• Jen Shah will not be attending the season three reunion of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City”.
• The reality star’s legal issues have received a lot of attention.
• She pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in July.

Jen Shah explained on Instagram why she won’t be appearing with co-stars Whitney Rose, Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, and Meredith Marks on this season’s reunion special while she awaits the outcome of her federal fraud case on January 6.

“On September 14, 2022, I was informed by Bravo executives that I was not invited to attend the season three reunion,” she wrote in a Dec. 16 Instagram statement. “I was disappointed. Because I would have no venue to confront inaccuracies and address my storyline with cast members.”

Jen’s ongoing legal issues have received a lot of attention in Season three, which was shot before she entered a plea to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering on July 11. She could be sentenced to up to 30 years in jail when it happens early next year.

However, Jen goes on to state that she was later invited “out of nowhere” to attend the reunion on Nov. 29, adding, “I was elated to learn I would now have a voice at the reunion.”

“That expectation has no regard for me or my family’s well-being,” she concluded her post. “So under legal advice, I will not be attending the reunion. I need to focus on the most important thing in my life—my family.”

Her reunion absence and upcoming sentencing may put her role on the show at risk. But as Jen’s co-star and BFF Heather questioned in an exclusive interview with E! News, “Is there a show without Jen Shah?”

“That is the smallest thing, blip on her radar right now,” Heather continued, “so I’m trying not to let it cloud my thoughts either. I’m just thinking of her taking accountability, getting this started and over with so that she can rebuild her life.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Catch up on past episodes streaming now on Peacock.
