The favored Bravo fan account @yolanda_parody wrote in a current tweet, “Heather Homosexual would in all probability take the substance.” For the uninitiated, the put up refers back to the body-horror movie The Substance, starring Demi Moore as an aerobics teacher who injects herself with an elixir that won’t simply make her seem younger, however change into youthful—within the type of Margaret Qualley. It’s a joke, in fact, and it’s definitely not a praise.
Actual Housewives like Salt Lake Metropolis standout Homosexual signal onto the franchise understanding full effectively they’ll be sharing their lives. Their personalities and habits—for higher and, extra typically, for worse—change into our leisure. However ought to their bodily appearances be fodder as effectively? Digs just like the @yolanda_parody put up are on the tame facet; these ladies obtain the complete spectrum of insults about their appears to be like. They’ve been known as names like Shrek and Miss Piggy—on digital camera! by their costars!—so you possibly can solely think about what’s been hurled at them from behind the safety of DMs.
Look, I’m not right here to be all, like, uncool and monitor your group chats. To start with, doing so would make me a large hypocrite. The second-season glow-up is actual, and I’m not a adequate actor to faux to not discover. However I’m right here to say that I feel we—as a fandom, an viewers, and a tradition—have to cease searching for bodily perfection from ladies, then anticipating them to put out each element of the alternatives they make with a purpose to attain that normal.
Like many Housewives earlier than her, Homosexual made some modifications to her look between seasons. She informed Folks she was “on the Ozempic prepare” and returned in season 5, airing now, with a brand new, thinner look. However Homosexual’s honesty solely went to date with followers, who suspected she did greater than merely lose just a few kilos. They began theorizing what else she might or might not have performed to her face and physique that she wasn’t saying out loud (therefore The Substance put up).
Homosexual has traditionally been open concerning the instruments she’s used to bodily morph herself to suit a sure picture. “I get Botox, filler in my lips. I get Sculptra, which is sort of a collagen stimulator,” she informed Web page Six in 2022. A self-proclaimed “dangerous Mormon,” she co-owns a Utah med-spa, Magnificence Lab + Laser, serving locals who search one factor: perfection. “The Mormon tradition believes that we will be excellent. Perfection is obtainable,” she proclaims within the very first episode of RHOSLC. Mormonism could also be an alleged driving drive for the women of Salt Lake, however youth and wonder is the last word objective for the ‘wives throughout cities.
