The season 4 finale of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City revealed that Heather Gay’s black eye was caused by her former costar Jen Shah, who denied the claim on Instagram. The injury occurred during a trip to San Diego while Jen was awaiting trial for fraud charges, and Heather’s revelation could have negatively impacted Jen’s legal situation. Additionally, the hosts of “The Bravo Docket” have questions for Monica Garcia, who was unmasked as being involved with the Instagram gossip account Reality Von Tease, and hope that she will be honest about her involvement.
Heather Gay revealed that Jen Shah was responsible for her black eye, leading to questions about why she initially lied and the potential legal consequences for Jen during her pending federal criminal trial.
The season 4 finale of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City left fans with a lot of questions and one mystery was finally solved: Heather Gay’s black eye. After months of claiming she couldn’t remember how she got the injury, Heather, 49, revealed that her former co-star Jen Shah was the person responsible. However, Jen, 50, denied Heather’s claim in a post shared via Instagram, raising even more questions about the situation.
One theory for Heather’s initial silence came from “The Bravo Docket” cohost, Angela Angotti. As a trial lawyer, Angela speculated that Jen’s pending federal charges might have been a reason for Heather to conceal the truth about her black eye. When someone is out on bond on federal charges, part of their bond conditions is that they cannot commit additional crimes, so Heather’s revelation could have impacted Jen’s legal situation.
The infamous black eye incident took place when the RHOSLC cast visited San Diego during the show’s third season. At the time, Jen was waiting for trial on fraud charges stemming from her arrest in March 2021. Angela also suggested that the black eye allegations could have hurt Jen during her subsequent sentencing, potentially leading to a more severe punishment.
Additionally, the cast’s encounter with an Instagram gossip account called Reality Von Tease raised more questions. The account was unmasked during the season 4 finale, and one of the cast members, Monica Garcia, was revealed to have been involved with it. Monica has since claimed that she was not as involved as her co-stars believe, but Angela and her cohost Cesie Alvarez expressed interest in questioning her further and demanding answers. They also described their own interactions with Reality Von Tease, revealing the account’s strong negative opinions toward Jen Shah. The continuation of the season 4 reunion will likely provide further insight into these unresolved issues.
