Anyone who’s ever watched “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” has seen Jen Shah protest again and again that she was innocent of all the charges against her — and lash out at any of her friends or cast mates who breathed a word of doubt. Now, the former Real Housewife is singing quite a different tune. Following her sentencing, according to NBC News, Shah’s attorney Priya Chaudhry said in a statement, “Jen Shah deeply regrets the mistakes that she has made and is profoundly sorry to the people she has hurt. Jen has faith in our justice system, understands that anyone who breaks the law will be punished, and accepts this sentence as just.” The statement continued, “Jen will pay her debt to society and when she is a free woman again, she vows to pay her debt to the victims harmed by her mistakes.”
Shah, along with her “assistant” Stuart Smith, were indicted in 2021 on charges of wire fraud, according to Vulture. The indictment claimed Shah and Smith were in charge of a widespread telemarketing scheme that targeted the elderly, selling them phony “business services” that “defrauded hundreds of victims.”

We hope Shah’s apology is a genuine one because the crimes to which she has pled guilty are, to use a common pun, Shah-palling.
