Fans of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City have witnessed Bronwyn Newport’s marriage to Todd Bradley on-screen, but how accurate is the portrayal? In a recent interview on Watch What Happens Live, Bronwyn opened up about her marriage and addressed some of the common perceptions that have been shaped by the show.

Bronwyn Newport began by explaining that much of what makes her relationship with Todd truly special is not something that can be captured on reality TV. “So much of what’s really special and wonderful between Todd and I, he wants to be private,” she told Andy Cohen. “So I knew that was never being filmed for the show.”

This sentiment highlights a common challenge for many reality TV stars—how to balance private life with public exposure. For Bronwyn, her marriage to Todd is a private space that’s not meant for the cameras, and that may not always align with what viewers see on-screen.

As for how RHOSLC depicted her relationship, Bronwyn shared that she wanted to be herself but quickly realized that being fully transparent might not always be the best approach in the world of reality TV. “I wanted to go on the show and be myself and put myself out there,” she said. “I learned that honesty is the best policy unless you’re on reality TV.”

“There’s some days that Todd drives me crazy,” she confessed. This raw honesty, while relatable, may not always fit the picture-perfect image that viewers expect from reality TV couples. But it’s exactly this authenticity that many fans appreciate about her.

Fans have also had a lot to say about Todd’s behavior toward Bronwyn on camera, with some viewers finding him to be a bit harsh. Bronwyn defended her husband, explaining that Todd simply isn’t a fan of being filmed and that this often comes across on-screen. “He just hates the camera,” she explained.

At the RHOSLC reunion, Todd addressed the criticism directly, admitting that his actions may have appeared overly harsh. “Well, we talked about it at the reunion and I say I probably did appear to be too harsh,” Todd said.
