Heather even reflected on how she didn’t always feel 100 percent secure in her body during RHOSLC‘s early seasons.
“You have to have a lot more confidence to show up when no clothes fit,” she admitted. “I’m wearing a stretchy jumpsuit, I’m next to all of these beautiful women. You have to have confidence in spades to do this whole show.”
The mother of three even got emotional defending herself from negative commentors.
“Because I am happy and I am proud of myself,” she continued, “and I don’t want that to make me meaner. I am different, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I took medication to make me lose weight.”
Heather has previously gotten candid about feeling criticized for using an injectable Type 2 diabetes drug to slim down, despite the Ozempic trend taking the world by storm in recent years.
“I’ve been shamed for just about everything and anything,” she told E! News in September. “I got shamed for being overweight and I got shamed for being on medication. So, you can’t win.”
