Not so long ago, Heather Gay was a middle-aged mother of three, struggling to reclaim her sense of self. She'd spent most of her adult life embodying the Molly Mormon stereotype a devoted wife, mother and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Then Bravo came calling. Gay was cast in The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which premiered in 2020 and distinguished itself by looking at how the women in the cast were influenced by organized religion, particularly the LDS church.
It's the most important work I've ever done, she says, perched at the bar of a hotel in midtown Manhattan. Gay is in town for a watch party for Season 5 of RHOSLC.
Housewives' rescued me. It gave me a second lease on life. It scooped me up and pulled me out of the church, pulled me into financial independence and fame.
