‘RHOSLC’ Star Bronwyn Newport’s Past Mistake Raises Questions About Her Parenting
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Bronwyn Newport’s parenting style recently came under fire as details about her past came to light. An Instagram Story she shared, which was later reposted on Reddit, drew criticism for her decision to place her daughter, Gwen, in a teen rehabilitation center in 2020.
At just 18 years old, Gwen has now left her parents’ home, but the shadows of her upbringing have cast a long shadow over her life. Critics not only questioned Bronwyn’s ability to care for her daughter, but also expressed concern about the emotional and psychological impact of sending Gwen to rehab. This scrutiny intensified when it was revealed that Gwen was unable to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family that year, having failed to meet the goals set by her rehabilitation program.
The fallout from these revelations sparked heated discussions about Bronwyn’s parenting style, with many fans and observers debating the effectiveness of her decisions. Some argue that putting Gwen into rehab was a necessary step toward recovery, while others see it as a failure in providing the nurturing environment a young girl needs.

Bronwyn emphasized the importance of love and support, saying: “I always think everyone should have all the love and support they can, and whenever that seems like a path of love and support, I hope they can take this path together.” However, she candidly admitted that at this point, it might be best for her to take a step back from this journey for the sake of everyone involved.
