Heather Gay Shifts Her Stance, Accuses Bronwyn Newport of Betraying Her Husband – All About The Real Housewives

17

Heather Gay has changed her tone. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star is calling out Bronwyn for betraying her marriage on the latest Bravo After Show. During Season 5, Episode 14, Bronwyn Newport revealed her husband Todd Bradley’s past infidelity, and the cast didn’t hold back in sharing their reactions. What started as a moment of vulnerability quickly spiraled into a tense conversation, with Heather, Lisa Barlow, and others questioning whether Bronwyn’s decision to open up was a wise one.

The conversation started with a producer noting how Bronwyn “opens up about her marriage,” but the cast wasn’t exactly impressed by what they heard. Heather Gay, known for her candidness, was quick to share her thoughts. “Open up about her marriage? Don’t you mean throws Todd under the bus?” Heather asked. “I mean, I did not see that coming. I did not see Bronwyn kind of betraying her marriage and betraying Todd in that way. ‘Cause all I’d ever seen and heard from her… she kind of perpetuates this love affair story, you know, of their marriage.”

Heather’s discomfort was evident as she continued, saying, “I just kept wanting to cover her mouth and be like, ‘Don’t say this about your husband if you want to go home with him tonight.’” Clearly, Heather felt Bronwyn’s vulnerability went too far and could have dire consequences for her marriage.

Lisa Barlow shared a similar sentiment, expressing concern for Bronwyn’s decision to air such personal details in front of a group of women who barely knew her husband. “A part of me was like, I wouldn’t share this with a group of girls I’m getting to know because they don’t know Todd, and you’re subjecting him to judgment from a lot of people,” Lisa explained. “Don’t say things you want to forget that everyone else will remember.”

Despite the reservations of her co-stars, Angie Katsanevas was more sympathetic, acknowledging that Bronwyn’s revelation was a rare moment of vulnerability. “It was kind of the first time I saw Bronwyn being vulnerable and real. And she cried. That was the first time that I thought, ‘You know what? This is the Bronwyn that I like,’” Angie remarked.

However, the situation took another turn when Lisa expressed concerns about how Bronwyn’s confession could impact Todd’s professional life. Lisa explained, “For me, I absorbed it, and I was also cognizant of Todd in this moment, too. Like, he has a new fund coming out. He has business associates, he’s on the board of things. So, for me, I’m like, they always say, ‘Watch how a man treats his wife and you know how he’ll be in business.’ This could impact him in another way, and it’s not something she’s sharing with Todd. It’s something she’s sharing with the world.”

While Heather initially felt sympathy for Bronwyn, her feelings shifted after seeing how Bronwyn handled the fallout from her confession. “I just felt total compassion and sympathy for her,” Heather admitted. “But then, to see her kind of posting about how Todd’s the love of her life the next day and then being critical of [Meredith Marks] and Lisa in the way [they] responded to her confession, the pendulum spun back again. Like, I just feel suspicious of her.”

In response to the criticism, Bronwyn herself felt hurt by how her revelation was received, particularly by Lisa. “For Lisa to question what I’m sharing when I’m being my most vulnerable, when I’m trying to be as honest as possible, that was truly devastating for me,” Bronwyn shared emotionally. She also expressed frustration with the way her words seemed to have been twisted, which only made things more complicated. “It puts a negative connotation on the way I’m acting,” she said. “It makes you guys, who don’t know me as well as [Lisa], uneasy.”
