‘Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ Star Jen Shah Begins 6.5-Year Prison Sentence
View StoryIn January 2023, a judge handed down a six-and-a-half-year sentence for Shah, who was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing, through which they victimized 10 or more persons over the age of 55, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
People reports she apologized at her sentencing, saying, "I am sorry. My actions have hurt innocent people. I want to apologize by saying, I am doing all I can to earn the funds to pay restitution.”
She began serving time that February, but had her sentence reduced multiple times since then.
Shah was in custody at a facility where other high-profile inmates included Elizabeth Holmes and Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Extra spoke with Jen’s co-star Meredith Marks in 2024, who gave an update on how Shah was doing.
Marks said she had contact with Jen's husband Sharrieff and her manager, saying, Jen seemed to be "doing pretty well” given the circumstances.
Meredith elaborated, “She’s found her footing there… I’ve heard that she’s, like, doing fitness classes and at some point was doing some makeup stuff. She’s finding something to do to fill the time because it's a lot of time on your hands.”
When asked how Sharrieff was handling the situation, Marks answered, “Given what’s going on, they’re doing good. It’s not what anyone wishes for in their life, but it is what it is and they’re navigating.”
