Fans Think Heather is Trying to Protect Jen

Heather has remained a loyal friend to Jen amid her legal woes and has argued to defend Jen's honor. But when considering Jen's violent and erratic behavior on and off the show, fans are starting to think Jen might be the one who gave Heather her black eye. For example, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fan Club Penguinstan took to Twitter to post a Scooby-Doo meme that jokingly accused Jen of being behind Heather's black eye.

Many other fans explained why they think Jen is the guilty culprit. "Jen's initial reaction to seeing Heather's eye was very telling," one viewer said. "IF anyone hit Heather...[she] would cover for her partner in crime, Jen!!" one fan quipped. Another viewer explained why they think Heather might be covering for Jen, saying, "Jen would be fired. Cause you know, fraud isn’t bad enough."

Jen Has A History of Being Violent

Jen has gotten violent with her verbal rants against the cast and crew. Jen has shouted, screamed, tossed items, and stormed out all in the name of defending whatever she's upset over. Outside the show, Jen has been put on blast by former employees who revealed her violent outbursts at her Shah Squad staff. In leaked audio, Jen could be heard berating her team and even threatening to physically assault them. Jen hasn't done a great job at hiding the aggression she can so easily spew out.

If anyone in the cast is guilty of giving Heather a black eye and scratching up her body, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fans think it's Jen. She doesn't have the best track record when it comes to controlling her anger. Whoever blacked Heather's eye like that must've been extremely upset about something. Jen has already backed out of the season 3 reunion due to her fraud case. Viewers might not find out who is behind Heather's black eye until the reunion. Jen's absence might work in her favor if she happens to be the guilty culprit.
