Jen Shah may have pleaded guilty to cable fraud charges, but what does that mean for The Real Housewives?

For more than a year, Jen Shah has maintained her innocence regarding the conspiracy charges to commit computer fraud and money laundering against her. But in a surprising turn of events, the The real housewives of Salt Lake City The star recently overturned her guilty plea in court. As a result, he is headed for sentencing in November and will almost certainly face jail time. (Estimates assume between 14 and 30 years). The question remains, though: What does all of this mean for his assignment on the Bravo show?

Technically, the The real housewives of Salt Lake City has already been shooting season 3 for several months. Jen Shah is among the cast’s returning alumni, so we know at least some of her legal woes recently will be documented as in Season 2. According to a source of people, the fraud case is actually a “very important part” of Shah’s future stories. However, will he also be part of a possible fourth season? The source said:

As many recall, Teresa Giudice was charged with Jen Shah-like fraud by the federal government in 2014, along with her husband Joe Giudice. She made a plea deal that eventually sent her to jail for nearly a year. The mother of four filmed The real housewives of New Jersey until he had to turn himself in and his family (some of whom are co-stars on the reality series) continued to do so afterwards. Presumably, Bravo would like to make the same deal with Jen Shah.

However, the positions of marketing manager are much higher than those of Teresa Giudice, so any kind of return (as happened with Giudice) would be far away. It’s possible RHOSLC will feature Jen Shah in season four to some extent based on footage the network has already caught and given that her sentence is still months away. But everything else is probably just wishful thinking.

Jen Shah’s only revealing interview on the matter, outside of Bravo, took place a few weeks before she pleaded guilty. At that time, she still marked her innocence of hers in her strong message to detractors. Many wonder why then the sudden turnaround of the TV personality? It is speculated that the convictions of reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley (with, again, similar allegations) in June were a strong warning to Shah of the possibilities of her if he too took her case to court. To be sure, Teresa Giudice’s former lawyer had also warned of problems ahead of Shah’s case in court.

Andy Cohen, executive producer of real housewives The franchise and its longtime reunion host initially reacted to the reversal of the motif with mild ambivalence. in the meantime she Salt Lake City the co-stars were silent about the situation. More recently, however, Cohen followed up on earlier statements by him by saying on his radio show (via people) who is “particularly upset about his victims” and who “lied for so long”. He claims he encouraged Jen Shah because of his steadfastness of her innocence. The 54-year-old talk show host added:

Some viewers believe Jen Shah should be immediately fired from the show due to her (now official) admission of guilt in the national telemarketing program that allegedly victimized seniors and others. Meghan McCain, who had previously advocated “justice” on the matter RHOBHErika Jayne and her legal woes echoed Shah’s impeachment demands, according to her editorial for The daily mail. Since Jennie Nguyen was fired earlier this year RHOSLC for a racial scandal and his co-star Mary Cosby would have voluntarily gone away after their controversies, does not bode well for the reported scammer.

We will see how everything will evolve in the months to come. past seasons of The real housewives of Salt Lake City are currently available to stream on Peacock Premium.
