The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City friend of, Britani Bateman, has been involved in two lawsuits, one being a multi-million dollar suit. After the Season 6 premiere of the hit Bravo reality series, fans are curious as to what has happened. Did she win, or is the RHOSLC star’s fate still up in the air? Keep reading for more details.
Britani Bateman Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Update
RHOSLC has just returned to Bravo for Season 6, and fans are ready and raring to go. There is always so much drama with these ladies, and some feel that it is the best franchise. Britani Bateman came on the scene as a friend of Heather Gay, and the two women were longtime friends. She was invited on trips and to be a part of the madness, but not everyone cared for her. She had no filter, a twisted romance with Jared Osmond, and was caught recording the ladies as they fought.
The controversial friend was also involved in two lawsuits. One was for $100K and brought about by her former mother-in-law, Sandra Underwood. Sandra alleges that Britani encouraged her to deposit the funds into a family trust and now wants it back. Additionally, Britani brought a suit against her ex-husband, John Scott Underwood, for $2.5 million. She filed this in 2023, and in early 2025, the MIL suit was filed against her. Her ex-husband disputes any allegations, including abuse or physical harm. However, Britani’s former MIL has stated that the money she deposited was spent for selfish reasons.
Sandra Underwood’s legal team noted that she has low funds, and Britani Bateman refuses to pay her back. Although many want to know where the two suits stand, the RHOSLC friend is still awaiting a verdict. The cases are pending and will likely continue on for some time. Fortunately, Britani is making decent money from her appearances, which could help her along the way. Fans have heard the accusations against Britani and are siding with her.
She Speaks The Truth
When it came out that Britani Bateman’s ex-MIL filed a suit against her, RHOSLC fans dismissed it. They knew that Britani accused her ex-husband of abuse, so they felt the MIL was just as bad:
- I would take everything his mother has to say with a huge grain of salt.
They added that they did not see this as Britani’s fault, but also found the whole story messy. This added to why viewers wanted her back for another season. They appreciate her life falling apart and how it adds to the drama. No one particularly likes her as a person, but they are having fun with her shenanigans. Hopefully, her lawsuit drama will play out on screen.
