The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Britani Bateman is weighing in on the now-infamous “fruity pebbles” drama surrounding Utah.
“[Bret Engemann is] the ex-husband of one of my best friends, Angie Harrington,” Britani, 54, shared on the Tuesday, December 2, episode of SiriusXM’s The John Hill Show. “Angie is, I mean, talk about [a] beautiful person inside and out, and she says really, really great things about Bret and really great things about Demi too. She’s just a class act.”
Last month, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Demi Engemann and her husband Bret were put under the microscope when costar Jessi Ngatikaura seemingly revealed private — and controversial — information about their alleged sex life.
“I think I am just going to go ahead and say that grandpa Bret likes to drink her piss like it is dirty soda,” Jessi, 33, claimed via her Instagram Story on November 25. “He gulps it down like water. And that is what fruity pebbles means.”

Soon after, Demi, 30, shared her own perspective in a separate Instagram Story.
“What my husband and I did one time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage,” she said. “This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention away from her own behavior.”
While Britani made it clear that Angie did not and will not talk about the “fruity pebbles” drama, the Bravo reality star did have a theory about what’s really going down.
“This is, I think, what’s happening. I’m so embarrassed,” Britani shared with host John Hill while trying not to laugh. “For whatever reason, Mormons are, like, sex is the drug, right? Because they don’t drink, they don’t smoke, they don’t do any drugs. Sex is the drug. It’s the only approved drug if you’re married.”
She continued, “So what I think is happening is you know what squirting is? I’m blushing right now. … I don’t think anyone pulls up their skirt and pees in someone’s mouth. I don’t think that’s what’s happening, but I think there’s a squirting thing happening. I can’t believe we’re talking about this.”
The “fruity pebbles” drama is expected to continue to play out on upcoming episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Hulu announced last month that the show has been renewed for season 4, with 20 episodes coming in early 2026.
While the cast for season 4 has yet to be announced, season 3 included Demi, Jessi, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Mikayla Matthews, Miranda Hope and Whitney Leavitt.

Britani herself has an evolving relationship that is making news this season on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Despite breaking up with Jared Osmond on multiple occasions, Brittani confirmed she is back together with her on-again, off-again boyfriend.
“I’m so happy,” she shared. “I’m so happy and feel calm and peaceful and he’s my rock. I mean, we are each other’s person.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is streaming on Hulu now.
