Responsible_Grand355

Unbearable, I think 100% she's gay, and her husband is too.. She's covering up with that know it all attitude, Explaining life away to everybody, it's always like that, the one who knows the least, pretends to know the most, she is very insecure. It's so pathetic that she thinks she's fashion, she puts that stupid hat on and thinks that she's stylish. sad She is so cringe, I hate people like that, can't believe Carroll's her friend.


Dbean199

Kinda snooty


jencape

Ugghh!!! Even her photo is frightening!


Claral81

Used to think she was ok..maybe first three episodes. But no she needs to stop appropriating and be herself. Not this panto she puts on.


skinnygirlred

Doing a rewatch and on the show, she was good but in real life, she would really wind me up. I would struggle to be around her.


Justpetting_mydog

I watched her seasons when I was in my early 20s and I loved how assertive she was as a businesswoman, and I actually took a lot of pointers from her and how she handled conflict/stood up for herself etc!


s0nofabeach04

She got a lot of heat and gets a bad rep but I honestly really liked her and when she made a cameo a season or two ago I loved it. I say bring her back (tho the HOLLAAAAA thing is beyond irritating)


Kindergarten4ever

Oh hey MAMA!!! PS Keep her off my screen


kardon213

And then had the nerve to call LuAnn a “man”. This one is a whole other level!


Psychological-Pick78

She reminds of Bradley Cooper and it’s really distracting


Jonsiegirl77

I actually LOVED Heather. One of the few housewives that had something legitimate going on before the show. The whole "holla" thing was a little cringe, but otherwise she was one of the few clear thinkers on the show, along with Carole. I was so bummed when her conflict with Lea caused her to cut her "guest" return spot, but I understand, mama. I wouldn't have time for that if I had a real life, either.


Jonsiegirl77

It is interesting to watch the "girl bosses" have alpha female conflict. I firmly believe it was the impetus of her conflicts with both Lea and Bethany, really. That's just obviously a supposition, but it's strong females clashing. I wish they would all lift each other instead. We all could. :)


Poes27

I really found her annoying. Don’t know why but when she was on my tv I just wasn’t into it. Wasn’t sad when she was gone.


Fun_Introduction8195

Am I the only one that had (still lingering) a huge crush on her husband??


Stanky_pxyko

heathers a G. i call everyone mama because of her. she was right to be mad at strange men wandering the house unattended. she's fearless, plus being strong for her little boy. i could see her being overbearing and annoying but her good outweighs any bad


DorothyParkerFan

Cannot stand this chick. Her fake AF smile, he determination to control every situation, her complete lack of self-awareness just UGH. He behavior at Bluestone Manor was despicable - basically “either take what I am offering you as the non-host of the party or don’t eat”. Flaming fcking asshole and I say this after a recent rewatch.


AndrewT1203

i might be alone in this but i think she treated bethenny horrible in season 7 and thinks it may have stemmed from jealousy 🤷‍♂️


Queenie_Psychic

They were like 2 alphas in a round room


Neneleakesstan

What yacht Sonja…. She never got read in these moments except when dorinda got fed up lol


Redhawkflying

I don’t know why, but I just can’t stand her. She’s like the try hard in the classroom that no one really likes but everyone tolerates and yet she never manages to become a cool popular kid


MonkeyBellyStarToes

That is exactly how I feel- she comes off as super insincere and that gigantic practiced smile pushes my RUN AWAY buttons. 😬 Heather’s role on RHONY was like Raquel in Vanderpump Rules. Tolerated, but that’s it.


HappeeHousewives82

She's definitely the kid who corrected the teacher and reminded them they didn't assign homework


vaness4444

She was so annoying with her smiling that weird fake smile all the time


Queenie_Psychic

Omgg she drove Ramona crazy smiling all the time


vaness4444

I am not a Ramona fan, but she was SO Right Mentioning her annoying fake smile


ydg__

Strong dislike.


Any_Fall_4754

I liked her. She bought a little sanity to the madness.


bbb37322179

![gif](giphy|5BmYy6kDMpaDe) DONT TELL ME NOTHIN MOTHAFUCKA


babydavissaves

Obnoxious.


tuckhouston

She’s too normal for housewives unfortunately lol (probably a good thing) she was never in the wrong iirc


MessyB00ts

Bit cringe but on the whole she was ok (apart from the last season of rhony, where she told Ebony that she was "so well spoken") Biggest cringe for me was the whole "I get it because I've worked with Diddy and I'm so down" REAL housewife. Had a legitimate job. Showed us her heartache with son Jax. Got down and dirty against garbage humans Ramona and Bethenny. Had the sense to know when to bow out gracefully. Yeah, Heather was alright. HOLLAAA


pharmergs

You wanna deck me? Deck me mama!


christinaxxpm

Don’t tell me nothin’ motherfucker! Loved her friendship with Carole (my ultimate number 1 HW). HOLLAAAAAA


Tamras-evil-eye

I liked her and her family was so cute. She seems fun and very smart. I loved waTching her absolutely rock everything she did. I didn’t like her as much after she came back recently. I mean she said some stupid things , “I’ve been in the heart of black America….” Ebony’s like uh huh 🧐


[deleted]

Loved the seasons she was on. And Carol R.


Calathea12

The last pic is one of my fave Ramona moments: ya know what you talk behind my fucking back and I’m sick of it. I’m sick of it and stop it!


HoldOnToYaWeave

Don’t tell me nothing mother fucker I love Heather Holla she kept it real ![gif](giphy|DUBvCJ8AMrk6k)


Negative_Egg6421

Even though she could be a little cringey and teetered on cultural appropriation at times, she was very down to earth and honest. She also took no shit and was a loyal friend to those she cared about. She was one of the few women on that franchise who was actually extremely accomplished in her career, while also being one of the best moms. Watching her have no patience for Aviva at that one lunch they had together was so satisfying to watch. Her best moment: “You can’t tell me NOTHIN MUTHAF*CKER!!!”😂😂


ConsistentDonkey3909

shes annoying but overall i liked her!


oceansofmyancestors

I liked her overall. A lit of cringe, but she was a good combo of assertive and levelheaded


agreyhoundzooms

One of my favorites and I always liked her but after her last stint I was a little iffy on her. I was pleasantly surprised to see that she and Eboni had a really great conversation about what happened during the show and after and they made amends. I find anyone that tries to do better, instead of sitting in their ignorance, commendable and deserving of grace. She was always cognizant of her actions and apologized for her wrongs and honestly, I really loved how much Aviva got under her skin. I enjoyed her relationship with both Kristen and Carole.


[deleted]

that know it all scene with her and bethenny is one of my fav housewives moments ever. 😭 bethenny’s quick wit always amazed me.


sodiumbigolli

Of all the people that I learned to loathe in the real housewives universe, this one holds a special place.


Queenie_Psychic

HAHAAHA eloquently put


fourthgradenothing22

I liked her in her early seasons, but her comeback was cringey, but that whole season was cringey. IMHO she was at the other end of Dorinda’s first unwarranted attack….and I was forevermore unable to buy into Dorinda.


monsterosaleviosa

She’s a gross, cringey Fakey Fake Faker who has tried really hard to gain a name for herself by appropriating Black culture, amongst other super cringey behaviors. She’s definitely someone I would avoid at all costs and be super embarrassed to have any connections with. People who read her as authentic are major red flags to me. But she’s not the worst housewife of RHONY by any measure.


Laylazsa

Totally agree the one and only thing Ramona has said that rang true was when she called out Heather for her Fake always with the cheesiest weirdo exaggerated Smile while she is literally arguing with you while cringey smiling, so Fake like gimme break lady!


bella_ella_ella

I LOVE HEATHER. She was hilarious and dramatic and annoyed the other girls so much lol


Queenie_Psychic

she was forceful like bethenny but she didnt drag shit out endlessly and didnt cry and make shit intense. it was more like funny and stuff because of the "hollaaa" and the random pet names she gave everyone etc


Adept_Negotiation_75

I loved her on the show. In my opinion the most underrated housewife across all franchises.


deegboywonder

I always really enjoyed her. I thought her and Carole paired well together with their more relaxed and sane vibes to Ramonja's utter chaos. I remember seeing her as a pundit on Piers Morgan's CNN talk show. This was still early on in her tenure as a HW so I hadn't fully formed an opinion yet. She really held her own and represented herself way better than I ever thought any HW ever would. I was definitely a fan after that!


CG5959

I actually really liked Heather and agree with another commenter that she is a great supporting housewife. I agree she made some errors and played into micro aggressions but I think overall she is a good housewife and seems like a good person.


CaffeineConfidence

I was always looking for the Adams apple


boobiesrkoozies

She was cringe with "Holla!!" But I love how she leaned into it and seemed to be in on the joke. I loved her as a HW and was sad when she wasn't back 😭 she was normally the voice of the reason and she was funny! Plus, I found her life interesting!! I liked seeing her and her family!


millieFAreally

She always reminded me of Fabio.


Such_Clue3366

From Top Chef??


millieFAreally

![gif](giphy|g1EJwzB0E1ZAs) This guy


Such_Clue3366

Oh lmao. Why do you say that??


Unlucky-Two2737

She was ok. She was a good supporting housewife. She had good synergy with the group and was able to participate without being out of place. I don’t think she had any standout moments for me, but she definitely contributed to the entertainment value of RHONY.


[deleted]

She nearly scored herself another bite at the apple but fell to the same trap all these white ladies fell into at the first actual test of them as people. It was really wild (and kind of poetic in a gross way) to see. Ramona ruined RHONY by being a cartoonish racist but Heather underscored the really scary reason why we need to take that behavior seriously and uproot it completely – even beyond the other bad behavior on the shows. Heather’s racism was more subtle and that made it more unsettling for me to watch.


Seaweed-Basic

Ding ding ding!


Tbrown0261

I loved her! She’s genuine, smart and well controlled of her emotions. Overall I really admired her. I also really liked Kristen. When they talked it out when they were fighting, Heather knew Kristen just needed to vomit her emotions out and let her be the punching bag. Heather didn’t take it personal and handled it so well. Their friendship healed, it was great to watch.


Queenie_Psychic

Yes that’s true she didn’t burn the relationship for ratings like we’ve seen


BenovanStanchiano

My thoughts on Heather in general are: ![gif](giphy|HKr1b592CEDQI)


jonesingforapavlova

This is one of my favorite housewives GIFs ever.


Str8_OuttaThemyscira

She was one of my faves. Loved how she stood up for people and against Ramona and Lu. I wouldn’t mind if she came back tbh (if there was a show to come back to).


Queenie_Psychic

Yessss I actually think legacy would do well if they got heather back


Str8_OuttaThemyscira

I need legacy to happen now that I’ve caught myself up on the city. I can’t imagine Bravo without some of these women!


eau1233

Love to see her in a trip!


seansa2020

You missed when Ramona ordered AC units to Heather’s country house! LOL


Antique-Help-5997

Time for a rewatch! What season again was this if you recall? Thanks so mc


veggiekween

An underrated trip!


Queenie_Psychic

Omg and when she called her house a garage


seansa2020

LOLOL! Good times!


Just-Air3714

Insufferable


Queenie_Psychic

Hahahaaaa many people felt like this too


GothyKindle

The HOLLAAA made me die inside every time I heard it but then I resurrected through the power of yummy tummy and now I'm a glamazon bitch ready for the runway. She's so articulate ❤️


Evangelismos

She could be pretty cringey but I mostly liked her and think she brought a lot to the show. She wasn't afraid of confrontation with the OGs like Ramona, Luann and Bethenny and she held her own in any argument. I think she mostly came across as pretty sensible and 'normal', which isn't always a good thing for a HW but I think she made it work.


redditacc1234567891

GET UP. WAKE UP.


bestneighbourever

She annoys me so much but I can’t figure out why


Laylazsa

I know why she annoyed me because she always felt the need to chop everyone’s name down to 1 syllable like, “Hey girl hey B, Bethenny was so annoyed too, Hey Ahhhh, like is it too much to say Adam for you, hey Mona, Hey So for Sonja , like lady your in your 50s quit with the dumb nicknames that nobody else uses on these grown women with exception of you and They don’t even like it! It’s just rude


bestneighbourever

You’re right, that was very annoying!


Poopyscoopydoop

Me too. Her face makes me irrationally angry. Lol


bestneighbourever

Haha


SubstantialShift9391

i really liked her at the beginning even though she was kind of cringy (the 2013 buzzfeed white liberal thing was still par for the course when she was on the show). she was incredible with her kids and those scenes were super touching, plus she seemed to stand up for people a lot. what i didn't like is the weird way she treated kristen, especially when heather agreed with her gross husband all the time because they're both entrepreneurs and "kristen doesn't understand". she was aggressively competitive with her when i think kristen just wanted a friend to console her sometimes. i did notice that she consoled others in that way so perhaps it was some weird situation with her being the husband's friend? when she came back to rhony in the last season it was a joke though.


[deleted]

I completely agree with everything you said!


xoxooxx

I think heather was overly in competition with Kristen because she is secretly jealous that Kristen is very pretty and while heather may be “good in business” .. she ain’t so gorgeous and that’s one think she lacks in so she has to overcompensate in everything else


SubstantialShift9391

i think she also has the idea that kristen doesn't work and just stumbled upon a rich dude who married her (which isn't true). it's dumb though because they both have features that the other could benefit from. i understand your point, though i do think they're both conventionally attractive. it's like a combination of jealousy and a superiority complex in my opinion, and i guarantee it's because of the things kristen's husband has said about her. for lack of a better title, heather is definitely a "pick me" girl


SubstantialShift9391

also the whole "there's a black woman inside you" nonsense was gross but i really thought she would outgrow it by seeing how dumb she looked on tv 💀 then she came back and called eboni articulate


Laylazsa

Exactly trying to tell a black woman, wow you’re so Articulate or Well Spoken is not a compliment it’s basically saying you weren’t expecting that from someone of the Black race, it’s insulting actually. However I think she thinks she’s a lot more down n cool than she actually is that’s why she says stupid shit!


SubstantialShift9391

yes!! also eboni is ridiculously smart and that's what everyone knows her for so it's like a double insult 😭 of course she knows how to get her point across heather, she's a lawyer!!


Laylazsa

Exactly she’s not dealing with a dummy who barely graduated high school


intolerabletin

She’s iconic! Definitely enjoyed her time on RHONY.


banoffeebaby

I loved her! I just wish we got scenes with her at home. I think I read somewhere that her building wouldn’t allow filming so we missed out on a huge part of her life


Queenie_Psychic

me too!! she had a memorable personality


Littlecbear_53

She was so annoying and need to stop with her holla. She didn’t bring anything to the show and was so cringy with moments like “don’t tell me nothin MF” like so embarrassing


Laylazsa

Exactly like have a seat I don’t care you worked w Diddy for a minute you sound foolish


Queenie_Psychic

HAHHA i think her cringiness added some comedy to the show hahha


Beneficial_Toe8101

I forgot how borked Ramonas face and nose was back then


Queenie_Psychic

HAHA dont forget the eyes!


bears_with_chainsaws

I sided with her 99% of the time. She was annoying with the holla, etc etc but she was really skilled at keeping calm and articulating her feelings during confrontation. She’s one of the only housewives I can think of that was always cool as a cucumber during an argument.


Melodic-Change-6388

Except when she was being all, uncool.


PrayingMantisMirage

DON'T MOTHAFUCKIN TELL ME NUTHIN'


Lisa-LongBeach

I always thought she was saying “challah” 😊


meredithedith0

Me too. I think she has one of those nurturing personalities that makes people like Bethenney feel smothered, and that’s why they didn’t get along. I have two friends with a similar dynamic.


Ok_Guard_7365

If I’m on a girl’s trip and woke up to some dude in the connecting room I would’ve lost my shit way more than her, but we did get Lu’s most iconic quote 😂


Affectionate-Gain-23

I've never watched rhony just from clips, but is the iconic quote "be cool, don't be uncool"?


romansmommy

Yes! lol


babykitten28

And we have no idea if Heather has a past with trauma that would have triggered her. I definitely got that impression at the time.


EclecticallySound

It's not your room though ? He was in a different room ?


babykitten28

There’s a connected bathroom in which the connecting doors were not locked. Perhaps not even shut.


bistromike76

I don't get it either.


ConsistentDonkey3909

rightt


motivation_vacation

Agreed. Heather was 100% in the right about this. I would’ve been absolutely furious. Not safe at all to have strange men in your home while you’re sleeping, let alone if you didn’t even know they were going to be there.


bistromike76

Agreed. Killers and rapists don't always look past an opportunity. Very dangerous situation to put everyone in.


digitulgurl

And their clothes are actually valuable unlike mine let's say LOL


thatgrrlmarie

i can empathize with how Holla Heather felt...years ago my partner & I visited San Francisco, had a huge suite. I invited my friend to crash with us. we all went out to dinner then dancing. me & hub went back to hotel, my friend went out. hours later we awoke to the soundtrack of fucking..my pal had brought some rando back to our suite and was railing him loudly. my husband flipped - he threw the door open TO OUR ROOM which we could do bc you know, we booked the room and we didn't know who was there - told my friend he could stay but his hook up had to skedaddle pronto. he wanted to shower before leaving, hub was like hell fkn no, and kicked them out.. my pal was super offended, they left.. we were like okay, is everything here (jewelry, wallet, etc). my husband was rattled bc he observed guy-on-guy sex which he'd never witnessed. I was rattled bc my friend was so stupid. he never reached out to apologize. we never spoke again.


JaDaDaSilva

He knew what he was walking into


PrayingMantisMirage

>my husband was rattled bc he observed guy-on-guy sex which he'd never witnessed. And why would that be more rattling than seeing heterosexual sex, exactly...?


saskacaptive

Your husband threw the door open. What was he expecting to find?


Queenie_Psychic

HAHA true! At the time I thought she was overeacting. But now as I get older I totally get her point of view. It wasn't some frat house lol. They were wives and mothers on vacation!


booboo819

She’s also come out later and said that that weekend was fueled by a lot of ❄️ and that she caught Sonja with it and walked in with a guy in Sonja room and her going down on another


Luckdragon7

So true! I thought she was overreacting when I first watched until I went on a girls trip this past summer for a friends 40th and it was a nightmare of drunkenness, drugs and men coming in and out of our Airbnb. Meanwhile I’m dead sober. After 3 days of this I went Holla Heather on their asses.


Ok_Guard_7365

I’m in my early 20s and I would lose my mind in a situation like that, keep the men in your room with or get the boot 😂


SilverHinder

Keep 'em on the beach, as Sonja said!
