During the reunion, Jen began screaming and sobbing about how there is a “double standard” with how she is treated because she is a woman of color.
The Bravo star said it’s “offensive and dangerous” to be labeled as “aggressive” by her cast mates, as she is a biracial woman living in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Additionally, Jen’s husband- Sharrieff Shah- is Black and they have two Black sons together: Omar, 17, and Sharrieff Jr., 26.
The RHOSLC star specifically called out Whitney and Heather during the episode for treating her differently because of the color of her skin.
While Whitney and Heather owned up to having white privilege, they insisted Jen’s behavior is not okay.

Meredith Marks eventually chimed in and told Jen: “Making an accusation to someone that they are racist, especially in our current environment is a huge statement.”
Jen then broke down in tears as she shouted back: “I didn’t want to get into this shit because it’s painful and you do not know!”
The mother-of-two soon she got up from her chair and stormed off set.
She completely lost her cool while backstage, where she explained the situation to her husband.
Sharrieff was able to calm her down before Jen returned to the stage to finish the episode.

Jen has never been one to hold back her emotions and regularly expressed herself throughout the first season of RHOSLC.
Back in January, the 47-year-old emotionally shattered a glass at her husband’s surprise birthday party.
Towards the end of the party, Whitney and Heather took Jen aside to tell her that her good friends, Lisa Barlow and Meredith, had been talking behind Jen’s back to her nemesis, Mary Cosby.
Whitney claimed that Lisa and Meredith told Mary- who was not at the party- everyone that is “scared of how Jen handles situations and overall scared of Jen.”
