Jen Shah Accused of CRASHING BravoCon To Tell Fans She’s ‘Not Going To jail’

Jen Shah was not invited to BravoCon but that didn’t stop the convicted felon from attempting to crash restricted events reserved for invited Bravolebs.

“Yeah, it was a bit crazy,” Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge revealed to Access Hollywood.

Apparently, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star attempted to attend a Watch What Happens Live taping Friday, October 14, at the Hammerstein Ballroom but was denied entry because of “security.”

Jen Shah, 49, showed up at various BravoCon events in NYC this weekend, only to stand outside and snap photos with fans, to give social media the illusion that she participated in the Bravo inspired convention. Press play below to watch a compilation from Jen’s IG Story this weekend.

 

Jen Shah, 49, arrived uninvited at Tamra Judge’s hotel room, declaring she’s “not going to jail, it’s all good!!”

Tamra spilled to Access Hollywood that, “She did get to the Gansevoort rooftop party and I think she left quickly.”

While Jen’s fraud sentencing is still officially pending, according to Tamra, “[Jen] ain’t going anywhere, she said.”

BravoCon is a fan convention, taking place October 14-16 at the Javits Center in New York City — the event returned for the first time since its inaugural edition in 2019.

Jen Shah’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City costars, Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, and Whitney Rose were all in attendance for the RHOSLC panel Saturday and related parties and events. 

Heather Gay spoke to US Weekly about the drama surrounding her RHOSLC co-star, “What is this crazy rumor? What? Well, Jen Shah doesn’t try to do anything, so if that’s being said, then I would believe it. I did not see her at Watch What Happens Live. Am I fair to answer that? Did not want to implicate myself or others.”

After news broke of Jen’s BravoCon stunt, she took to Twitter late Saturday night to deny rumors she had crashed the festivities and claims she got “paid” for the 3-day event. She tweeted, “Anyone believing I crashed anyones party needs a reality check, I am the party, Also I’m getting paid for Bravocon, stop worrying about where I’m at. If I wasn’t at your event, party or panel then it wasn’t worth my time. Thank you for keeping my name in your mouth and trending.”

Jen Shah was arrested in March 2021 while filming Season 2 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, along with one of her assistants, Stuart Smith, who appeared on the show.

Jen Shah and Stuart Smith were involved in a fraud scheme that involved a telemarketing scam that defrauded “hundreds” of people, many over the age of 55, by selling “lead lists” for fictitious business opportunities.

The reality diva professed her innocence multiple times on the Bravo reality series, however, she has since pleaded guilty to the charges. On July 11, she pled guilty to charges connected to a telemarketing scheme, and now faces several years in prison.

According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, Shah “pled guilty today to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing through which she victimized 10 or more persons over the age of 55, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.”

The reality star also “agreed to forfeit $6.5 million and to pay restitution up to $9.5 million” as part of her guilty plea, per the press release.

The mother of two originally pleaded not guilty and was set for trial on July 18. She is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Sidney H. Stein on December 15.
