Bronwyn Newport Reveals How Todd Reacted to Lisa's Gout Dig: "To Be Honest..."
When Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn Newport got into a heated argument during Season 6, Episode 2 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, insults were thrown, but none surprised the 'Wives more than Lisa dubbing Bronwyn a "gout d--k sucker." Now, Bronwyn is revealing exactly how that insult landed with her husband, Todd Bradley.
"I don’t think Todd was offended by it," Bronwyn shared during a September interview at Bravo HQ. "I don’t think Todd was worried about it. I don’t think he cried about it."
She added that Todd was more concerned by the content of the insult than its direction at him. "I think he more was like, ‘Eww, why do you guys say stuff like that to each other, ever? Like why are you guys talking about d--ks ever, let alone ones that are infested with anything," she said.
Bronwyn Newport reveals that Todd previously suffered from gout
Although the "gout" insult seemingly flew out of left field during the Sept. 30 episode, Bronwyn shed more light on its origins during her Bravo HQ visit.
"I mean, yes, Todd has had gout before, in his feet," she shared. "I don’t think you can have gout in your penis, to be honest with you."
Bronwyn also admitted that while she previously thought of the disease as "'Ew, yuck, gout, whatever," fans have since cleared up some misconceptions for her through her DMs.
"A lot of people DM-ed me and said that they had it, and how they got it, and I’ve learned all about gout since," Bronwyn added. "And I know that I don’t wanna be the jokester of gout of America from here on out. It’s something that happens. It’s something you can have treated."
Lisa Barlow explains her gout insult for Bronwyn Newport
For her part, Lisa doubled down on the insult during a Sept. 30 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. When asked by Andy Cohen to defend her actions, she replied, "I mean, she's a gout d--k sucker."
When Andy asked Lisa on WWHL to define "gout d--k," she answered, "I mean, you can Google it. There's pictures, so you have to be prepared. There are pictures. There's visuals."
Andy joked, "Listen, I know my way around a d--k, but I've never seen a gout d--k" and added "maybe that's a good Housewife tagline for me."
Meredith Marks and Angie Katsanevas weigh in on Lisa Barlow and Bronwyn Newport's fight
Meredith Marks opened up about Lisa and Bronwyn's showdown (and ensuing insults) to The Daily Dish, and shared she thinks it was a result of "a lot of tension and discord between them" that built up.
"I think there's a lot of hostility and anger,” Meredith added.
Both Meredith and Angie Katsanevas pointed to one moment from the Season 5 reunion as the origin of the fight: when Lisa accused Bronwyn and Todd of not actually purchasing a $4 million diamond necklace Bronwyn wore to her anniversary party. During the first cast trip of Season 6, Bronwyn mentioned Lisa and “all of her lawsuits." Then, when word got back to Lisa, it led to the showdown with Bronwyn at socialite Amy Steele’s home.
“I think that Bronwyn didn't like that Lisa called her out about the necklace last year, and rather than talking things through with her, she retaliated,” Meredith told The Daily Dish. “I don't think that's any shock to anybody, and it's just not the best path to go down.”
Angie, meanwhile, admitted that “obviously there are some feelings there” for Bronwyn. She added to The Daily Dish, “Bronwyn bringing this all out, there’s a part of me that understands why she felt like she wanted to say, ‘Look, you said this about me, but yet you’re over here with your own issues, bringing up my finances.’ You can see both sides.”
Kroy Biermann Writes Cryptic Post About “Domestic Violence” and “Gaslighting” Amid Contentious Divorce From Kim Zolciak as He Shares What Helped Him

Since filing for divorce in 2023, Kroy has gone back and forth with Kim in the press. For a time, the Don’t Be Tardy exes lived in the same house amid their separation. Cops were called on more than one occasion, though both sides have shared their own version of events. Back in August, he claimed in a court filing that Kim was psychologically and emotionally abusive.
On October 9, Kroy wrote a cryptic post on Instagram.
“I’ve wrestled with this post for days, trying to find the words to communicate the weight and complexity of what I’ve lived through,” wrote the star. “How do you put years of confusion, pain, and survival into a few paragraphs? How do you explain what it’s like to be trapped in something that looks like love but feels like you’re slowly being ripped apart? There was a time I didn’t think I’d make it. The pain was so constant, the confusion, the isolation, the gaslighting.”
“It felt like my soul was caving in,” he continued. “I was trapped in deliberately orchestrated chaos, yet somehow I was the one blamed for the storm. Every word I said was twisted. Every effort I made was never enough. And eventually, I started to believe, maybe I was the problem. There were nights I prayed for it all to just stop, even if that meant I stopped.”
Kroy shared that “death” began to “sound like peace.”
“God met me in that darkness,” Kroy added. “When I didn’t have the strength to fight for myself, He fought for me. He reminded me that my life still had purpose, that my story wasn’t over. And in the middle of all the pain and abuse, I heard His whisper: ‘You are mine. You are not what they said about you.’”
“I’m still healing. I still have scars. But I’m here, and I’m proud I stayed. Because staying doesn’t mean staying in the abuse,” he said. “It means staying alive. Staying faithful. Staying open to what God can do with your pain. You are not alone. You are not too broken. You are not forgotten. God’s not done with your story.”
Kroy included the hashtags, “#DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth,” “#SuicideAwareness,” and “#HopeAfterAbuse.”
