Jen Shah is “doing very well” behind bars, according to her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” co-star Meredith Marks.
During a recent episode of Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens: Live” after show, a fan asked Marks whether if she’s been in touch with Shah since she’s been in prison.
“Jen called me a few weeks ago from prison,” Marks, 52, revealed, joking that it was the first time she had received a call from a federal penitentiary.
“She told me I could check it off my bucket list,” Marks said, noting that the imprisoned Housewife sounded “great” during their conversation.
“It’s a quick call, it’s recorded, it’s 10 minutes, it cut off but it sounds like she’s doing very well,” she added.
In July 2022, Shah, 51, pleaded guilty to defrauding thousands of people out of their money in a telemarketing scheme. She had originally pleaded not guilty in the case.
The mother of two was sentenced to over six years in prison and was ordered to pay $6.5 million in restitution.
However, Page Six exclusively reported in October that the reality star’s prison sentence has been reduced for a second time by eight months.
She is now set to be released from Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas on Dec. 19, 2027, instead of Aug. 30, 2028.
In March 2023, Shah’s sentence was reduced by one year.
At the time, Shah’s rep told People that the Housewife was “doing well” and “committed towards making her victims whole.”
“She has initiated her payments towards restitution, and we hope to have her home as soon as possible,” the rep told the outlet, “so that she may resume life with her family and work, putting this chapter of her life behind her.”
