SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: Expressing disbelief over the potential absence of 'RHOSLC' star Monica Garcia on TV after the season concludes, a fan on Instagram wrote, "#RHOSLC = THE MONICA SHOW!!!!! Can't believe we almost won't have you on our screens anymore for a while."

The controversy stemmed from a fake troll account exposing Jen Shah, a former cast member and a friend of Garcia. This led to speculations about Monica's involvement.

Compounding the situation, clips from past episodes of RHOSLC resurfaced, depicting Monica expressing a willingness to have a fake account herself.

This fueled suspicions, with many speculating that she might be the one behind the troll account that exposed Jen Shah.

In the recent episode, accusations flew as castmates pointed fingers at Meredith Marks, suggesting she created a fake Instagram account to circulate damaging information about Angie Katsanevas.

However, Meredith countered the allegations, asserting that Monica was actually the one spreading the gossip.

Coincidentally, reports emerged on the same day implicating Monica in another 'troll' account, this time revealing information about Jen Shah, her former friend.
