Find Out What a Fan Said to Make Heather Gay Cry at BravoCon 2022

From her candid vulnerability to her love of meats on a stick, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Heather Gay is unmatched in her relatability factor. That couldn't have been clearer than it was on Day 2 of BravoCon 2022 in New York City.

In the final moments of the "SLC in the NYC" panel on Saturday, October 15, a fan stepped to the mic and began heaping on the praise. "I think the reason that we all love you so much is that we all kind of see a little piece of ourselves in you," the resident of Queens, New York, gushed. Also describing Heather as someone who is "otherworldly" and "like a fairy," the BravoCon 2022 attendee asked for the source of her power.

That's when the touched RHOSLC cast member's tears started flowing, as the audience erupted in applause. Heather was so moved, in fact, that she didn't have a chance to answer the question before time ran out, and moderator Karamo Brown had to wrap the Q&A session.

Actually, the love fest had already begun much earlier in the panel discussion when Heather gave the panel's attendees an update on her love life and current dating situation. When Karamo asked about the cast's progression from Season 1 to the current third seasons of RHOSLC, the Bad Mormon author had her answer at the ready.

"I thought I'd have more of a glow-up, to be honest," Heather joked. "A glow-up and a boyfriend by now, but maybe if I go another season, that'll happen. We'll see."

Further pressed about how dating was going, she replied, "It's going.... There's no one sitting on the couch next to me, so there's your answer."

Before moving on, however, she got in one more classic Heather relatability when she joked that she would convert if she met a "nice Jewish boy," since she is so "easily persuaded."
