'Bad Mormon,' the book by reality star and beauty mogul Heather Gay, is out today. Check out this interview she gave to The New York Times.
Reality television star Heather Gay, at her home in Murray, Utah, Jan. 23, 2023.

“When the book comes out, there will be no path back,” Gay said. She was seated on a swivel chair in front of her laptop in a small office at Beauty Lab + Laser, the medical spa business she founded in Salt Lake City with her close friend Dre Robinson in 2017. “I don’t know what the fallout will be. But I’m not scared like I used to be,” she said.
Gay, the third of six siblings, was born in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, and moved to Denver with her family when she was 5. Eventually, her husband left. “The divorce was the dam that broke,” she said. Gay felt isolated. Her stress levels were very high, she said, and she developed Bell’s palsy, with half of her face becoming temporarily paralyzed. In 2016, single and struggling with her religion, Gay began working on a medical spa business with Robinson, who had left the church many years ago, and became her “non-Mormon guide.
