Jen Shah may preach all about loyalty and friendship, but when its time to display those qualities, the housewife falters miserably. After throwing her close friend Meredith Marks under the bus by gossiping about her marriage, Jen is out to get her only remaining friend on the show — Heather Gay. While all the other housewives turned their backs on her after getting tired of her constant temper tantrums, Heather still decided to be nice to Jen and give her a chance. 

Heather felt that while Jen did possess certain undesirable and toxic traits, she also had plenty of redeeming qualities and wanted to be a good friend to her. Although the other housewives, especially Lisa Barlow, tried to warn Heather against continuing to be friends with Jen, the housewife refused to hear them out and decided to remain Jen's friend. Unfortunately, that decision didn't work out too well for Heather.

The following day the housewives were attending a hypnosis and healing session. During the session, when the facilitator asked the ladies who all had trouble trusting Jen, all of them unanimously raised their hands. This upset Jen considerably, she felt hurt by Meredith and Heather's response the most.

Jen felt that she had been nothing but a great friend to those women and watching them reveal that they couldn't trust her hurt her a lot. So, when the facilitator asked who had a hard time trusting Heather, Jen was the only one who raised her hand.

Heather was shocked and hurt on seeing Jen raise her hand as she felt that she too was nothing but a good friend to her. In her green room interview, Heather pointed out how she always had Jen's back and supported her despite all her flaws. Fans were seething with fury on seeing Jen disrespect Heather like that and called out the housewife.

Many fans felt that Heather's kindness and loyalty were wasted on Jen and she deserved someone better as a friend. A fan tweeted, "Jen had the audacity to raise her hand?!?! Heather, she does not deserve your friendship #RHOSLC your heart and kindness are too rare to have this darkness take."

Another fan wrote, "Heather Gay deserves a better friend than Jen Shah, in time she’ll see it for herself. #RHOSLC." "Heather needs to see herself out of this abusive relationship she’s got going on with Jen #RHOSLC," pointed a fan.



 



 



 

A fan expressed, "I hope Heather doesnt continue to support Jen now that Jen says she doesn't trust her. The utter nerve of her is astonishing. #RHOSLC." "Heather. It’s time to cut Jen out... it’s time... her true colors are showing and maybe you can finally see them #RHOSLC," echoed a fan.

"@heathergay29 is a good friend, look at what jen has done to her, she put her hands on her, and flipped on her, and yet she is still here talking with jen, trying to console her. Heather doesn't deserve to be treated terribly by jen. #RHOSLC," shared a fan.
