Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Jen Shah Begins 6.5-Year Prison Sentence – E! Online

“I was clear with Bravo that out of respect or the courts and a standing judicial order,” Jen wrote in a Dec. 16 Instagram statement, “I would not be in a position to discuss anything related to my legal case or sentencing.”

Stating that the network found her decision “unsatisfactory,” Jen said she not to attend, explaining that the “expectation has no regard for me or my family’s well-being.”

She concluded, “I need to focus on the most important thing in my life—my family.”

She also later clarified that she wouldn’t be participating in a one-on-one sit down interview with executive producer Andy Cohen, stating that there was an “unwillingness to remove contractual provisions.”

(E! News reached out to Bravo for comment at the time and had not heard back).

Last December, Jen’s castmate, Meredith Marks, shared insight into how Jen was doing in the days before her sentencing.

“It’s a lot, so anyone in her shoes would be struggling with a lot of different things,” she told E! News at the time. “She obviously has a lot of variables being thrown at her well beyond her sentencing.”
