The favored Bravo fan account @yolanda_parody wrote in a recent tweet, “Heather Homosexual would most likely take the substance.” For the uninitiated, the submit 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, after all, and it’s actually 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 submit are on the tame facet; these girls obtain the total spectrum of insults about their appears. They’ve been referred to as names like Shrek and Miss Piggy—on digicam! by their costars!—so you may 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. Initially, doing so would make me an enormous hypocrite. The second-season glow-up is actual, and I’m not a ok actor to faux to not discover. However I’m right here to say that I believe we—as a fandom, an viewers, and a tradition—must cease looking for bodily perfection from girls, then anticipating them to put out each element of the alternatives they make to be able 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 train” and returned in season 5, airing now, with a brand new, thinner look. However Homosexual’s honesty solely went thus far with followers, who suspected she did greater than merely lose a number of kilos. They started theorizing what else she could or could not have achieved to her face and physique that she wasn’t saying out loud (therefore The Substance submit).
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 told Page Six in 2022. A self-proclaimed “dangerous Mormon,” she co-owns a Utah med-spa, Beauty Lab + Laser, serving locals who search one factor: perfection. “The Mormon tradition believes that we might be good. Perfection is obtainable,” she proclaims within the very first episode of RHOSLC. Mormonism could also be an alleged driving pressure for the women of Salt Lake, however youth and sweetness is the final word aim for the ‘wives throughout cities.
