to spill the beans on Heather's injury.

## Monica Wants to See Eboni K. Williams and Bershan Shaw on RHOSLC
Monica also shared her opinions on some of the other Real Housewives franchises, revealing that she would love to see Eboni K. Williams and Bershan Shaw from The Real Housewives of New York City join the Salt Lake City cast.
"I love Eboni. I think she's amazing. She's smart, she's beautiful, she's articulate, she's everything," Monica said. "And Bershan, she's a firecracker. She's fun, she's energetic, she's positive. I think they would be great additions to our group."
Monica also said that she's a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Real Housewives of Potomac, and that she admires Kenya Moore, Garcelle Beauvais and Gizelle Bryant.
