An avalanche of drama.
During a recent interview on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Meredith Marks claimed that Heather Gay made fun of Bronwyn Newport on the cast trip to Greece for revealing she kissed a woman.
But Gay, 51, exclusively told The Post that Marks, 54, is lying.
“I never would make fun of Bronwyn for kissing a girl,” Gay said while promoting her partnership with Atkins. “I’m a huge advocate and ally to the gay community. But also, Bronwyn was laughing and joking with Mary [Cosby] and Meredith and then skipping up to Meredith’s room, and we saw the exchange of texts.”
“Also,” Gay added, “she was rooming with Angie [Katsanevas] and never once mentioned heartbreak over kissing a girl to Angie. And so I think that was a lie that Meredith told as a deflection for why she really called Bronwyn into a room, which was to pump her for information.”
The “Bad Mormon” author reiterated that Marks is making up the alleged conversation.
“You got caught. Housewife tradecraft 101. Bronwyn sold you out. You thought she would keep your secrets — she didn’t,” Gay said. “Don’t try to touch me with the stain that you got caught in. And I would never make fun of anyone for kissing a girl. And if Bronwyn was upset she would’ve told me to my face. She wouldn’t have confided in Meredith.”
Gay also claimed that this situation “didn’t come up once” at the Season 6 reunion, which filmed in December.
“Meredith is making that up. That’s an armchair quarterback move,” the Bravo star stated. “She got nailed at the reunion, so now she’s doing press coming up with lies. Good luck.”
On “Two Ts in a Pod,” Marks alleged that during an off-camera conversation in Greece, Newport, 40, vented about Gay.
“[Bronwyn] was very upset. She came down. You know, I guess she had Heather making fun of her that she was a lesbian after she had said she made out with a woman or whatever,” Marks said. “I wasn’t there for that part when they had that conversation, so I was not in tune with it.”
“She was kind of like really breaking down, very upset, very nervous about reunion and didn’t like that she was being weaponized for having kissed a girl — which I agree with,” Marks continued. “That’s wrong. You don’t do that. And I felt horrible. And I said to her, ‘I haven’t heard any of this.’ If the jokes were made, I didn’t get them because I wasn’t there for the conversation. So I said, ‘I’m glad you told me, you know, you have my support. That’s wrong. We don’t do that.’”
Despite Marks falling out with most of the cast, Gay told The Post she thinks the DJ still has a place on the show.
“Fighting has never determined our future on this group. The more fighting, the better,” Gay noted. “So probably more than ever.”
But Gay can’t say the same for her former co-star Jen Shah, who she hasn’t seen since Shah was released from prison on Dec. 10 after serving nearly 3 years behind bars for her role in a long-running nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme.
“I think she’s on house arrest. I heard she can’t leave her house,” Gay told The Post. “That’s what the newspaper said. She’s ankle monitored up. She can’t leave. So we’re not gonna run into her at the grocery store.”
“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” airs Tuesdays (8 PM ET) on Bravo.
