SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: The 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' star Lisa Barlow has recently found herself in legal trouble after she failed to repay ​ a $410 loan. The reality star and her companies, Vida Tequila and Luxe Marketing, faced a lawsuit filed by Bart Carlson.

Bart, a longtime personal friend of Lisa Barlow, claimed that he had provided loans to the Bravo star dating back over a decade. According to TMZ, Bart alleged in his lawsuit that Lisa approached him in 2010, seeking financial assistance for her businesses, Vida Tequila and Luxe Marketing, which were facing financial difficulties at the time.

Bart agreed to lend the money to Lisa without specifying a repayment timeline due to their longstanding friendship. According to his claims, Bart alleged that he loaned Lisa, Vida Tequila, and Luxe Marketing a total of $410,842.36 between May 2010 and February 2018, but none of it has been repaid.

In his lawsuit, Bart also alleged that whenever he asked for repayment, Lisa purportedly responded by stating that neither she nor her companies had the means to settle the debt.
