‘RHOSLC’ Star Lisa Barlow Denies Owing Former Business Partner Over $400K In Unpaid Loans: ‘I Look Forward To The Truth Coming Out’

Bravo star Lisa Barlow is objecting to a lawsuit filed against her.

According to reports, the 49-year-old denies allegations that she owes her ex-business partner Bart Carlson more than $400,000.

In response to the suit, Lisa Barlow says in a statement:

“Bart Carlson was once a business partner in a restaurant in Park City and, I thought, a friend. I am deeply saddened that he has decided nine years after our restaurant business ceased to claim that I owe him money.”

She continues:

“To be very clear, the claim that I owe Bart or his company money is untrue. I pay my bills and obligations and I always have. In addition, Bart has no interest in Luxe Marketing or Vida Tequila and did not invest in either business. I look forward to the truth coming out and I intend to hold Bart fully accountable for any damage this personal attack may cause me or my businesses.”

Bart Carlson alleges in the complaint that defendants Lisa Barlow and her associated businesses, Vida Tequila and Luxe Marketing, are on the hook for a $410,000 debt. He claims that the TV personality came to him in 2010 seeking financial help with the companies as they were facing hardship.

Agreeing to help, Carlson says he began loaning money to Barlow up until 2018, though he notes he didn’t put an obligatory time frame on repayment as the two were very good friends. However, according to Carlson, he’s tried to collect the debt several times over the years to no avail, prompting him to take legal action. He claims that Barlow and her businesses have been giving him the run-around, telling him that the companies still don’t have the means to pay him back the $410,842.36 he says he’s owed.
