However, she later confirmed Jen was responsible, saying Jen asked her, "Did I do that to you?" the morning after the incident
. Heather admitted to covering for Jen for years, feeling scared and protective of her while Jen was facing legal troubles and prison time for fraud. Heather apologized publicly for lying about the incident, describing the situation as humiliating and terrifying, and said she took a lot of heat defending Jen despite the injury
. Jen Shah has denied giving Heather the black eye, even from prison, and no clear footage exists showing the actual moment of injury. The full details remain somewhat unclear, but Heather's acknowledgment during the season 4 finale made it official that Jen Shah caused the black eye
