Whitney Rose’s marital struggles with husband Justin Rose will be front and center on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4.

“It was our anniversary, I just asked, ‘Do you still wanna do this?’’’ Whitney, 36, confessed to friend Angie Katsanevas in the trailer, which dropped on Friday, August 11. “He was like, ‘Do you?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know.’”

A separate scene flashed to Whitney and Justin, 54, out to dinner. “To see your wedding ring in the drawer every day, that hurts me,” she admitted, wiping away tears.

Whitney and Justin tied the knot in 2009 before welcoming two kids: Bobbi, 13, and Brooks, 10.

“When I married Justin, I was five months pregnant, and I was wearing my high school prom dress, standing in front of about 50 people who didn’t want us to be together,” Whitney recalled of their nuptials — and 18-year age gap — during a November 2020 episode of RHOSLC. “We had this hot office romance that we were trying to hide from everyone because we were both married to other people.”

Costar Heather Gay, who is Whitney’s cousin, alleged at the time that Whitney and Justin were excommunicated from the Mormon church as a result of their affair. Whitney has denied the claims.

“For those who have watched the 1st episode of #rhoslc on @bravotv … there is something I want to correct,” she tweeted after the episode aired. “Contrary to what one of my cast mates stated, I WAS NOT EXCOMMUNICATED from the Mormon church. I chose to walk away. … Although I no longer identify as a Mormon, I still have a deep love and admiration for all of my Mormon friends and family.”

Whitney and Justin renewed their vows in 2020, which was filmed for the debut season of RHOSLC.

“The vow renewal was happening regardless of the show,” she told E ntertainment Tonight at the time. “That was something that Justin and I said, we always joked that if we made it to the 10-year mark — which in and of itself being a second marriage and an affair, we already beat, like, every odd against us, right? So, here we are and it was important to us to celebrate that.”

While RHOSLC season 4 will follow Whitney and Justin’s ups and downs, the new episodes will also see the return of costar Mary Cosby after her season 2 exit. “Here I am! Somebody rescue me quick,” Mary, 50, quipped in a confessional before walking into Meredith Marks’ boutique — asking if “somebody farted.”

RHOSLC also stars Lisa Barlow, Marks, 51, and newcomer Monica Garcia.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premieres on Bravo Tuesday, September 5, at 9 p.m. ET.

The Rising Trend of Immigrant-Driven Police Car Destruction

Recent events have highlighted a concerning trend of police vehicle damage and theft during immigration-related protests. On February 3, 2025, a demonstration against federal immigration policies in Arizona’s West Valley turned violent, resulting in significant property damage and a brazen act of police vehicle theft.

Escalation of Protests

The protest, which began peacefully, escalated as the crowd grew to approximately 1,000 people. By 7:30 PM, demonstrators had taken over the intersection of 67th Avenue and Camelback Road, setting off fireworks and engaging in unruly behavior. As the situation deteriorated, some protesters began throwing rocks, concrete chunks, and glass bottles at officers.

Police Vehicle Theft and Damage

In a shocking turn of events, one protester managed to steal a police patrol vehicle. According to a Glendale Police spokesperson, the suspect “jumped into one of our patrol vehicles and drove it a short distance before it was quickly recovered”. This incident underscores the heightened tensions and bold actions taken by some demonstrators.

The damage was not limited to this single act of theft. Five marked patrol vehicles sustained significant damage, including:

Broken windows
Slashed tires
Body and hood dents

Wider Impact and Response

The unrest spread beyond law enforcement targets. Multiple civilian vehicles and area businesses also suffered damage, and a large storage container behind a business complex was set on fire. To regain control of the situation, authorities deployed chemical agents around 10:15 PM to disperse what they termed an “unlawful assembly”.

Context of Immigration Tensions

This incident occurs against the backdrop of heightened immigration enforcement efforts by the Trump administration. Recent directives have led to an aggressive increase in arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with officials aiming to detain 1,200 to 1,500 individuals daily. This policy shift has sparked protests in multiple cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta.

Conclusion

The theft and destruction of police vehicles during immigration protests represent a troubling escalation in civil unrest. While the majority of demonstrators express their views peacefully, these incidents highlight the potential for violence and property damage when tensions run high. Law enforcement agencies and community leaders face the challenge of balancing public safety with the right to protest as the debate over immigration policies continues to intensify.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Dominates 2025 Grammys

Kendrick Lamar dominated the 67th Grammy Awards, held on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The rapper swept all five categories he was nominated in, including the prestigious Song of the Year and Record of the Year awards for his track “Not Like Us”.

“Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake, became the de facto song of 2024 when it was released in May, topping the Billboard singles charts. The song’s success at the Grammys further solidified Lamar’s position in his long-standing rivalry with Drake, with the track winning awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video during the Premiere Ceremony.

Lamar’s acceptance speeches were notable for their focus on Los Angeles and its recovery efforts. During his acceptance for Record of the Year, he acknowledged various neighborhoods in Los Angeles and emphasized the ongoing wildfire recovery efforts. This aligned with the Grammy’s overall theme this year, which included raising funds for wildfire relief in the Los Angeles area.

The rapper’s victories come at a significant time in his career. Having released his album “GNX” in November, Lamar is now set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show next week. His Grammy success has further elevated his status in the hip-hop community and the music industry at large.

Lamar’s wins were not without controversy, however. The track “Not Like Us” is currently involved in a legal dispute initiated by Drake against Universal Music Group. Drake alleges that the label, which represents both him and Lamar, jeopardized his career by promoting the song.

Despite the controversy, Lamar’s clean sweep at the Grammys has cemented his place as one of the most influential and successful artists in contemporary music. His ability to combine critical acclaim with commercial success and cultural impact was on full display at this year’s ceremony.
