Real Housewives Stars Join “The Traitors”
The eager anticipation ended in June 2024 when Peacock made known the cast list for its reality series “The Traitors”. Devotees of “Real Housewives” noticed the inclusion of four stars from different installments of the franchise. These actresses included Chanel Ayan from “Dubai”, Dolores Catania from “New Jersey”, Robyn Dixon from “Potomac”, and Dorinda Medley from “New York City”. Bravo stars Ciara Miller and Tom Sandoval from “Summer House” and “Vanderpump Rules” respectively, also made the cut.
Monica Garcia’s Shocking Omission
Fans were, however, left puzzled by the absence of Monica Garcia, a former starlet from “Salt Lake City” Housewife. This came after she made a stir for managing the fan page Reality Von Tease, as revealed in the season 4 finale. Garcia’s omission led to several speculative headlines, some of which she vehemently denied.
Garcia Refutes Damaging Accusation
A striking example unfolded on June 13 when Garcia took to her Instagram page to react to a headline claim by The Neighborhood Talk. The account had alleged that Garcia was dropped from “The Traitors” after failing a psych evaluation during the casting process. Upset, Garcia responded directly.
Challenging the Truth of the Claims
Garcia stated, “Okay. A lot of things are published about me that I can let go. This isn’t one of those things.” She asserted that such a claim was detrimental and dismissive to her mental health, insisting that it was fabricated. Garcia rode on to clarify that her involvement with “The Traitors” wasn’t that deep. “I never even made it to the stage of a psych evaluation, so claiming that I failed one that I was never asked to take is absurd,” she expressed.
Garcia’s Love for ‘Traitors’
Within the following hours, Garcia continued to update her fans. She shared her regret on not being part of “Traitors”. She stated, “I would have loved to have been all like ‘It was Professor Plum in the library with the candlestick in Scotland,’ or whatever.” She regretted about the missed opportunity but also confirmed that she wasn’t asked to take a psych evaluation test for “Traitors”.
Garcia’s TV Future Still Open
While she wasn’t asked to participate in “Traitors”, she was keen to emphasize that she had passed psych evaluations for other shows. Adding a dash of humor, she said, “The same way I passed the ‘Housewives’ psych evaluation test. Sorry to disappoint y’all.”
Garcia ended this wave of updates with a teaser about her future on TV. She stated, “Season 2’s coming.” She extended an invitation to her haters to stay tuned. It’s clear Garcia isn’t quitting reality television just because of the “Traitors” snub. Fans are keenly awaiting what’s next for her. In the meantime, her fans and critics alike will just have to believe her word over the claims unless more evidence emerges.
