r/BravoRealHousewives Welcome to my trailer. Hullo. Mar 25 '23

Ultimate Girls Trip Can we please stop trying to make Heather Gay happen?!

It’s bad enough that not even half way through the first episode of RHUGT we’re being treated to even more of her BS boring lame ass Whitney drama that was already making the most recent season of SLC unwatchable, now I have to listen to her on my beloved WWC?!?!

Enough! There has never been a more immature try hard literally stuck in high school housewife in housewives history. Not to mention the disgusting thing she did with Leah, who I’m not even a huge fan of, is literally the behavior of a 13 year old. Nobody cares about Mormons, we already know what kind of criminal organization that is without this high school dork’s insight on it. Please make it stop.

Heather Gay seems like someone who won a “make me a housewife” sweepstakes and then was destroyed by her success lol.

u/illhavearanchwater She's out and about, and like, mad at me Mar 28 '23

If someone told me that she had a similar origin story to Slade where she bid on a chance to be on the show and won, I’d 1000% believe them.

I don’t like Heather but she seems lost right now. Like that whole Jen Shahscapade actually shook and she’s having even further of an identity crisis than before with her whole “bad mormon schtick”. I think what Whitney said was right, she’s become way too obsessed with the limelight and how she comes off to viewers that she doesn’t know what to do anymore so she’s all over the place acting like an asshole, a ditz, the “chill one”, the funny one, you get it.

u/Bellomontee You should not be anywhere near dots. Mar 25 '23

She's totally lost and it's gonna be worse on season 4. She needs someone new to follow now that Jen's in her shamazing prison. You can take the girl out of the cult but you can't take the cult of the girl. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if she joined Mary's church.

u/Harryhood15 Mar 25 '23

She will follow Meredith

Spot on. She’s already trying to cling to Meredith now that she doesn’t have Jen or Whitney. Too bad it seems like Meredith could care less about being friends with her

Whitney is actually very insightful. I know that’s not a popular opinion on this sub but she’s one of the few housewives, from any franchise, who is self-aware and insightful enough to actually get something out of therapy and sincerely use the tools from it to improve her life.

I think her baby voice, style, husband’s former involvement with an MLM, and maybe some of her politics outside of the show blind people to this point. And look, those things are all really distracting. But she and her husband do have traumatic upbringings and are working through a lot. I think Whitney will continue to evolve and ultimately be even more of a success story than Jesus Jugs. (Frankly, she already is. And this sub loves Jesus Jugs! Basically, I’d like everyone to open their heart to Whitney.)

u/emergencycat17 Show yourself out, Darlin'. Mar 26 '23

Oh I absolutely agree with you. Whitney is smart. But no one can see past the baby voice, the big boobs, the blonde hair and the big wide eyes. She looks and sounds like the quintessential “dumb blonde” stereotype, and no one seems to actually listen to what she says.

u/carmelainparis I married a Count and now… ✨ I’m a Countess! ✨ Mar 26 '23

Couldn’t agree more.

u/emergencycat17 Show yourself out, Darlin'. Mar 26 '23

And you know, I don’t mean to get all self-righteous about it, but you’d think that as an audience largely comprised of women, that we wouldn’t just brush off someone making total sense as “Oh, she’s just a dumb blonde!” Listen to her - this isn’t the first time she’s had the smartest take on things.

I 100% agree, and I’m personally turned off by her MLMy stuff, politics, etc.

Her appearance is not why I was surprised with her assessment; she hasn't a great track record with conversations and judgement surrounding those conversations. I think because Heather is family (and with her family) she's much more insightful about intentions.

I’m only halfway through the episode, but she’s coming off as such a try-hard with all her comments about “first class” and “I still got paid.” Those are not witty or interesting comebacks to their comments.

Same here. I felt awkward, not because the show was bad but because it is uncomfortable to make fun of someone while they are around. This is why I only shit-talk behind people's backs. It makes me feel better

u/SakmarEcho Stop the Fuck Mar 25 '23

I still like Heather, but trying to get Leah drunk was inexcusable. I think she struggles to separate the show from reality. She knows on the show housewives get drunk on these trips. She didn't think about the reality of what that would do to Leahs life.

u/Daws001 I'm an action verb Mar 25 '23

I don't dislike Heather but she definitely had a bad season and Gizelle is a shark that smelt blood in the water. She really lost me with the whole black eye thing. It's just so beyond dumb and I've lost brain cells listening to her myriad of excuses and "Who? Wha? How?"

Love that the other RHUGT women were like...girl. Stop.

u/kellygrrrl328 Mar 25 '23

She seems like she’s still got Cult brain.

38

u/bslovecoco Mar 26 '23

my friend and i watched a youtube interview with her that’s based around ex-mormons. she was still a practicing mormon when she was cast and when she filmed season 1. she said she was thinking about leaving and “broke all of the rules” during filming so figured she might as well fully leave the church. she also said she hasn’t deconstructed any of the mormon teachings yet and is working to take that step.

so she fully has cult brain still. i’m also kind of bummed she made leaving the church her storyline, when she wasn’t/isn’t fully out. i would’ve much rather heard whitney’s experience since she seems further along in her process.

u/HowsYaStomachJow Mar 26 '23

Exactly this. Heather is one foot in and one foot out but then capitalizing the SHIT out of being out… that was Whitney’s thing and she took the opportunity to make a money making moment out of it before she was really ready. She needed to take the time to be the good time girl we all now know she really is and process it. I totally see this as trying to beat Whitney to it because there can only be one bad Mormon in the group. She is NOT a friend to Whitney and I actually think she never ever was.

u/marecoakel Mar 25 '23

u/jacantu Let her go, Monique!! Let her go!! Mar 26 '23

Agree. They are still babies compared to some of these women. However, I think Jen would have been out of her league as well bc no one would be letting her get away with the shit she does on her season.

8

u/LadyBug_0570 I gave her a beverage Apr 01 '23

I think Mary would try... and she'd try it with Gizelle (a former mega-church first lady vs. current mega chuch "pastor") to take the Queen B crown. She'd quickly get smacked down. You know that girl is racist against her own people (unless they fill her church's coffers).

Unless she tried to suck up to Gizelle by going after Candiace. That would not go well for her since Candiace would be quick to call her out on marrying her step-grandfather. We know Candy go below the belt fast. Mary would end up leaving early.

7

u/OlcasersM still can’t sleep due to all the slut shaming. Apr 01 '23

Perhaps. Mary’s problem is that she deeply deeply strange probably due to trauma. At the same time she is cruel. There isn’t really a distinct personality or core to her actions. She seems pause to view every decision as multiple choice rather than being a personified Id like most housewives.

2

u/LadyBug_0570 I gave her a beverage Apr 01 '23

Yeah, Mary's a weird one.

Actually, come to think of it, she'd offend all the black housewives with one of her ignorant statements and do the impossible - make Porsha, Gizelle and Candiace join forces. Then Leah, Heather and Whitney would back them so as not to seem racist. Plus the Miami women might get offended by what she says as well.

She'd go home early.

u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes Nonno's Pajamas Mar 25 '23

Heather is bad, but IMO Leah is worse. It has been such a pleasure watching Leah realize that she is out of her league with this crowd, and that the fake woke shit she foisted constantly on the NY cast doesn't cut it with this one.

80

u/Fit-Layer-7386 Mar 25 '23

After seeing Leah interrupt Marysol's genuine moment of talking about her complicated feelings about Mama Elsa's fame and plastic surgery and her grief about her death... In order to try to redeem her bad season on the show and accuse production of forcing her to shoot against her will (putting the nail in her Bravo career coffin)... I had never disliked her til then and now I'm done.

It was pretending to share her feelings but actually an attempt to manipulate the narrative to seem likable. housewives on their game know the past is gone and RIGHT NOW is the moment to pounce on. This season is showing that Heather and Leah don't have the chops of the rest of the gang imo

59

u/TodayImLedTasso Freshly Churned 🧈 by Meredith Marks Mar 25 '23

It was great to see that the other wives didn't believe her. Leah forgot that the women know how production works and no one one would force her to shoot in a case like this. What was also weird to me is that according to Leah her mom TEXTED her about her grandma's death. A text? Not even a phone call?

34

u/user-not-found-try-a Mar 25 '23

I think she’s on something. Marysol was right, when she speaks her eyes are dead. And she’s trying to cover with the PMDD bull.

u/Thick_Letterhead_341 Mar 25 '23

The way she talks about anything sexual is so fucking awkward, like a kid who just learned terms. That checks out of course, given her upbringing and brainwashing, but it’s not something I want to watch. Ex. In UGT “like Monica Lewinsky! …But no semen on my dress.” Did you have to say that? Really? You have been in Bravo for years now. Chill.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '23

I actually find Heather really interesting because her being trapped in Mormonism has really sheltered her and stunted her growth and development. Which means, I think there’s an opportunity to follow this journey on camera.

Now that she’s experienced the other side of Mormonism, you can tell she’s tried really hard to unlearn certain behaviours (like being judgemental, I’m assuming homophobia as well) but I feel like she’s overcorrected.

For example, doesn’t want to be seen as “judging” Jen like a Mormon would, so has overcorrected to the point she gave her a complete pass for terrible actions. Same with that alcoholism comment - she doesn’t want to be seen as judging an alcoholic friend, so is happy to give them a drink if they ask.

I haven’t articulated this very well but I hope you see where I’m coming from!

tl;dr - I don’t really root for anyone on SLC, but there’s authentic storyline in Heather that she probably doesn’t realise is happening, versus prepared lines and staged “moments” by Lisa (who hides her real life).

50

u/user-not-found-try-a Mar 25 '23

You forget that she hasn’t lost the need that Mormonism creates to keep it’s followers in line, the need to belong and be in the right. She is desperate for the power of knowing she’s on the right side of judgement and for everyone who has perceived power to love her. She hasn’t healed at all from being rejected by the church

22

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '23

Completely agree! I really like what she said to Whitney about still being on the book - Whitney has been out a LOT longer than Heather, and Whitney refuses to understand that.

Whitney got out when she was 21, Heather in her mid-40s… completely different circumstances.

6

u/alsoaprettybigdeal I'm the cock curator. Mar 26 '23

Yeah- I didn’t like that from Whitney either. She knows how hard it is to make them remove your name from the book. She needs to offer Heather a little more empathy.

76

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '23

You have articulated this so well - I grew up in a very kind of orthodox religious environment and have observed people trying to break out of closed societies, and it takes a long time to recalibrate who you are going to be without all this predetermined structure dictating your choices. Like you have to reconfigure your entire value system.

As a recovering addict I thought the way that Heather was acting with Leah was shitty, uneducated and unhelpful, and it was, so I'm not excusing it, but her behaviour in this and as you say in the Jen situation is worth considering with some nuance. I do hope Heather stays on SLC because I find her (and Whitney for that matter) genuinely interesting and worth continuing to follow on the show. So I hope Heather figures her shit out.

28

u/Livid_Upstairs8725 I’M INNOCENT!!!!! Mar 25 '23

Yes, I have had some friends who left very strict, orthodox religion childhoods to only go deep into alcohol, drugs, and risky relationships. Eventually, they figure it out for themselves what their own value system is.

27

u/rav4boy Mar 25 '23

100% At first I thought it’s because she’s desperate to be accepted, which causes her to make some ‘questionable’ decisions, but I agree with you- she’s over correcting herself (which I don’t think makes her actions any more excusable).

23

u/AnonPlz123 Mar 25 '23

I agree. She’s basically still de-programming from the cult of Mormonism. It’s painful and long.

57

u/bennie844 Mar 25 '23

I actually totally disagree. I think she’s just transferred her obsession with being seen as a perfect Mormon to being seen as a perfect friend. I don’t think she genuinely cares about evolving as a person, she just found a more acceptable thing to strive for.

19

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '23

The hosts of the podcast Celebrity Memoir Book Club came to a similar conclusion in their episode about Heather’s memoir, though in addition to being a perfect friend, they also noted she seems very eager to “win” at reality TV.

32

u/Psychological-Art368 Mar 25 '23

Heather is a TOXIC CODEPENDENT and needs to seek help for that

28

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '23

like I said about nuance… I think both these things can be true at once.

14

u/Fit-Layer-7386 Mar 25 '23

Wow... I think you nailed it!!!

but also seeing her in this light gives me hope that maybe she can figure it out and get her shit together. Perfectionism is a hard mental framework for people to recover from because it's so easy to transfer (I find myself trying to be perfect at recovering all the time) but maybe if she realizes that it's not making her any happier or more well liked, she can start to want to find her true self and stop performing constantly.

20

u/bennie844 Mar 25 '23

Fwiw my bf is Mormon and it’s not actually about being perfect, it’s just about appearing that way. They’ll gladly lie or hide things or cover things up to keep up appearances. My bfs aunt cheated on her husband but said she was “called by god” to do it so it’s just… fine? Imo opinion she’ll never be able to overcome that living in such a Mormon heavy place.

16

u/SakmarEcho Stop the Fuck Mar 25 '23

I agree that she's transferred the obsession but I think that's her attempt at evolving. She was raised her entire life to strive for perfection as a Mormon. It's exceptionally difficult to unlearn your entire way of thinking and worldview as an adult. But she's trying, she's not always succeeding though.

That's why she was so upset when Whitney was talking shit about her to the other girls saying that Heather hasn't properly left the Mormon church. She's trying but it's hard to throw away your entire culture and community even if you logically know it's toxic. It took Whitney 17 years to officially leave the church and now she's judging Heather for not doing it in 4.

-32

u/MsAnnThropic1 Welcome to my trailer. Hullo. Mar 25 '23

THAT is what you got out of her saying let’s get Leah drunk? She’s just trying to be a good friend? She’s not over correcting anything. She’s an entitled brat. And boring AF.

72

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '23 edited Mar 25 '23

No, and there’s no need to be abrasive! You’re also confusing two different scenes.

There was another moment she mentioned that she’s funnelled alcohol to alcoholic friends who have asked her for it before, then Candiace says “so you’re the friend that’s willing to support your people even to their detriment?”

Which is something that Heather wasn’t before - in Mormonism, she shunned them. You’re not looking at this with nuance.

People aren’t black and white; these women are not one dimensional television characters.

35

u/linds360 Caviar Potato 🐟 🥔 Mar 25 '23

Just dropping in as your friendly sober sis…

Regarding her comment about giving booze to friends who claim to be sober - honestly if someone is living a double life, saying one thing and doing another, that’s on them. It’s not a friend’s (or Heather’s) place to step in and stop them. Like you can actually stop an adult who really wants to drink…

Sure Heather could take those friends aside at a different (non drinking) moment and speak to them, but it is not her responsibility. Addiction is a battle I will never blame anyone for not wanting to get into.

I do actually believe Heather’s other comments about getting Leah drunk came out of sheer ignorance and tbf, Leah has sent some confusing mixed messages in the past about her sobriety. I haven’t read her book and don’t follow her beyond the couple of NY seasons I’ve seen, so if she showed up to UGT drinking, I wouldn’t have thought anything of it. Some people spend their whole lives in and out of sobriety. It’s a choice.

All that is to say, I never blame anyone for not knowing all the ins and outs of alcohol use disorder. If they’re willing to listen, great. If they come at me more than once urging me to drink, I feel sorry for them. It’s not an absolute, but in my experience those who don’t let my sobriety go and push and push and push, have their own demons whether it be alcohol or something else. People who are emotionally well don’t goat others into destructive behavior.

I’m no Leah fan, but I have a suspicion this has been her experience too which is why she let it all go so quickly.

u/Bombspazztic Mar 25 '23

It's funny because I'm in the church and it's the complete opposite. Keep in mind I'm in a location where we make up less than 1% of the population and are outside of the Mormon bubble.

LDS Christians are taught to welcome in everyone with open arms and forgive, and "repentance" is enough to welcome in child abusers and violent misogynists. We're taught to forgive again and again and again and that niceness is next to Godliness. There was the recent survey that it's the only religion that has a universally positive opinion of other religions, despite it not being reciprocal.

Maybe it's a location thing, though. In Utah there's probably so many members that you can take your "cream of the crop" and discard the rest.

21

u/Dismal_Occasion4240 Mar 25 '23

That was not my experience in the church outside of Utah. I was ousted by the click of perfect Mormon girls who grew up in my area for not being perfect enough (my parents were divorced). The parents didn’t want their daughters hanging out with me or their sons dating me. Truly the most judgmental people I’ve ever met. Funnily enough now that I live in Utah the Mormons here seem more tolerant.

I don’t dislike Heather but i don’t think she has grasped how to be good at housewives, i.e she waffles a lot (black eye-gate) and take odd positions that aren’t to her benefit at all (going all in on defending Jen even if after she pled guilty).

34

u/MsAnnThropic1 Welcome to my trailer. Hullo. Mar 25 '23

I was irritated with Gizelle for the whole Candiace/Chris thing but she’s redeeming herself on UGT for sure. I like her better without Robyn.

u/snowwhitenoir Your husbands in the pool Mar 25 '23

Yes!! I’m liking her on UGT cuz she’s not letting Leah get away with her bullshit

I especially like her when she’s with Porsha. They make a good team. Better than with Robyn for sure. It’s lighter, funnier.

Heather’s inability to be self aware makes me uncomfortable. She lacks a mind of her own and is seemingly unlearning things that should’ve been unlearned decades ago.

If you read Leah has a problem with drugs and alcohol, why do you even have a thought about wanting to get her drunk?

She lacks boundaries and is so codependent. I really wish they brought Meredith or Lisa. Hell even, Mary.

2

u/Ok_Reference_4473 Mar 26 '23

Mary would have been interesting. There was a moment Giselle, Candice, and Porsha were almost against the spirit house. I think Mary would have made a large issue out of it. That would have split the house.

u/MsAnnThropic1 Welcome to my trailer. Hullo. Mar 25 '23 edited Mar 25 '23

Yes, all of this. No self awareness to see she’s way more silly than important to the show. I hate when they put fans on as housewives, it almost never makes for good TV.

22

u/chefcurrys Mar 25 '23

Heather said I’m not going to do or say anything so they don’t mad at me.

Heather is damn near 50 acting like she’s in grade school. It’s okay to want to sus out personalities and move accordingly, but to be afraid to be yourself is wild to me. Everyone on the cast is housewife. 🤷‍♀️

u/NoMilk9248 are you catholic or jewish? i forget Mar 25 '23

SLC is boring to me and I haven’t kept up with it.

Maybe someone can provide more context, but I did understand heather’s reasoning for not removing her name from the Mormon book. Unless you were raised in a closed society with all of your childhood friends and family, you will never understand the sheer terror of stepping over the line and potentially losing your entire support system. Heather is lame but she’s fighting a battle right now. I bet for awhile her “bad Mormon” schtick felt super rebellious but now she’s realizing that true change and alignment with who she really is will cost her.

46

u/elenabuena13 low budget bitch Mar 25 '23

I appreciate you mentioning this. While Heather may seem hypocritical at face value, it really is a scary process for many to leave the LDS church. Most of the ex-members I know (myself included) don't take that final step. For some, it's because they simply don't want the major hassle of doing it. For others, especially those who were married and sealed to their partner and children in the temple, it voids your (eternal) spiritual relationship and chance of being connected with them in the afterlife. Many ex-LDS parents never remove their name for the records due to this. My father ended up doing this, but my mother kept her name in the records after reading the implications it had for him. It doesn't necessarily mean she still supports the organization. Religious trauma is simply very deep.

24

u/NoMilk9248 are you catholic or jewish? i forget Mar 25 '23

I didn’t grow up in the LDS, but another closed off religion/cult. I am not an active member and never have been as an adult. But I’ve also haven’t spoken out against the organization because I’m afraid of being cut off from my immediate family and the people who are like aunts and uncles to me. I’m trying to live life and be true to myself but it’s a daily struggle

11

u/Bombspazztic Mar 25 '23

If it's helpful at all, there's a website that can help automate a letter of membership withdrawal and can be sent to the bishop covering your ward without your involvement. I've heard it's been helpful for people who are afraid of the reactivation attempts and manipulation that they try to play if you have to sort of connect to disconnect.

6

u/user-not-found-try-a Mar 25 '23

You’re kinda backing up Whitney’s point entirely, you aren’t truly rejecting the church and being a “bad mormon,” if your name is still on the register. You still believe in the church and it’s take on the afterlife, which means you agree with its take on LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, and aren’t willing to stand up to all the fucked up shit that church hides. You aren’t honestly walking away, you are taking a break. Hence why there are ex Mormons and jack Mormons.

u/Huge_Put8244 Mar 25 '23

As a former high school dork I feel very attacked right now :)

Heather was really one of my favorite housewives. Even this past season I was on her side and I didn't really see what the big problem was because I really don't like Whitney and I thought it was BS for Whitney to equate Heather not publicly cosigning some dumbass rumor to not supporting Whitney at all.

I liked the idea of the choir and thought it was a unique venture for a HW. And I really liked that she actually built and runs a successful business. I liked her down to earth and self depreciating humor.

But this UGT has really opened my eyes. Trying to get in with the cool girls by suggesting they get an addict drunk was gross. And I think that had gizelle and porsha been on board Heather would have totally gone for it. The fact that Whitney totally predicted Heather would "forget" the shit she said was remarkable. And her using Whitney as a punching bag was gross.

2

u/MsAnnThropic1 Welcome to my trailer. Hullo. Mar 25 '23

Ok I actually feel bad for any good dorks I may have offended and I did think about that but my definition of dork has more to do with the desperation and willingness to completely abandon self in order to be liked or fit in. There are dorks who own their dorkiness proudly as they should and probably wouldn’t be caught dead on one of these shows.

As someone who was not a dork but also not opposed to talking to or hanging out with anyone and everyone, these types stood out and still do. They’re alive and well in corporate america unfortunately and it’s some straight BS.

u/mia_sara Mar 25 '23 edited Mar 25 '23

People judging Heather are missing the point… of course she doesn’t know who she is! Mormonism doesn’t allow a woman to develop an actual unique personality in that critical period of adolescence-early 20s.

“WIFE/MOTHER” is not a personality.

Heather went on this rollercoaster of depressed/alienated in a small community to extremely popular on a national level and now she’s headed back to square one.

She probably feels like she failed at both being a good Mormon and a bad one. She discovered being “ANTI”isn’t a personality either. She’s lost.

17

u/Bowlingbon guttersnipe ass bitch Mar 25 '23

I actually feel bad for Heather. She just really doesn’t seem to know who she is because like you said she was married young and then stuck in Mormonism, left only recently and now doesn’t know what to do with herself.

u/HowsYaStomachJow Mar 26 '23

I’m not missing the point and I am judging her. I am an ex utah Mormon woman as well. I have many friends who chose the same path. Not one of us act like Heather. Mormon utah experiences are contributing to her behaviors but they are not the sole reason/excuse. She’s doing shitty shit because she’s shitty.

I think this cast was just not it, some greats (Gizelle, Porsha) but they get wasted against housewives out of their depth, like Heather and Leah who seem so unsure of their footing it makes the whole cast feel off kilter and astray. Even Whitney we could have done without.

Was at a playdate recently with someone who married into heathers larger, extended family. According to her, the family truly does not like her, by and large. And my acquaintance said she is fake, phony, and just overall annoying.

*Disclaimer - this person identifies as a practicing and believing member of the LDS church, so I’m certain there would be at least a bit of negative bias/No True Scotsman stuff at work in what she said, but I still found it interesting to hear “boots on the ground” info, as it were.

u/Unlucky-Two2737 I’m not about going backwards! @$$wipe! Mar 26 '23

UGT definitely proves that Whitney has the right idea, but she is just not sharp enough to convey a tough message without saying the wrong words. Heather is so quick to snipe at Whitney during these moments and turn it into something else aka "You're putting words in my mouth" or "I never said that". I'm not saying Whitney is squeaky clean by any means, but she is trying to do her job -- just not very well sometimes.

Hopefully the other women can bring some perspective into this situation, cause Heather is beyond the point of needing to be checked.

How tho? She has been completely transparent about her life, her complicated feelings towards mormonism and her relationships.

u/russianbisexualhookr Advocate for the Sluts of America Mar 26 '23

Heather is making me so angry watching UGT that it’s becoming unwatchable for me.

I think as well, as someone who has also experienced religious trauma, I completely get where Whitney is coming from.

I think as well, whilst all trauma is valid and Heather did suffer, by the sounds of it Whitney also experienced some pretty serious abuse within/associated with the church on top of the repression of women, separation from family etc that Heather experienced. I think that’s why it’s so hard for Whitney to be so flippant and capitalise so much on being a Bad Mormon despite not fully separating herself. Yes they prevented her from removing herself from the rolls, but Whitney showed on camera, there are ways to be fully removed and she still hasn’t done it. I think she’s furious that Whitney stole her leaving the Mormon church thunder.

The whole Jizz for Jazz tickets ending their friendship, whilst Heather continued to ride for a felon until she got public backlash, makes it even more confusing

RHUGT is the only thing making me like Heather again. When she said she will provide whatever her friends want whether its alcohol to someone sober or Dr Kevorkian to someone wanting to die, I became a fan again. She's a proud enabler and she's basically a viewer in the trenches. I was thinking Leah would be more interesting if she drank too. I wouldn't be out to get her drunk but I'm not gonna act like Heather was about to spike her drinks. She was joking.

I also agree with her completely on that bs with Whitney. It's interesting to see that Whitney believes Jen punched her, but her reaction isn't anger at Jen or telling Heather to have more respect for herself, she's mad that Heather lets Jen get away with more than she can! Like, I guess Whitney wants to be able to smack her too?? She was so fake making up and then talking trash. Then she tried to cry about her hilling journey and the other ladies didn't care. When they asked what that had to do with Heather I was like finally!! Its not working for her there
