Someone who claims to be the niece of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jennie Nguyen exposed the reality star in a major way in a viral TikTok video. Jennie joined RHOSLC as a new housewife on season 2 with a humble backstory. The rookie TV star shared with viewers that she got out of Vietnam "on a boat" before surviving capture by Thai pirates and living in a refugee camp. Jennie's rags-to-riches story was praised by many RHOSLC fans who also admire her "firecracker" personality. Series newbie Jennie hasn't made too big of a splash so far in her freshman season, as her storyline on RHOSLC season 2 centers mostly on her marital strife.

Viewers saw Jennie and her husband Duy Tran encounter a major snag in their relationship when they struggled over the issue of having more children. Jennie revealed she suffered infant loss and several miscarriages in the past and wasn't up for the challenge of pregnancy again. Fans were shocked when Duy proposed the couple welcome a "sister wife" into their marriage to appease his desire for more kids. Duy's shocking proposal quickly grabbed headlines after the episode aired and RHOSLC fans rallied in support of Jennie who was hurt by the proposition. The buzz about Jennie and Duy's marriage drama has led someone who says they are Jennie's family to come forward with some scathing comments.

A TikTok user named Tiff shared in a video that she had "some tea" about a housewife who has been getting attention recently. She didn't call out Jennie by name, but captioned her video "#rhoslc" and described the star's sister wife drama with her husband. Tiff claimed Duy's desire for more kids doesn't "make sense" because he "didn't take care of his kids when they were little." How does Tiff know this alleged information about Jennie? "I know this because she's my aunt," Tiff claimed.

The TikToker said Jennie is "milking" the "crazy, 'I-came-from-nothing' storyline'" and alleged Jennie's backstory is false. "These people are so disgusting they're willing to do anything for money," Tiff said. The TikTok user said Jennie used to stay with her family a lot. "My parents helped her so much," Tiff said, "helped her in any way they can; looked after her kids, etc." Tiff claimed Jennie threatened to sue her parents and "throw them in jail" so that Jennie and Duy could "get some money."

Jennie has not confirmed nor denied claims in the TikTok video, so fans won't know if the negative things said about the new housewife carry any weight. The claims certainly spice up Jennie's mostly sympathetic image as a show newcomer. Jennie's interactions with the other Salt Lake City ladies also appear to be heating up in future episodes when Jennie's feud with Mary Cosby begins in a screaming match. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fans will have to watch Jennie's story unfold to see if she's as shady as the viral TikTok claims.
