Jen Shah To Star In ‘Real Housewives’ After Guilty Plea? Andy Cohen REACTS!

Jen Shah became known on “Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City” (RHOSLC) for her fondness for flaunting her wealth. However, the RHOSLC star dodged questions about how she made that money. As a result, the news that Jen got charged with fraud dominated celebrity headlines. But Shah repeatedly pleaded innocent until recently.

And now that Jen has entered a guilty plea, fans want to know if she will star in “Real Housewives” again. But many also remain riveted on another factor in the scandal: Andy Cohen. Find out everything to know including the Bravo maestro’s reaction below!

Andy Cohen REACTS To Jen Shah Pleading Guilty!

From reunions to casting, Bravo’s leading man Andy Cohen became famed as the ultimate ruler of “Real Housewives.” As a result, Jen Shah’s sudden switch from innocent to guilty turned the spotlight on Cohen. And now the 54-year-old TV and radio show host has responded, per Page Six.

However, those assuming Andy would play it safe got a shock to his strong reaction! For instance, the SiriusXM Show host admitted he feels betrayed. “And I’m especially upset for her victims,” added Cohen. But he also noted that Jen blatantly lied to him. “I’m upset that she lied for so long and claimed to me that she was an example of someone being wrongly accused,” stated the blunt Bravo maestro.

And Andy also admitted Shah convinced him to think she deserved a trial to prove her innocence. “Because, frankly, you get to know someone and you get to like them,” noted Cohen. As a result, he feels strongly that “the audience, especially those who supported her and stood by her,” will have questions. And he added, “I really hope to get the opportunity to speak with her and to ask those questions.”

Jen Shah To Star In ‘Real Housewives’ Again Amid Guilty Plea?!

The RHOSLC star’s guilty plea took place exactly one week before the trial date. And fans felt shocked when Jen entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud via telemarketing. However, they will need to wait until November 2022 to learn her sentencing. But when that date arrives, Shah could receive as long as 30 years in prison.

And Jen plans to do all she can to reduce the penalty. For instance, her plea deal asked to lower the penalty to 11 to 14 years. But the fact that Shah first pleaded not guilty to allegedly cheating hundreds of elderly victims continues to haunt her. As a result, some assumed that Andy Cohen would kick her off the show. However, People cited an insider who dropped a bombshell.

And though Jen’s legal woes remain a problem, her scandal remains part of her RHOSLC story line, noted the insider. As a result, producers reportedly plan to film her. And they “don’t want us to stop following it now.” Consequently, the source predicted the crew will continue to film with Shah just as with Teresa [Giudice].

Jen Shah’s Attorney: ‘A Good Woman Who Crossed A Line’!

However, Shah’s attorney tried to put a positive spin on the situation. And calling Jen a “good woman who crossed a line,” the lawyer issued Shah’s apology. “She accepts full responsibility for her actions and deeply apologizes to all who have been harmed,” added attorney Priya Chaudhry. “Jen pled guilty because she wants to pay her debt to society and put this ordeal behind her and her family.”

The insider also teased what could happen on the third season of RHOSLC. And the source hinted that the show will reveal some supporting Jen despite her guilty plea. For instance, her co-stars Meredith [Marks] and Heather [Gay] reportedly stand by her side. And the two remain “very supportive of their friend during a difficult time,” added the insider. “Obviously her legal troubles have not been easy for Jen, let alone making this decision to plead guilty.”
