Jen Shahis speaking out about her ongoing legal woes asThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake Citycloses out its sophomore season.
On Sunday evening, the final episode of the three-part reunion special for theBravoseries aired, which saw hostAndy Cohendiscuss Jen’s upcoming wire fraud and money laundering trial.
Last year, Jen and her assistant Stuart Smithwere arrested and chargedwith one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing — through which they allegedly victimized 10 or more persons over the age of 55 — and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Early in the episode, Jen appeared with husband Sharrieff Shah and discussed the day she was arrested. Sharrieff detailed how he was dealing with some personal health issues and asked his assistant to call Jen to make her aware of those problems.

Andy then explained there was “speculation” that the call to Jen was to tip her off that authorities were heading her way. However, Jen denied those claims. “If I would’ve got tipped off, I would have not waited around,” she said.

During the episode, Sharrieff also explained that he understood exactly what Jen’s job entitled, but due to the legality of her case, he could not elaborate further.
Jen also explained that she hasn’t had contact with Stuart since they were both put into police custody. She similarly told Andy she couldn’t comment on Stuart’s guilty plea as well, given the legality of the case ahead of her.

Towards the end of the episode, Andy questioned each of the remaining housewives on whether or not they thought Jen was innocent or guilty of fraud and money laundering.
After a brief silence, Heather Gay first explained, “I love Jen, I don’t care if she’s guilty or not, I don’t care.” Lisa Barlow chimed in second, saying, “Jen told me she’s innocent and I believe her.” Heather added, “I want the best for her and her family, and I will be in court every day … She’s in the fight of her life.”
