Summary
- Heather Gay expresses support and love for the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
- She sees parallels between their journeys and her own experiences.
- Gay's docuseries 'Surviving Mormonism' explores former members' experiences.
Heather Gay, a prominent figure from 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,' has voiced her strong support for the cast of the Hulu series 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.' She acknowledges having mostly parasocial relationships with the women online but feels a deep connection, stating, "I love them. I champion them." Gay relates to their struggles with marriage, motherhood, and fame within Utah's bubble.
Gay, who left the LDS church upon her divorce and starred in RHOSLC, believes the 'Secret Lives' cast will evolve as they gain independent thought and income, much like she did. She is keen to observe their spiritual and personal journeys. While a reunion hosting gig for the series would require network approval, Gay expressed eagerness.
Her recent docuseries, 'Surviving Mormonism,' premiered on November 11. The series features interviews with former Mormons discussing difficult aspects of the church, including alleged abuse and controversial practices. Gay emphasizes the show's focus on honoring survivors' stories rather than attacking the church itself, aiming to provide a platform for voices often unheard.
