Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum Jen Shah slammed the series’ shocking season four finale and responded to Heather Gay’s claim Jen gave her a black eye during season three.
Jen Shah did not think The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s season four finale was Shah-mazing.
After all, during the Bravo series’ explosive Jan. 2 episode, Heather Gay finally accused Jen of giving her a black eye the season prior.
“BRAVO, if I punched Heather in her eye, you guys would have footage to prove it,” Jen, who is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for wire fraud and money laundering, wrote on Instagram Jan. 2. “It’s clear the show can’t live without me since I was brought up at the beginning, middle and end of season 4.”
The 50-year-old went on to claim executive producer Andy Cohen “is still butt hurt” she turned down an interview following her legal drama, adding, “Why would you sit down with someone who ‘gave’ another cast member a black eye? Next story.”
Heather’s revelation came to light when the cast confronted season four newbie Monica Garcia, who used to work as Jen’s assistant, of running the social media account Reality Von (Tea)se, which they claimed anonymously bullied them online for years. (
Bravo“We are friends and we have been through this bulls–t before with Jen,” the Bad Mormon author said. “For years, we were afraid. We’d wake up sick that a lie would be posted and told and spread and exposed and exploited, but we were in it with her. And we are the type of girls that ride or die, and each one of us, at different times, rode hard and we shut down feelings of doubt and things that didn’t f–king add up.”
Instagram/@therealjenshahHeather added, “I went on book tour and defended her and took s–t for the fact that she gave me a black eye.”
Even though Monica insisted she only used the account to help take down Jen by exposing her criminal behavior, she was outcast from the group following the shocking drama.
See Monica share her side of the story when The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s season four reunion kicks off Jan. 9 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Adam Olszweski/Bravo150-153. The Real Housewives of D.C.
Bravo’s ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation’s capital brought together four women so forgettable you’d be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney and Stacie Scott Turner—and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

Who?
BRAVO148. Tammy Knickerbocker, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Vaguely familiar, but…
BRAVO147. DeShawn Snow, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.
Yavir Ramawtar/Bravo146. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County
This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.
Chad Kirkland/Bravo145. Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Utah’s newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after “offensive” and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.
BRAVO144. Quinn Fry, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Her defining trait was “cougar.”
Tommy Garcia/Bravo143. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County
The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows’ insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.
142. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but…didn’t do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.
Bravo141. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife…that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.
Bravo140. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?
Tommy Garcia/Bravo139. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County
While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn’t understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn’t really cut out for this Real Housewives life.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo138. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we’ll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.
137. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we’re not sure we’ve ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.
136. Eva Marcille, RHOA
The America’s Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.
Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images for Allied-THA135. Karent Sierra, The Real Housewives of Miami
All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!
Adam Olszweski/Bravo134. Cristy Rice,The Real Housewives of Miami
This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.
Bravo133. Jules Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York City
As one of RHONY‘s more recent one-and-dones, Jules’ tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama.
131-132. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJ
So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.
130. Amber Marchese, RHONJ
Everything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.
Bravo129. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars’ bigger, louder personalities.
Bravo128. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Sara’s positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn’t provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her.
Andrew Eccles/Bravo126-127. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
RHONJ‘s season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. We’d love to see both return for season 14 for a chance to move up even higher on the list after an entertaining first go-around.
Tommy Garcia/Peacock125. Larsa Pippen, The Real Housewives of Miami
Larsa didn’t make a big impression on season one before leaving the series. When Peacock revived RHOM for season four in 2021, her whole storyline was about being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian. (and selling sexy feet pics on OnlyFans…)
Jeff Daly/Bravo124. Ana Quincoces, The Real Housewives of Miami
Ana followed up her one season as a Bravolebrity by competing on season 12 of Next Food Network Star in 2016. She didn’t make it there, either.
Bravo123. Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a punching bag for Brandi Glanville. Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky notion that you can never be too skinny was gross.
BRAVO122. Cindy Barshop, The Real Housewives of New York City
Cindy was supposed to be the new Bethenny Frankel. Cindy was no Bethenny Frankel.
Bravo121. Caroline Brooks, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Brooks’ gift to season one of RHODubai was a cameo from Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks, who popped up on one episode to get all the tea on the co-stars’ drama. However, Brooks did cause a lot of unnecessary drama during season one (much of which occurred while she was a little too tipsy).
Virginia Sherwood/Bravo120. Lisa Wu-Hartwell, RHOA
Lisa was a perfectly fine Housewife, but we don’t want just fine. Not when she’s sharing the screen with the likes of NeNe and Sheree Whitfield.
Tommy Garcia/Peacock119. Julia Lemigova, The Real Housewives of Miami
The first LGBT Housewife ever cast on a Housewives series, Julia is truly fascinating. From being married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova and raising dozens of animals on a Miami farm, to her epic Hamptons hangover, Julia has everything a good Housewife needs. She also didn’t shy away from opening up about the death of her baby son, pulling on our heartstrings and making us feel even closer to her. We love us some Julia.
It was great seeing how much work you put into it. Even though the design is nice and the writing is stylish, you seem to be having trouble with it. I think you should really try sending the next article. I’ll definitely be back for more of the same if you protect this hike.
