Jen Shah’s texting was guilty and inspired a plea

With the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion coming out January 25, 2023, one face is lost: Jen Shah. Now, we obviously knew that Jen was very likely to show up, but her presence will definitely be missed. The plot and her overall erratic nature makes for great television.

Still, I’m looking forward to sitting down with Andy Cohen. Jen Shah said on her Instagram on Jan. 19 that it won’t happen. In her post, Jen said that Andy and Bravo “didn’t want me and Bravo to remove contractual clauses that allowed them to legally misrepresent me and my story…” , said he did not intend to conduct an interview.
What’s interesting is that she appears to be blaming herself in her own words in a published text message.
Here’s a snippet of Jen Shah’s text message:
The popular Instagram account @nofilterwithzack went through the exhibits presented at Jen Shah’s trial and pulled out text messages that were evidence against her, but they don’t look good.
The text above was sent on 6th October 2017 and referred to a woman asking for a refund. Here is the text:
“Should I pay this woman back?”
“Or are you done crying and ready to move on?”
“Reyes, did you get closer to the ladies???”

From December 4, 2017, here is the text to Assistant Stuart, who pleaded guilty in November 2021:
“So I flew to Palm Springs this morning, met with the guy, and flew back.
“We have 12,000 square feet of facilities in Cypress and Kosovo.”
“Yeah, we have to minimize the risk.”
“That way you can run this for a long time”
Other texts from 2018 have Jen complaining about “customers.”
“We have been calling him every day and no answer. He is really sick and he is 85.”
“If she’s in love with you, make sure she loves you for at least 16 weeks so she doesn’t return the bill.lol.”
“And what makes me so angry is this slimy snippet that a customer recorded of our pitch.”

Texts from 2018 and 2019 talk about deleting evidence and communicating through more private apps.
“Conan should take him to his office and take the fucking king’s computer from there.”
“Lack of risk and information in the office”
“I told Conan to delete the Viber sales group he set up.”
“Please remove sales scripts from Google Drive…”
“I told Crystal to download Telegram so I can have all the reps download Telegram too so they can delete their Viber account .”
There is also a text to Stuart before testifying in 2018:
“We’ll send all your questions and answers together in an Excel document. You can start practicing today.”
“I emailed you… save it to your laptop and delete the email”
“Please answer I don’t know, I don’t remember, I don’t know. If I don’t know, I don’t know.”
“Sharyev helps us with questions that we don’t know how to answer or phrase. I have a list to ask him.”
The final test seems very bad for Kochi Shah, who has never had anything to do with Jen’s business. As we all know, Jen will serve 78 months in prison and pay over $6 million in damages.
It looks like Jen won’t be on season 4 of RHOSLC, otherwise she’ll be bound, so if the show is still running in about 6 years, she’ll pay Jen a guaranteed contract .
Tune in to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City on Bravo on Wednesday at 9pm ET.
