The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah will be released from a federal Texas prison in a matter of days.
Shah, 52, has been serving time at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas — the same prison where convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes are being held — since February 2023 after pleading guilty to committing wire fraud in July 2022.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has approved a December 10 release date, a further reduction of Shah’s six-and-a-half-year sentence.
“Everyone's very grateful for the BOP's decision, especially because it means Jen will be able to reunite with her family for the holidays,” Shah's manager, Chris Giovanni, told People. “It's a gift she doesn't take for granted.”
“Jen's in a really positive, hopeful place mentally,” he added. “She's done a lot of reflecting and real growth during her time away, and is genuinely not the same woman as she was before. Her focus is on her family and building a healthier, more grounded life. She understands the seriousness of the mistakes she made and is excited to put this chapter behind her so that she can show everyone the woman she's worked hard to become.”
Shah’s arrest was widely publicized and caught on cameras while she was filming season two of the hit Bravo reality TV show.
