Melissa Gilbert reveals RHOSLC’s Britani Bateman didn’t recognise her at ‘interesting’ run-in
Britani apparently thanked her for being a fan
Actress Melissa Gilbert has confessed that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Britani Bateman was totally unaware of who she was recently. Awkwardly, Britani “seemed a bit harried” and apparently thanked Melissa for being a fan of the Bravo show.
Melissa, who is best known for starring on The Little House on the Prairie, revealed that she’s a fan of the entire Real Housewives franchise, mainly because of her friend, Kyle Richards. She said the shows are her “guilty pleasure” and “so fun and entertaining”.
She wrote: “So the hubby and I had an interesting encounter with a couple of #bravolebrities the other day. Let me start by saying I’m a fan of the Real Housewives franchise. It started, of course, because of my sweet friend @kylerichards18 . I love @rhobhbravo.”

“Now I’ve become addicted to @rhonybravo@realhousewivesofsaltlakecity and @realhousewivesoforangecounty. So, the other day, we were walking past @theplazahotel and I said to @timbusfield, ‘We just walked by @britanibateman and Jared Osmond from RHOSLC.
“He grabbed my arm, turned me around and led me back to them. I’m shy. I would never have done it alone. Tim introduced me saying, ‘This is my wife, Melissa Gilbert from Little House on the Prairie.’ I laughed and said to them, ‘Big fan. Love your show,'” she added.
Melissa went on to explain how Britani “seemed a bit harried, like she wasn’t really in her body as she thanked me for being a fan,” revealing that Jared [Osmond, Britani’s fiancé] had lost his phone and a random woman found it, before Britani thanked her again.

She claimed: “Jared lamented being made to be the villain of the show. I said I understood. I’d done my time on a reality show years before, then Britani did an Irish Goodbye, just peaced out completely. She ran to a cab, leaving the three of us standing there.”
“Jared continued to tell us about all the things he said that didn’t make it on the air. Jared did a version of the same Irish Goodbye and poof, they were gone. I’m pretty sure they had no idea who they were talking to. #theresnobusinesslikeshowbusiness,” Melissa added.
However, Britani seemingly discovered the post about their run-in on Instagram and commented: “Oh my goodness are you kidding me right now???? I can’t believe the opportunity missed in this encounter. I’m such a huge fan of yours. Dang!!!!”
“Someone had just stolen my engagement ring out of my purse. I was absolutely freaked out and had a lead on it which is why I hailed a cab without even saying goodbye. Jared was freaked out as well, love you and next time let’s go grab a coffee,” she wrote.
