Jen Shah’s post about the truth after sentencing has some wondering if a conspiracy is happening. Even more, Jen deleted the post just as soon as she put it up. However, many already saw and grabbed the quote before she deleted it. Read on to find out what she posted.
Jen Shah Deletes Post About Truth
“There’s something about a woman with a loud mind that sits in silence, smiling knowing she can crush you with the truth,” the now-former The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star posted on her Instagram story on Wednesday, January 18.
Jen posted — and quickly deleted — the cryptic message about “the truth” after being sentenced to federal prison for six-and-a-half years.
Since Jen’s arrest in March 2021, she aggressively maintained her innocence to family, friends, co-stars, and the public. However, she changed her plea to guilty in July 2022 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Jen set up a nationwide telemarketing scheme that targeted thousands of people, predominantly the elderly. She was sentenced in a New York City courtroom on January 6 after her sentencing date was postponed several times. After the hearing, her attorney, Priya Chaudry, said Jen “deeply regrets” her mistakes and is “profoundly sorry” to those she hurt.
Priya also promised that the former reality TV star would serve her sentence and pay restitution to her victims once free.
A tearful Jen also apologized to her family and the victims for her actions before Judge Sidney Stein gave his sentence. It included over $6 million in restitution in addition to Jen’s six-and-a-half years.
Prosecutors Not Certain Jen Is Remorseful
Even as Jen apologized and made her promises in court, Assistant US Attorney Robert Sobelman had doubts. The prosecutor, who represented the federal government during the case, said of the media personality:
Robert claimed that Jen was not remorseful even when she pleaded guilty. He also pointed to a “text message” that showed Shah “laughing” about one of her victims — “an 80-year-old woman” — who wouldn’t “stop crying.”
Additionally, the US attorney claimed that “every cooperator” they interviewed identified Shah as the leader of the conspiracy.
Jen proved his theories right when hours after the sentencing, the mother of two went out with friends. Jen, facing a maximum of 14 years behind bars, celebrated with a group of 20 at an Italian hotspot. She is scheduled to surrender on February 17 and must enter a mental health treatment program once released.
Jen’s post about the truth is interesting. That she deleted it just as quickly also raises questions. Whatever it is, hopefully, she is genuinely remorseful for her actions.
