Jen Shah Slams Andy Cohen for Heather Gay’s Black Eye Revelation on 'RHOSLC': 'The Show Can't Live Without Me'

Jen Shah is pushing back against The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay's accusations that she was the one who gave her the infamous black eye back in season 3, and is also criticizing Bravo for not providing evidence of the alleged attack. In a statement shared on her Instagram Story from prison late Tuesday, Shah addressed Bravo directly, saying, "BRAVO, if I punched Heather in her eye, you guys would have footage to prove it.

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 former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star also took aim at Andy Cohen, accusing him of being "butthurt" because she declined a one on one interview following her fraud conviction.

She questioned the logic of sitting down with someone accused of causing harm to another cast member, dismissing it with a curt, "Next story." During the season 4 finale of RHOSLC , 49 year old Gay revealed that she had lied to protect Shah, concealing the fact that her co star allegedly caused her injury.

Gay recounted the challenges she faced defending Shah and enduring criticism on a book tour. She expressed the feeling that she had to lie to shield Shah, stating, "I did whatever it took. I went on a book tour and defended her and took st for the fact that she gave me a black eye." Monica Garcia, a newcomer to the reality show, responded dismissively to Gay's revelation, saying, "I'm glad you finally told the truth for once.

So, good for you," before leaving at Gay’s request. Currently serving more than five years at Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas for her role in a telemarketing scheme targeting the elderly, Shah is scheduled for release on Aug. 30, 2028. Despite her circumstances, she has managed to make the most of her time in prison, forming a friendship with fellow fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and collaborating on a play titled The Real Housewives of Bryan with fellow inmates.
