Jen Shah's 'RHOSLC' Costars and Fellow Bravolebrities Weigh In on Her Sentencing: From Andy Cohen to Teresa Giudice

Weighing in. Jen Shah's Real Housewives of Salt Lake City costars were not the only ones with plenty to say about her prison sentence. The reality star, who rose to fame after appearing in the hit Bravo series, was sentenced to 78 months with five years of supervised release in January 2023. Shah originally made headlines for her legal woes in March 2021. After initially pleading not guilty, the Utah native later changed her plea. "In 2012 to March 2021 in the Southern Distrit of New York and elsewhere I agreed with others to commit wire fraud," she said during a June 2022 court hearing in New York City. "I knew this was wrong. I knew many people were harmed and I'm so sorry." After previously facing up to 30 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney's office dropped the second charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Shah, for her part, issued an apology to her family amid the drama. “I am profoundly and deeply sorry,” she told husband Sharrieff Shah and their sons following the sentencing. "Reality TV has nothing to do with reality." [jwplayer UmkLXjp3-zhNYySv2] Fellow Bravo star Teresa Giudice addressed the news shortly after the judge ordered Shah to report to prison in February 2023. “I can’t relate to that [Shah’s sentencing], because I would never do something like that, you know?” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star said on an episode of her “Namaste B$tches” podcast. Giudice, who served time behind bars after pleading guilty to fraud in March 2014, noted that her experience was much different. Teresa clarified that she was sentenced after signing papers that allowed her ex-husband Joe Giudice to commit fraud — allegedly without her knowledge. “Listen, it’s sad, [but] like, I wouldn’t steal anybody’s money,” she continued. “I would not do that. I would never do that, that’s so bad. I know my kids know that I didn’t do anything. Joe told them. But when you’re stealing [from] people, and the kids could read this, and they’re like, ‘Mom, well why’d you do this?’ Like what do you say to your kids to that?” Ahead of Shah's sentencing, Andy Cohen addressed the future of RHOSLC if the star received time in prison. "I hope that she gets no jail time whatsoever and she can come right back ... but I have a feeling that she's not going to be available to be on the show," he exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2022. "Some people on Twitter were saying, 'We want Jen next season.' And I'm like, 'OK, well, talk to the judge.'" Scroll down for everyone who weighed in on Shah's sentencing:

“Listen, it’s sad, [but] like, I wouldn’t steal anybody’s money,” Teresa said on her podcast, noting that it "bothers" her to get compared to Shah. “I would not do that. I would never do that, that’s so bad. I know my kids know that I didn’t do anything. Joe told them.”

"I'm hoping to go talk to Jen this weekend. I'm hopeful that I can do that sit down with her in front of some cameras and deliver that to you," the Real Housewives executive producer said on his Sirius XM'sRadio Andy show. "I'm really hoping to do that."

Whitney Rose

Eagle-eyed fans assumed Rose was throwing shade with a social media caption following an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

“Season 3 of #rhoslc was a lot and very heavy,” she wrote via Instagram, just hours after Shah was sentenced. “Wrapping it with such a fun show was the perfect send off to a difficult season. The darkness is gone, lightness is upon us.”

Heather Gay

The RHOSLC star reflected on being “overwhelmed with grief” in the season 3 finale of the show.

“Grief that we are in this situation, that there are victims, our friend is going away for a decade and she has a 16-year-old,” Gay explained in the January 2023 episode. “What she pled guilty to is so bad.”

She continued. “And the fact that she’s taken it this far and gone on for this long and proclaimed her innocence, and now, I can only think she did it and she thought she was going to get away with it, and when she realized she wasn’t going to get away with it, her story changed. It was the last thing I expected, was for

Brandi Glanville

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Glanville said Shah should have received "more time" after taking advantage of the elderly in her scheme.

“My grandma’s birthday is today. She is 95, Grandma Hazel. No, it’s not fair. She should do more time,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum said at the time. “Yeah, she should do more time.”

"Don’t do illegal stuff period!!!!!” the Real Housewives of Orange County star shared via Instagram Stories alongside a video of herself. “If you’re doing illegal stuff and you go on reality TV, you’re a special type of idiot. Why go on reality TV if you’re doing criminal acts? You’re just asking for it.”
