Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stars Heather Gay and Jen Shah open up about the first season of the Bravo hit reality series.
Gay teases what viewers can expect from her co-star Jen. “She is electricity,” Heather told The Salt Lake Tribune. “She is charismatic. She is funny. She is sharp. She is volatile. She is passionate. She is crazy. And I love people like that. They’re terrifying, but they’re the most fun.”
As for Jen, she admits that she’s “so excited” being the first Polynesian housewife in Bravo hit reality franchise.
“That’s why I’m so excited. I’m the first Polynesian housewife!” she said. “I told Sharrieff [her husband] if it wasn’t for the coronavirus, we’d be throwing a luau for the whole state of Utah.”
Shah also gets candid as to why she decided to join the series. “That was really the determining factor for me to get involved,” Jen said, “because I felt like I needed to represent that we do have successful minority businesswomen here in Utah.”
Shah hopes “RHOSLC” viewers get to see her “soft side.”
“My family keeps me humble, because they act like — ‘Yeah, this is no big deal,’” she said. Although Sharrieff Jr. told her he was worried that “Real Housewives” would affect his odds of being accepted into medical school.
“I was, like, 'What are you talking about? What do you mean? No! This isn’t ‘Girls Gone Wild,’ this is ‘Real Housewives’!” Jen told The Salt Lake Tribune.
