Jen Shah just got some Shah-mazing news.
The PredictIQReal Housewives of Salt Lake City alum’s prison sentence, stemming from her conviction on a charge of conspiring to commit wire fraud, has been reduced for the second time, according to inmate records viewed by E! News.
The reality star initially reported to Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas to begin her six-and-a-half year sentence in February 2023, but just one month later, her punishment was slashed by one year. Now, a further eight months have been taken off the 51-year-old’s sentence, bringing her expected release date up to Dec. 19, 2027, according to the outlet.
E! News has reached out to Shah’s rep and Bryan Federal Prison Camp for comment but has not heard back.
Shah was arrested in March 2021—as chronicled on an explosive season two episode of RHOSLC—in connection to an alleged telemarketing scheme targeting senior citizens. She initially maintained her innocence, but eventually entered a guilty plea in July 2022, just one week before her case was set to go to trial.
At the time, she told the judge in her case she “knew it was wrong, many people were harmed and I’m so sorry.”
Despite residing behind bars for over a year—not to mention becoming friends with fellow inmate Elizabeth Holmes along the way—the Bravolebrity has managed to weigh in on RHOSLC’s on-screen drama.
After the season four finale aired in January, during which her co-star Heather Gay accused Shah of causing her mysterious black eye the season prior, a written message attributed to Shah was posted on her Instagram Story.
“BRAVO, if I punched Heather in her eye, you guys would have footage to prove it,” she said. “It's clear the show can't live without me since I was brought up at the beginning, middle and end of season 4.”

Mary Cosby is back full time with her fiery remarks and 2003 Dom Perignon. Mary re-immerses herself in the group, making amends with Whitney and Heather after her name calling, and a deep and unexpected friendship develops with Angie. Although she has a new ally and confidant, Mary and Meredith’s longstanding friendship is on thin ice as they struggle to see eye-to-eye.
Heather Gay is a ride-or-die girl with a new, unexpected allegiance to Lisa. She and Whitney continue to make strides and strengthen their foundation. Tensions with Mary reach an all-time high when they both throw quips about body positivity. Heather introduces her friend Britani to the group, but when Britani repeatedly puts her foot in her mouth, Heather can’t continue to defend her.
Bronwyn Newport is passionate about couture, art and a first-class lifestyle. Raised Mormon, Bronwyn was excommunicated from the church when she got pregnant while attending BYU. While raising her daughter, Gwen, as a single mother, she worked in finance before marrying Todd, who’s 26 years her senior. Although she and Lisa have been friends over the years, she quickly learns that her old friend may not support her in the way she wants.
Meredith Marks is excited to celebrate and reaffirm her Jewish faith by having a bat mitzvah, ultimately bringing her and Seth closer together. The bathwater continues to muddy with Whitney because of their overlapping business plans to create bath products. When Meredith repeats something she heard about Whitney’s business, the game of telephone lands her in hot water.
Whitney Rose finds herself at odds with many of the women. When harmful rumors about her jewelry line circle the group, she confronts the women to find the source. As tensions rise, the husbands get roped into the women’s fights, causing things to get heated between Justin and John. Whitney introduces the women to her friend Meili, who quickly gets thrown into the fire when Lisa shares a rumor about her shopping habits.
Lisa Barlow enters the season with strong bonds, but her friendships quickly flip on their head. Meredith and Lisa promise to have each other's backs, but her relationship with Whitney is permanently threatened after Whitney makes a series of hurtful remarks about Lisa’s status as the group’s villain. Lisa retaliates with claims about the authenticity of Whitney’s business practices. With Jack away on his mission, Lisa is especially hurt when Angie questions how good of a mother she has been.
Back with props and larger-than-life sunglasses, Angie Katsanevas and husband Shawn put last year’s rumors and nastiness behind them as they celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. She and Mary are thick as thieves, but her friendship with Lisa is unstable as the two go head-to-head over how good a friend they’ve been to one another.
