It is time to say goodbye to Jen Shah for the subsequent six-and-a-half years — however she isn’t going to jail with out saying one last item first.
As the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star heads to a jail someplace within the “Texas region” on Friday, her legal professional Priya Chaudhry advised People in an announcement that Jen goes to take advantage of out of her sentence and “make amends” for her position within the telemarketing scheme:
“Jen Shah’s resolve to make her victims whole and to turn her life around is unyielding. She is committed to serving her sentence with courage and purpose, fueled by her desire to make amends for the hurt she has caused and to help others in her new community.”

She continued:
“No obstacle will deter Jen from making the most of her time in prison and she’s determined to make restitution to those whose lives she has impacted. Her path ahead will be filled with challenges, but with the unwavering love and support of her family and friends, Jen is prepared to face these challenges head-on and emerge from this experience a better person who makes a positive impact on others.”
Hmm. We’ll must see if Jen’s time in jail transforms her right into a “better person.” At this time, many individuals is perhaps slightly skeptical of that primarily based on her earlier actions throughout her authorized troubles.
For those that didn’t sustain with the case, Jen and her assistant, Stuart Smith, have been arrested in March 2021 after being accused of orchestrating an enormous telemarketing rip-off that took hundreds of thousands from aged victims. Victim affect statements obtained by People detailed the Bravolebrity’s horrible crimes. One man revealed he “wasted about $40,000 trying to do good for my family” whereas another person mentioned they shelled out $100,000. As a results of Jen and Stuart’s rip-off, two victims mentioned they grew to become homeless. So, so terrible.
Despite the accusations in opposition to them, the pair pleaded not responsible in April 2021. Stuart finally pleaded responsible months later in November 2021. However, Jen insisted she was harmless for months — and even blamed her co-star, Meredith Marks, for having one thing to do with the “bulls**t charges” in opposition to her at one level in season two of RHOSLC:
“I swear to God, if you have anything to do with the bulls**t charges against me, Meredith, you’re f**king disgusting.”
But in a surprising twist, Shah lastly reversed her plea in July 2022 and confessed to offering pretend companies to her aged victims. Judge Sidney Stein later sentenced her to 78 months in jail and gave her 5 years of supervision as soon as her sentence is full so as “to make sure you don’t end up committing another crime.” So we’ll all hope for the most effective together with her rehabilitation — however we’re glad she’ll be supervised throughout that point.
Things are actually going to be very completely different for Jen for a very long time! Reactions to what she needed to say, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback beneath!
