Heather Gay was booed at Bravo Fan Fest on October 28, 2026, when asked about her black eye. Meredith Marks, speaking on Virtual Reali-Tea, says she does not understand why Gay keeps giving different answers over several years. Jen Shah has since posted a response saying it is finally time to talk about the black eye and that she has things to clear up. Gay has not addressed the booing or the shifting accounts.
