The last episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which aired on Wednesday night, November 2, ushered in the heartbreaking news that Whitney Rose’s husband Justin lost his job. Justin Rose, who worked as a chief marketing and sales officer fro a personal care products company broke the news to his wife amid sobs. However, rather than console him, the reality star made the whole situation about herself. Her actions in turn earned her the wrath of RHOSLC fans, who have since taken to Twitter to slam Whitney Rose.
RHOSLC Recap Of Whitney’s Slip-Up
During the Season 3 episode, Whitney addressed the news of Justin getting fired from his job. She believed his company decided to fire him solely because of their intimate scene, filmed for the second season of the reality show. The infamous “Love is art” scene, aired in the last season, showed the couple covered in paint as Justin playfully spank his wife. Defending their spicy moment, Whitney pointed out it was normal for a couple to share intimate moments, contrary to the company’s beliefs. She added:
“That Could be cringey but I’m freakin’ proud of that. I feel like this is taking me back to when I was 18, like, ‘If you’re not a man, you can’t have it.’ I feel like you were literally asked to suppress your wife or leave your job.”
In response, Justin told his wife the the conversation with his boss just before his ousting centered around how the company could not make things work with him around. Although they appreciated the work he put into his job so far, they found his wife’s fame disturbing. Again, Whitney Rose circled the conversation back to herself and her RHOSLC fame, saying:
“So the fact that your wife has a career and is successful, you can no longer work here? This has everything to do with them shaming me for what kind of woman I am.”
As the episode progressed, the TV personality expressed worry over their financial state moving forward, especially after recently dipping into their savings to launch Wild Rose Beauty. She voiced several of her fears, including how they would cover their bills, kids’ expenses, the house, cars and their lifestyle considering Justin was the major earner in the family.
RHOSLC Fans Slam Whitney Rose
Fans of RHOSLC could not help but notice that throughout Whitney Rose’s ranting session, she never once stopped to console her crying husband nor show concern for his feelings. Rather, she successfully turned his misfortune around, making it about herself. This earned her backlash on social media. One fan pointed out what the star’s “poor behavior” said about her, while another referred to her as “lowkey insufferable, saying,
“Idk man the way Whitney responded to her husband getting fired… she is lowkey insufferable tbh.”

Another fan described the RHOSLC star as self-absorbed for failing to understand the impact of her husband’s reputation on the company’s public image.
Whitney is so self absorbed that she can't grasp that her husband was a representative of a company and had to conduct himself publicly in a way that did not give bad optics to the company he represented. Buyers could be turned off. #RHOSLC
