Heather Gay delves straight into drama on RHUGT season 3

Season 3 of RHUGT saw the ladies enjoying their trip in Thailand. While some members chose to create memories, others, including Gizelle Bryant and Heather Gay, were engrossed in the drama. The latter got a lot of heat from viewers for her behavior throughout the three episodes.

The RHOSLC star knew that Leah had written a book sharing her addiction and sobriety journey, called Chaos Theory: Finding Meaning in the Madness, One Bad Decision at a Time. However, Heather chose to reach out to her fellow RHUGT cast members and encouraged them to have Leah drunk.

However, Gizelle managed to throw the RHOSLC housewife under the bus. In a conversation with Leah, the RHOP star told Leah:

"Right before we got here, Heather was like "Let's get Leah to drink.""

To manage the awkwardness between her and Leah, the Beauty Lab Laser owner responded and said:

"I didn't know it would ruin your life. I thought, you would just wanna, like, throw it down."

Fellow RHUGT cast members also tried questioning Heather about her relationship with former RHOSLC castmate Jen Shah. She was shocked at all the constant questioning but maintained that she "showed up" for her friend but never supported her actions.

The Bad Mormon author also proceeded to call her cousin and fellow RHUGT cast member Whitney "thirsty" and "disgusting." She also explained how Whitney was trying to do everything in her power to please Gizelle.
