Viewers were eagerly waiting for the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) season 3 to find out the story behind Heather Gay’s black eye. In the preview, it was implied that she would reveal the mystery in episode 12.
Throughout the episode, Heather kept mentioning her black eye, but if anyone asked what happened, she responded by saying that she didn’t know. She kept walking around the topic. As a result, fans were angry after watching RHOSLC season 3 episode 12 as Heather didn’t tell the story and the episode once again ended on a cliffhanger. One Twitter user wrote:
"Heather saying she doesn't want to talk about her black eye, yet she brings it up in every conversation. Girl just tell the story"
This was the third time that Bravo teased fans by showing her black eye in the preview. But nothing related to the incident was revealed in the episode.
RHOSLC fans slammed Heather for dragging her black eye storyline
In RHOSLC season 3 episode 12, Heather showed her black eye to all the ladies but denied talking about it. She kept making excuses by saying that she didn’t remember or didn’t want to talk about it. However, she didn’t lose a chance to drop the topic in the middle of any conversation.
Viewers were upset that they didn’t find out the truth in episode 12 as well. Fans slammed Heather for dragging her black eye storyline and creating an unnecessary buzz around it.
Fans have also been speculating that Jen Shah hit Heather. Earlier, viewers witnessed their “toxic” friendship and how Heather would go to lengths to save her friendship with Jen.
Hence, fans speculated that Jen might have hurt Heather and the latter was covering it. In fact, the first person Heather called about her black eye was Jen, and asked her to come up with a cover story.
Jen gave a list of reasons, from spiders laying eggs on eyeballs to peanut allergies. The two then decided that the cover story would be Heather didn’t know or remember.
However, at the end of episode 12, the producer asked Heather whether she really didn’t remember what had happened. The RHOSLC star replied:
“I didn’t say that. I didn’t ever say that. I didn’t say I don’t remember how it happened. I just said I am not talking about it. It’s the first rule of the fight club.”
Why didn’t Heather want to reveal the truth?
While telling Jen Shah and Meredith Marks about the black eye, Heather Gay kept on saying that she didn’t want anyone to get in trouble.
Heather told Jen:
“I don’t wanna get anyone in trouble, Jen. That’s why I need you to like help me figure out if someone wants to talk about what really happened last night. We need a cover story, that’s what I am saying right now.”
When Jen left, Meredith asked Heather again what happened. The latter implied that she knew the answer but didn’t want to talk about it. She kept mentioning her eye to the ladies, but when they asked about it, she said she didn’t know.
While telling everyone about her condition to the group, Heather said:
“I think we all know what happened. We just don’t want to talk about it.”
Heather implied that she wanted the person to come forward and tell the story as she would not. Towards the end of episode 12 of RHOSLC season 3, Heather told the ladies that if someone knocked on their door at midnight, they should not open it. Then the show ended on a cliffhanger.
RHOSLC season 3 will now return next year on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, on Bravo at 8 pm ET.
