Britani Bateman’s Daughter Olivia Reacts to Emotional RHOSLC Episode After Calling Her Out for Prioritizing Men as Britani Responds and Heather Gay Weighs In
Britani Bateman‘s daughter, Olivia, took to her Instagram page on Tuesday to react to the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which featured the two of them having a heart-to-heart.
After calling out Britani, 54, for putting men before her and her sister, Taylor, and opening up about the abandonment she felt after Britani remarried, Olivia shared a message with her online audience as
“Feeling so many things watching this back. For those who have felt the same, I see you and love you,” Olivia wrote with her October 21 post.
During Tuesday night’s episode of RHOSLC, Olivia was seen sitting down with Britani and asking her if she remembered the last time they had plans to chat.
“I had, like, [a] 30-minute break between jobs. So I came over to your house, planned to meet up, then [your on-again-off-again boyfriend,
“I know,” Britani replied. “I don’t even know, I don’t even know why that happened. I really don’t. I’ve been in the habit of choosing men for so long because I have kids that I don’t even get to see.”
“Yeah, but you can’t put that on us,” Olivia interjected. “You can’t talk about how sad you are because you have kids that don’t talk to you.”
“I’m not. I’m trying to get to know you. Like, I’m trying,” Britani insisted.
Then, in a cast confessional, Olivia opened up more about her younger years with Britani and when things changed.
“My mom was everything you’d want in a mom, so present in our lives. Every field trip, every dance recital, every school talent show, she was there. And she was so much fun,” Olivia revealed. “I was 12 when she got remarried, and it was like somebody flipped a switch in her brain to turn that person off completely. And so to go from, ‘I love my mom. She comes with me to everything,’ to be begging for her attention was so hard because I knew that she can be a loving mother who cares about her kids. I know it’s in her.“
Back in her scene with Britani, Olivia told her mom that it was “important that [she] take accountability and realize that [she] wanted a mom” as Britani broke down.
“What kid is like, ‘I don’t really want my mom to raise me. I would really love to talk to my dad about periods. That’s ideal,’” Olivia concluded.
Following the sharing of her Instagram post, Olivia was met with a comment from Heather.
“You both were amazing and so real,” she wrote.
In response, Britani shared, “Thank you. So hard to watch tonight. Heartbreaking … feeling so grateful to at least be talking again and starting to rebuild.”
Someone else said, “You were incredibly brave and handled yourself beautifully. I wish I had those words when I was your age,” and Britani agreed, saying, “She really did.”
“Divorce is very hard on everyone. Work through it together and give it a chance. Kids need moms and moms need their kids,” shared a third commenter, prompting Britani to post a bandaged heart emoji.
Morena Baccarin Reveals Why She Didn’t Think She’d Be Cast In Sheriff Country
Morena Baccarin made her debut as Mickey Fox on Fire Country in season 2, giving fans of Edgewater’s fire department a taste of what they could expect if the franchise expanded to include a cop drama. But the actress wasn’t immediately a shoe-in to lead
A West Coast Vs. East Coast Problem
Fire Country is set in California, but the CBS original—a part of the network’s Fall Comfort TV line-up—actually films in Vancouver, Canada. The location was also intended to be home to
The actress told Variety that filming in Vancouver was a deal-breaker for her. She informed the show’s producers that she could only sign on to the series if they could relocate production to the East Coast. It was a gamble. Baccarin acknowledged, “I 100% thought the job was going away once I said that,” but her family comes first. Broadcast TV series, which typically film 20-22 episodes a season, are grueling and hard not only on the stars but also on their relationships. Being on the opposite side of the continent wouldn’t have been good for her marriage or her kids.
Obviously, Baccarin’s gamble paid off. She shared, “I think that was a big moment for me to realize that I am valuable enough for them to make that concession. It also sets up a really nice work relationship, not just that they want me, but that we are partners in this.”
However, the move to Toronto did complicate the logistics around crossovers for the franchise. Especially in the wake of the Leones suffering the loss of Sharon’s husband, Vince.

Sharon Leone Will Be In Sheriff Country More Than Fire Country Fans May Expect
Vancouver and Toronto are approximately 2,700 miles apart, which is certainly a significant obstacle for the franchise, but they’re making it work. Max Thieriot made an appearance as Bode Leone in
We’re basically shooting in L.A. and New York, and yet you would be surprised how much Sharon shows up on Sheriff Country. I’ve done two so far, and I have two coming up in the next two weeks, so that’s four already. They are not afraid to fly me!
Farr was in episode 2, “Fire Wall,” which was directed by Fire Country‘s Kevin Alejandro (who also directed episode 3, “The Sixth Man). Her presence on the cop drama does provide a satisfying continuity between both shows, given the gravity of Sharon’s loss. Hopefully, more stars will be able to make the leap for Sheriff Country’s freshman run, truly making Edgewater feel like the small town that ties the series together.
