Jen Shah has been sentenced to six and a half years in prison following her arrest for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, Us Weekly can confirm.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, 49, was sentenced to 78 months in prison with five years of supervised release on Friday, January 6, in a New York City courtroom. At the hearing, Judge Sidney Stein slammed Shah’s actions after her attorney Priya Chaudhry began listing the “good things” her client had recently done.
“What good things could she have been doing, calling elderly people and selling them business opportunities and they would max out their credit cards and get the person to put down an additional credit card and then upsell them for other products?” Stein asked, per NBC News. “If there is good in that I want to hear it.”
The judge also noted that he didn’t take Shah’s role on RHOSLC into account when deciding her sentence. “People should not confuse, and this court is not going to confuse, the character she plays on an entertainment show with the person I have before me,” he said. “The other is acting and this is reality.”
The reality star was arrested in March 2021 alongside assistant Stuart Smith. Shah, who initially pleaded not guilty, was accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
While filming RHOSLC, Shah claimed that she felt “wrongly accused” by authorities. “I don’t take this lightly,” she said during an episode in March. “It’s my life and more importantly, it’s my family’s life. I care about them more than anything. I don’t want my kids or my husband or my mom or my family affected by this and so I have to fight and I have to have faith in the justice system.”
