Who is Sara McArthur Pierce?

As mentioned, Sara was a guest star on ‘RHOSLC’ around 2020-2021. According to her LinkedIn, the reality star owns her design studio, “Sara McArthur Design,” which she founded in 2015. Before starting her own business, Sara worked as a senior interior designer, home fitting manager, and interior design consultant at various businesses such as Richmond American Homes and Fieldstone Homes. She was also the interior design consultant at another of her ventures, McArthur Homes, from 2011 to 2014.

She has even studied psychology at Dixie State University, where she was the secretary for Delta Epsilon Chi (DECA) Dixie State Chapter.

Sara McArthur Pierce on ‘RHOSLC’

Sara was first introduced to viewers during Jen Shah’s party, which the housewife allegedly threw for Meredith Marks early in the show’s freshman season. During her time on 'RHOSLC', it was rumored that Sara was set to be promoted to a leading role on the Bravo series. But according to reports, the idea was dropped after production members found her linked to the anarchical group “QAnon.” Mary Cosby was then introduced as a full-time cast member instead.

Capitol Riots controversy

Sara was then called out for being a part of capitol riots when over 2000 rioters broke into the US Capitol Building in Washington DC after Donald Trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential elections. Sara confirmed that she “peacefully” protested at the riots when she posted her reaction to fans slamming the reality star on Instagram. Sara claimed that “This is what happens when a conservative uses their First Amendment rights to attend a rally and protest for basic constitutional rights…the left is calling for Trump supporters to be executed and worse. If you ever wondered which side is facist, bigoted and tyrannical NOW YOU KNOW.” She continued, "For the record I NEVERED (never) entered the capitol. The media is absolutely lying to you about what ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE!”

But fans of ‘RHOSLC’ had seen enough and demanded that the star “be fired” from the show. There was even a petition made to remove Sara from the Bravo series.

Following Jen's Tweets, a few fans also defended Whitney over the kiss. One person wrote, "That's a kiss. That's not making out. One normally doesn't ask a person's political affiliation before they kiss." While another claimed, "You calling out @whitneywildrose for anything is rich! You literally stole money from vulnerable people to live an extravagant fake life! You are the one that’s going to prison for actual real crimes! Maybe stop deflecting and spend time with your family."
