RHOSLC season 3 episode 11: Why are fans upset with Bravo for Heather Gay’s black eye storyline?

Bravo has been teasing Heather Gay’s black eye plot since the RHOSLC mid-season trailer. Unsurprisingly, fans are now upset as the show didn’t feature the full segment even after mentioning it in the season 3 episode 11 preview.

The latest episode had a runtime of around 1.5 hours, but Bravo didn’t reveal the reason behind the black eye despite teasing it for over two weeks. Viewers were disappointed as episode 11 ended on a cliffhanger, and now they have to wait another week to find out the reason.

Fans claim they would be frustrated if the cause turned out to be an accident.

In RHOSLC season 3 episode 11, the episode ended with Heather texting Meredith Marks to come to her room. As the latter entered, she saw Jen Shah looking worried while Heather was sitting with black sunglasses.

When Meredith asked what happened, Heather removed the sunglasses, revealing a black eye and some marks on her arm.

Fans assume Heather hurt herself by falling down

While some fans were shocked to see Heather Gay’s mysterious black eye, others claimed the producers were messing with them.

Some also assumed that Heather might have hurt herself by falling down as she was pretty drunk before entering her room. A few also guessed that she might have been attacked.

Take a look at fans’ reactions here:

The night Heather got the black eye, she was super drunk and had asked Jen Shah to come and sleep in her room before she went to bed. Around 4.50 am ET, a scene from RHOSLC season 3 episode 4 featured someone knocking at Heather’s door.

The following day, Heather texted Meredith, asking her to come to her room immediately. When she entered Heather’s room, Jen asked Meredith to sit down.

Heather was sitting opposite Meredith, wearing black sunglasses. Seeing Jen and Heather worried, Meredith mentioned that they were scaring her.

Heather then removed her sunglasses, showing her black eye to Meredith, which shocked the latter. The show will now reveal the reason in next week’s episode.
