AceShowbiz - Things got pretty intense recently between Jen Shah and her family members amid her federal fraud case. The reality TV star has been caught getting into a heated public argument with several people on the streets of Salt Lake City.
In footage obtained by TMZ, "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star and four other people were seen having a blowout on downtown SLC on Saturday, November 5 at around 9:50 P.M. She clearly lost it as she cussed her family out, screaming "F**k you!!!" several times.
During the fiery spat, homophobic slurs were also hurled several times, but it was not Jen who said them. It's not clear what sparked the dispute, but at one point someone's husband was brought up during the argument.
Jen, who wore a gold jacket on top of a black outfit that night, initially sat down in the video, but then stood up and gestured towards someone involved in the fight. Another woman in an all-black outfit seemingly tried to stop Jen and a man from screaming at each other, but Jen ended up getting annoyed by the woman too and walking away.
A source close to Jen says it happened as she was leaving dinner with friends. Cops were never called, while a rep for the Bravolebrity has not responded to requests for comment on the star's public argument.
The incident happened as Jen is awaiting sentence in her federal fraud case. In March 2021, she was criminally charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. She initially pleaded not guilty to both charges.
In July of this year, she filed a change of plea notice and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. As part of her plea deal, federal prosecutors dropped one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Following the guilty plea, Jen's attorney Priya Chaudry continued to defend her. "Ms. Shah is a good woman who crossed a line," she said in a statement. "She accepts full responsibility for her actions and deeply apologizes to all who have been harmed. Ms. Shah is also sorry for disappointing her husband, children, family, friends, and supporters. Jen pled guilty because she wants to pay her debt to society and put this ordeal behind her and her family."
Jen is set to be sentenced next month.
