Angie Katsanevas savagely trolled her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” co-star Lisa Barlow after Ben Affleck couldn’t remember meeting her.
On Saturday, a Bravo fan page shared a clip of the “Gone Girl” actor appearing to be clueless about ever meeting Barlow.
In the comments section, Katsanevas, 52, wrote, “[Ben] didn’t know Lisa but he recognized Celia.” (Celia is Katsanevas’ beloved pet poodle that “RHOSLC” star Mary M. Cosby blamed for farting during a scene in Season 6.)
As Page Six previously reported, all of the Affleck drama began during a Season 6 episode of the hit Bravo reality series, in which Barlow, 51, name-dropped the movie star and Blake Lively as an excuse for her to skip Katsanevas’ girls’ trip.
“I don’t want to spend the night with [co-star Bronwyn Newport]. She’s a pathological liar. She can’t tell the truth to save her life. It’s like, disgusting,” the Vida Tequila co-owner shared while on a FaceTime call with Katsanevas.
“Also, I have a work thing. It’s like, a big deal. I think what people forget is I have a very full life. Because I keep it kinda private. And like, I’m not gonna drop names, but like, I’ll be with Ben and Blake [Lively],” Barlow added.
“I’ll be with Ben Affleck and you’ll be with Bronwyn.”
However, Affleck, 53, said he doesn’t remember ever meeting Barlow, telling Access Hollywood that he didn’t “want to get anybody in trouble.”
“I don’t know what this is – an event in Salt Lake City? Like, prove somebody right or wrong?” the “Gigli” star asked.
Though Barlow never clarified where she met Affleck on the call, the interviewer told the “Accountant” star that it was likely held in Utah.
“I haven’t been in Utah in maybe 8, 9 or 10 years, I don’t know,” Affleck said. “It doesn’t look familiar to me and I don’t remember anything.”
“I don’t want to embarrass her because I say hi to a lot of people, I don’t want to be the jerk who is like, ‘I did meet you.’ … You don’t remember everyone you meet,” he added.
“I don’t think I’m qualified to weigh in on this, whatever this raging controversy is.”
After Affleck’s response went viral, Barlow took to social media to share receipts, commenting under Access Hollywood’s post explaining that she met Affleck at the SXSW movie festival last March.
“SXSW [for] The Accountant 2,” she wrote, referring to Affleck’s movie premiere at the annual Austin, Texas, festival.
“And it was a great movie and party,” the reality star added.
Barlow also took to TikTok to share a video of herself at SXSW, watching Affleck walk the red carpet and seeing Lively talk on stage following the “Another Simple Favor” premiere.
