The month of March was full of really bad press for Jen Shah. Her first season on RHOSLC, showed her to be a not very likeable person. It didn’t seem like she could look any worse. She was rude to production and actually splashed them with water during the outdoor bathtub and blamed them for standing there filming her and “making her get in a tub.” On the Vegas trip she managed to piss everyone off and had to be restrained and taken to her room by some sort of body guard that I believe her husband sent to babysit her dumb ass. The weird spiritual lady they went to tried to get through to her to no avail. It seems she saw Mary being a horrible person who fleeces her flock for designer clothes, and said “I see your horrific soul, hold my beer.”
Why So Angry, Jen Shah?
For anyone giving her the benefit of the doubt thinking this was all for show, the month of March made it perfectly clear Jen Shah literally sucks as a person. First, we got this audio tape of her talking to her employees like dogs. Then, we found out that she was angry at the designer who was doing all of her clothes for the series. Apparently, the reunion dress getting finished went right down to the wire. He eventually quit because he was not being paid when he should have been and he could not take anymore. Plus, she never mentioned his name at the reunion. She also has a “company” that he was doing all the work for.
Just when you thought Jen Shah could not be any more disgusting, she commented on the backlash against her by comparing herself to George Floyd by saying everyone has their knee on her neck and how she can’t breathe. Who does that? But wait, there’s more! We saw video of Coach Shah coming in to try to keep Jen from murdering Koa, her designer, and some female assistant. It’s truly deranged. I suggest you click on all the links if you missed a post. It is important to see the cumulative effect of all this behavior. She really is a danger to the other ladies on RHOSLC and Bravo should be doing something about Jen Shah. But they are not. Which brings us to my exclusive tea.
I’ll Give You Something To Cry About Jen Shah
As we know, just when we thought Jen could not possibly top her horrific behavior that all came out in March, Jen Shah and her creepy assistant, Stuart Smithe were arrested by HOMELAND SECURITY on March 30th. Homeland Security was the branch of government involved because Internet safety is in their jurisdiction the charges, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering involved Internet and phone crimes.
According to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, “Jen Shah and Stuart Smith who is portrayed as her assistant on the reality series generated and sold “lead lists” of innocent people who could be targeted for their nationwide scam for about 9 years.” The people that Jen Shah and her minions targeted were “vulnerable, often elderly, working-class people” who were duped by the promise of business opportunities involving Shah, Smith and their alleged co-conspirators.
She Almost Made It Out Of Utah
So what was Jen doing when she was arrested? I had to call Tamara Tattles SOURCE and do some grilling. I continue to do that but SOURCE is not as forthcoming as I would like. But here is what my EXCLUSIVE SOURCE told me. The filming of RHOSLC season two is at the halfway point. There are fourteen regular episodes for season two. The filming that day was a cast trip departure. The cast was “en route to Colorado” to film when the feds showed up. Jen was allegedly tipped off by her husband that the feds were looking for her. So, Jen made up and excuse and bolted from the trip out of the blue, shocking production.
One of the reasons that this post took so long is because I wanted a lot more detail about the actual arrival of the Feds. Since they were en route, it sounds like they were all in a van (except for Jen). I am fuzzy on the detail despite asking tons of questions. I am taking “enroute” to mean they were in a van and the feds pulled them over. Tamara Tattles exclusive source didn’t want to give too many details about the arrival of the Feds. Based on the exclusive information I received it sounds like they were pulled over possibly on the way to the airport or confronted at the airport.
What I do know for sure from my exclusive source is that production was traumatized by the Feds who kept asking where Jen Shah was. The Feds wanted answers and they wanted them from production. I’m quite sure Jen Shah lied to production about her “emergency.” It was traumatic for all involved. The cast eventually got back on their way to Colorado.
Why Doesn’t Sharrieff Shah Co-Mingle Funds With Jen?
Then some exclusive tea was dropped that I didn’t even ask about and that is the best kind. Tamara Tattles can also exclusively report that Jen Shah and her husband Sharrieff Shah have completely separate finances. My exclusive source found that very interesting. They have no common banking accounts at all. It’s like they are roommates! I pressed my source on Jen’s future on season two and Bravo totally wants her to continue filming. She was not allowed to go to Colorado to film due to the conditions of her arrest. She is also not allowed to communicate with Stuart Smith or any of her other co-conspirators. Well, dayum, who will wipe her ass for her?
The next day she was supposed to be arraigned by a virtual conference. But somehow the number was made public and all kinds of people dialed in to participate and Jen could not go through. So they did it on April 2, 2021. The judge deemed Jen Shah a flight risk. Bail was set at a million dollars. She was given a wee to secure the bail with $250,000 in cash or property.
According to Tamara Tattles exclusive source, she has no property in her name. As we know, the “chalet” was a short term rental for the show. From what I know the house where Sharrief lives is in his name and he probably won’t sign that away. That might make him look involved. Any other property she may have if any would be in the name of her multiple “shell accounts” where the stolen and laundered money is funneled. ALLEGEDLY. Most if not all of those accounts are frozen.
The Judge Seemed Well Aware That Jen Has Issues
The judge also mandated that she not take drugs, no drinking alcohol “to excess” and there was a condition about mental health care and alcohol treatment that I’m not really very clear on.
As for the Bravo suits, they could not be any happier. They love this shit. After the Colorado trip the gang all came back to Salt Lake City (or Park City where most of them actually live) for Easter and should be up and filming again any day now if they have not started already. And yes, Jen Shah will be right there being the POS that she is. Her castmates must be loving this. Bravo keeps running season one as a new season at odd hours of the day and night trying to capitalize on this situation. And it ruining my DVR! Actually, it just came on as I was working on this post.
Jen has hired two high powered NYC lawyers that are expensive as hell and very good. Jen is making $9,000 an episode this season will miss all the Colorado episodes unless they air her making a $9,000 video call with someone. Either way she is looking at $150,000 or less before taxes. Something tells me she doesn’t pay taxes. That’s not even enough to pay her fancy lawyers. She is also not allowed to take out more than $5,000 in banking transactions at a time. I believe lawyer fees are an exception.
Jen Shah Is Going To Prison For A Long Time
So that’s it for now. My source doesn’t seem to think that Jen Shah will go to jail. I’m trying to get my source to bet me on that. Jen Shah was booked on conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Jen and Stuart both are looking at a maximum sentence of 30 years for the wire fraud charges and an additional 20 years for the money laundering charges. I expect them both to get at the very least something in the 5-10 year range.
Oh I forgot to address some rumors. This is not from my source, but there is a rumor that at least one of Jen Shah’s assistants was an undercover federal agent. That would be juicy if true. What is a fact is that several of her co-conspirators were arrested a few days before she was. It seems that at least one has already taken a plea deal to implicate Jen and Stuart. If Jen Shah is not smart enough to take a plea deal, her court case is tentatively scheduled for October.
I wonder what her husband has to do with all this…if she really is even married to him. I kept thinking that an assistant coach or any college football coach, doesn’t make that kind of money, unless you’re Dabo Swinny who coaches Clemson.
His salary is public record since he works at a state school. I posted it around here somewhere.
My husband works with a friend of coach Shah. We now live in a different state and our mutual friend is a surgeon. He said coach Shah is a really good guy. When he worked as an attorney it was an abulance chaser type of firm and he hated it. Then he went into coaching and once he started to coach he wasn’t around but loves his job. Our mutual friend has said that it’s his understanding he makes close to $500,000 a year and is never home. They fell in love in high school and I think he has loved her for so long I’m sure she was quite different or she evolved into what she is over time. Our friend thinks coach Shah is not involved in anyway. He is always gone and it seems like she spends a lot more time with Stuart than coach Shah. I don’t think he knew anything. I hope all of this won’t affect his career as a coach. He truly seems like a great guy and their boys seem to follow in their Dad’s footsteps. I know there was a rumor that they were renting 2 houses while she filmed and he and the boys were in a different house most of the time. If that’s truly the case then they are quite separated. It makes sense Jen going after Mary so much trying to deflect the attention from her. What a mess. I just hope Coach Shah and the boys can move forward. I will be so disappointed if he is involved in all of this. When he mentioned the ambulance chaser law firm it made me think he may have a bit of a shady view in regards to taking advantage of people, it just doesn’t seem like that, who knows. My husband saw one scene of Jen’s when coach Shah was there for her blowup my husband couldn’t believe they are still together. In his religion is divorce not allowed or really looked down upon? He really seems to love her. Maybe he is waiting for their younger son to turn 18 and then he will leave. I’m curious if he will be by her side in court or at work. I’m sure the attorney’s will want him to be there but hopefully he doesn’t have to go. He seems like such an authentic good guy, I don’t understand. I just wrote an essay and probably repeated a lot of things but I feel better I got it out of my system.
Thanks for letting us know.
She behave like an untrained beast. Horrible attitude. Dresses horribly. Like the saying goes. You can only imagine what goes on in her unfilmed life. I have no sympathy for her ass. Mary. Who laughs last, laughs best 🤣 😆 😂 😄
The internet tells me it’s $450K for 2020!
He does seem to work a lot but that’s insane.
I’m in the wrong field…
Seems like when I checked it was around 300K or so but that was before season one of RHOSLC began. He’s not even a head coach! But the team must be really good. Or they had a winning season.
They live in a pretty modest house really, Nice gated community where all the houses sort of look alike in the middle $500K range.
I no girl!! She just acted Fake i really didnt care for her it was just something bout her!! Especially when she started having all these Out Burst for little reasons. If this did happen which i believe it did she Deserves Prison!! Thank about those poor ole people they Rob!!! God Dont Like To B Played With
I haven’t read anything that quantifies the damage she has done to those she has duped. any info on that?
I can’t understand why the coach is still with her. The woman is pure evil. I hope that she gets all she deserves and that I never do.
Her lawyers have to be cringing at her idiotic posts on IG with the “unarrested” hashtags and stuff like free Jen shah. Her delusions run deep.
Now that is some TEA!!!!! your very last paragraph is actually most interesting to me….If her co-conspirators had already been arrested days prior, she had to know they were coming. I’m wondering if the FEDS showed up to whatever house she was actually living at or wherever coach shah was and that’s why he tipped her off. but she clearly had to know they were coming for her next already. hopefully cameras were rolling…or at least the audio of this. I’m sure she threw quite the tirade. I’m very curious as to what the other ladies reactions were and if any are still able to defend or support her. what she did is HORRIBLE.
I’m curious also, why your source does not think she will go to prison?? any thoughts?? WAY TO GO TT!!!!
I have no explanation for SOURCE’s statement. I found it shocking. SOURCE said something about first offender and not a violent crime and that she might get a year and a day and then get out early. I completely disagree. Homeland security doesn’t spend 9 years investigating a wire fraud ring that is laundering money and then just let the ring leader go home with a slap on the wrist. She’s going to do time.
Yeah, pretty sure your source is wrong about not getting time. This wasn’t a violent crime, she could still get maximum 30 years under the current charges. For a non-violent offense. It means jack squat that she hasn’t doesn’t time for violent behavior in the past because none of the elements of this crime include violence.
Signed – a NYC lawyer.
I totally agree.
Agreed. I’m a former criminal investigator for very similar crimes. She’s screwed. These types of crimes are very easy to prove because you have so much evidence (phone records, bank records, email etc). Also, if co-conspirators were arrested a few days before, they almost certainly are cooperating and provided more corroboration. She will face criminal enhancements due to the victims being elderly and the amount stolen being so high. That will add years to the sentencing. If I had to guess, I’d ballpark 10-12 years. Unlike State convictions, You have to serve 85% of Federal prison sentences.
This is what I told my source. Low double digits. I’m still trying to get a bet on it. lol.
My jaw dropped as I was reading this. It all sounds like a Law & Order script. It would be amazing and proof that karma exists if one of her staff was an undercover agent. I’ve never agreed with much that has come out of Tamra Judge’s mouth, but she was right yesterday when she said you have to be a special kind of stupid to be doing illegal things and still become a part of reality tv. Thanks for digging up all the latest on this one, Tamara.
I’m not a doctor, but that woman is struggling with a personality disorder of some sort. There’s a lot more going on than just run of the mill narcissism.
i completely agree. and considering the judge also said “She must continue mental health treatment at a specific facility, she’s forbidden from using “alcohol to excess” or any narcotics or controlled substances…” they can tell she’s struggling with something.
i can only imagine the raging and out of control behavior she had after the arraignment. she had to be losing her mind and blowing a head gasket afterwards.
“Casket”…I’m gonna blow a casket.
Hahaha, you know, I should have typed that just for Teresa … 🙂
The correct term is Gasket – it’s a seal
Audrey was making a joke and Kim was acknowledgin the joke. Teresa Guidice is the one that thought the phrase was “blow a casket”…:)
They know, they are making fun of Teresa. She said she was going to blow a ‘casket’ on RHONJ and everyone laughed at her,
Couldn’t y’all just let Staceychris feel smart? 🙂 That’s all the correcters really want.
Love you…that is all lol.
Totally agree with you Terri.
A special kinda stupid. Wanting to be on TV is really worth going to jail?
Well, a book is always a option and many interviews in rag magazines?
I imagine Jen Shah lying lying and additional lying about her innocents and set up by her staff lol.
(And the jealousy that was a huge part, everyone wants to be her! LOL)
TT thank you so much for the great posts. They are so great!!
Right on point! I think Jen took too many pointers from Teresa! And, as a side note, I feel horrible for the kids. It can’t be easy living with the drama Queen and the rescuer who travels for work. I really feel for them. I used to hate when Tre and Joe would say the prison time and deportation was “unfair for the girls”. What was unfair was that their parents put them in that position. Just my two cents!
All I can think of is that Mary must be sweating thing out right about now.
She can’t sweat! They removed her sweat glands!
Damn!! First thing I thought was “I should have RHOSLC. Second thought was “I am SO part of the problem!” THIS is why Bravo loves felons. One of my favorite quotes was “Felonini” said by Richie on NJ. Finally got Hulu with current shows. Watching the $, but I figured I’m worth it. I love when I see EXCLUSIVE!!
It goes to show that casting these shows can be really tough . You want crazy , but not TOO crazy , and some of them just go over the fence . Jen Shah is one , Taylor’s husband was another , but Teresa and Vicky seemed just the right amount of crazy .
I heard randomly that it was her eyelash helper that was a fed bit that may have been a joke . If they can identify that person I am watching the season all over again . I ha r been waiting all week for this tea, thanks so much TT!
Me too. “The Eyelash Helper”. That’s hilarious!
The other day I was watching an episode and scanning the faces of the shah squad. I realized at least 1 guy’s face was blurred out. I didn’t realize it during the season.
Yes…I saw that also.
I’ll need to rewatch the season so I can look for this!!
At what point is enough – actually enough for Bravo?? or her fellow co-stars? Defrauding the elderly? At what point does Bravo walk away? I can’t see Meredith or Lisa hanging around for all this. At some point the stench from rotten people starts to spread. Am I being naive?
Bravo isn’t saying enough is enough. They are saying more, more more.
I love a spectacle. I’ll keep watching. And using Teresa as a verb? So Funny! Like you’ve been Jaxed?
Don’t get me wrong. Duping anyone young or old is despicable. But is it illegal? If I answer the guy who calls me about my car, and I fall for the scam, was he doing something illegal? If I sell my gold jewelry to a local pawn shop for 1/8th of its worth, was that illegal? If that pawn shop realizes I’m a sucker and gives my number to another friend in order to get me to sell more, is it illegal? I get the money laundering charges and most likely tax evasion.
Yes, it’s illegal to sell non-existent services. What she was doing would be more like if the pawn shop dealer took your gold and gave you nothing in return. That’s stealing.
I kind of get what you are saying. In criminal cases, it is critical to explain clearly to the jury what the crime charged is, how people were hurt, how the defendant intended to defraud. I have been involved in cases involving complicated financial instruments. We worked for months to figure out how to present the evidence and what we would say to the jury. And convince the judge how serious the fraud is, so the sentence will reflect it.
I have looked at the indictment and it is complicated. I’d love for someone to dumb it down for me. I am not familiar with the type of business involved.
With regard to sentencing, it is the practice in federal cases that the sentence is to be carried out almost entirely, with a little taken off for good behavior. The whole year and a day, only serving 1/3 does not take place any more. That type of sentence is only relevant to the type of prison where the sentence will be served.
Her co-defendants were charged some time ago. She was indicted under seal so they must have had good evidence of risk of flight.
The whole thing is fascinating to me.
If she is smart, and clearly she is not, she will take a plea deal well before October. I really hope she doesn’t though and that it actually goes to trial. I remember watching some or maybe just reading reports on Teresa going to court … right?
Once the feds get you, you might as well just lay down. They have not worked on this for NINE YEARS only to let you off easy.
Also, someone here mentioned that they have stopped getting inundated with spam calls every day. I try to zap them with a block and just thought I was doing a great job at it in the past few days. But I swear I have not gotten on since she was indicted.
And the calls were non stop. I let them go to voice mail (I NEVER ANSWER MY PHONE ANYWAY) and occasionally go through to delete them. Recently, there has been a sort of scary guy on one end saying “Can I speak to Tamara (mispronounced) Hello… TAMARA, I KNOW YOU ARE THERE…” Poof. All gone now.
I really wish I knew what episode it was when Heather gave a quick description of Jen’s business. It was as if Heather used her services to help grow her business. At the time I remember thinking Jen’s business must be like cookie tracking.
Oh she’s going to prison. The SDNY is involved and she was the last one arrested after others in the ring had already blabbed and plead. This is serious stuff.
I see why your source thinks she won’t get jail time. In these white collar crimes, you can get your sentence severely reduced, or get things like House Arrest or a Camp Cupcake like Martha Stewart got, but Jen is sitting here on social media acting a fool which I don’t think is going to help her. Also, the longer she waits to take a deal, the less likely the are to give her one and if they do it won’t be as favorable. If by October this trial goes as planned she’s getting YEARS! It also doesn’t help that we know the first people were indicted in 2019….for them to just now arrest her says she’s at the top of the food chain so they may not even WANT to cut a deal. They got everything they need. She’s screwed.
I think attitudes are changing. Teresa from NJ did get a year and that was after a plea deal and way less serious charges
I must have missed the social media! It’s all old now…
Please let Mary tell Jen that she smells like prison and explain why that also is a trigger for her.
BWAH HAHAHAHAHAHA!! This made me snort! Thank you! But something tells me that Mary might end up smelling like prison herself!
I Hope that Evil Bitch hoes to jail for a long time!!
Who the Fk steals from the elderly ?
Jen Shah is a Fake just like Teresa & the Rest of them .
I’m Do Done with these Bullshit shows
