Monica Garcia Wants Heather Gay to ‘Pull It Together’ and Welcome Her Back to ‘RHOSLC’

The RHOSLC alum, Monica Garcia,  expressed her eagerness for a return to the show, though she believes one cast member is blocking her path.

“I think if Heather Gay wasn’t there that I would have a chance,” Garcia told TooFab. “I think that she is, you know, the number one person who doesn’t want me on the cast.”

Heather Gay, known for her dramatic reveal of Monica’s involvement in a RHOSLC gossip account, made it clear during the Season 4 finale and to Andy Cohen that Garcia wouldn’t be welcome in her life again.

Monica, speaking before her appearance at Jennifer Dilandro’s Dolce Aesthetics Pride party in NYC, argued for her return.

“So maybe if there was like a cast shake up or maybe if it just came down to, ‘f–king deal with it and this is what it is or leave,’ then I don’t know,” Garcia mused.

She added, “I think the fans are so invested in this. They’re so invested in this journey that is Reality Von Tease and I think that Heather needs to put her big girl panties on and realize this is what we do, and this is what the fans deserve… let’s give the fans what they want… she just needs to pull it together.”

Despite the tension, Monica participated in BravoCon solo, a move she found both awkward and beneficial given the divide with her castmates.

“It was weird and I definitely felt the divide, but I also think that it worked out for the best because we were not on speaking terms and I think it would’ve been very awkward had we been, you know, doing press and things like that together,” Garcia explained. “It was my first BravoCon so I didn’t even know that we were supposed to do press all together until I saw them doing press all together.”

Monica believes the separation was a mix of Bravo’s strategy and her costars’ wishes.

“Maybe it was a mix of both. I’m sure they didn’t want us to engage before the reunion and they wanted that to be as real as possible,” she noted. “That was the first time we saw each other from Bermuda so they did a great job making sure we had that moment for a reunion.”

Since the reunion, Garcia hasn’t encountered her former castmates, except a brief, silent run-in with Whitney Rose. However, she found the Salt Lake community supportive.

“Honestly, everyone in Salt Lake is so sweet, I haven’t had anyone be mean or rude to me. Everyone is so kind,” she shared. “At the end of the day, you can tell that the fans are like, ‘No matter what happens, that was incredible television and whether we like you or hate you, you gave us the best season ever,’ so yeah, everyone has been so nice.”

Support from fellow Bravolebrities has also buoyed Monica.

“A lot of them are Housewives and they’ve been through it, they’ve been on both sides, and they understand how it works,” she said. “You have your great seasons; you have your bad seasons, and you have the in-between. I know that my cast tried really hard to make it to where people hated me and some of them fell for that, but yeah, there’s been Lisa, Chanel, Caroline Stanbury – she was so sweet, the cast of Miami was amazing. Dolores from New Jersey was incredible, there’s just been so many amazing, amazing people.”

Garcia also updated fans on her strained relationship with her mother, Linda, after a series of on-air fights.

“When you’re living it, you’re kind of just used to it and numb and you don’t see it as that bad but watching this season back and seeing it from that perspective was so eye opening,” she shared. “My mother and I have not spoken at all since we wrapped, it’s been months and months and I don’t see that relationship ever rekindling.”

“She took the car back, again, after stuff that I said at the reunion and I was just like, ‘We are done, we are done,'” Garcia added. “She went nuts on social media like a crazy person and that was the last straw for me.”
