When Cohen pressed her on if she would have protected Jen had she actually remembered that Jen hit her, Heather didn’t shut it down. Asked directly by Cohen if she thinks Jen punched her in the eye, Heather repeated that she only knows that she blacked out. Heather’s own statements during part one of the RHOSLC reunion leave this theory still in play as a possibility. Wouldn’t a physical fight on a television show cast doubt on that claim? And who needs protection more than one Jen Shah, whose legal case was - and still is - working its way through the court system? At the time of filming this episode, Jen had not yet changed her plea to guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and was asserting her innocence in the case. Why, after all, would a Housewife choose to protect someone who hurt them when they could call them out on television, getting justice and a potent storyline in the process? The only reason, amateur detective Whitney Rose suggests, would be to protect that person. 21 episodes seem to point in the direction of this theory. So what really happened? Below, the best theories - including one that a podcaster says he’s confirmed is true. And I woke up in my pajamas with a horrible black eye, and Jen said scratches on my back and scratches on my arm, which could have been anything,” she said. “I remember coming to my room, taking my wig off, and that’s it. “Otherwise it would’ve been shown.”įor her part, Heather admitted there is a lot missing from her recollection of the night, though things came back in bits and pieces. “There is no additional footage,” Cohen said. on that fateful San Diego trip were Jen Shah, Meredith Marks, and Angie Katsanevas the rest of the footage of them hanging out with Heather until the wee hours the morning aired on the show and did not provide any answers. It’s my own guilt and shame about blacking out and not being able to explain it.”Ĭohen confirmed that the people who jiggled the door handle and attempted to get into Heather’s room at 4:50 a.m. But I certainly do not want to implicate anyone here, anyone on production. There’s no way to hide it, and for me I went to my thing which is just humor, just make it go away. “I woke up in a very very high stress situation with so much shame and humiliation. “For me, I have a lot of Mormon shame about drinking,” she said. When Cohen and the rest of her RHOSLC cast mates asked why she withheld that information and instead joked around and suggested someone hit her, Heather broke down in tears. “I blacked out,” she said of what happened the fateful night she stayed up partying in San Diego before waking up with a shiner. During the sit-down with host Andy Cohen, Heather at least partially came clean. After a season of maddening teases, unresolved cliffhangers, and a whole lot of theories, part one of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake Cityreunion finally delivered some more information about how Heather Gay got a black eye.
