Andy Cohen has spoken, and when the king of Bravo makes a declaration, we hear.
Earlier than a current taping of Watch What Occurs Stay, the Bravo boss was doing a Q&A with viewers members when a query got here up about the way forward for two notorious Actual Housewives of Salt Lake Metropolis alums: Jen Shah and Monica Garcia.
With out skipping a beat, Andy made his emotions very clear.
“Jen Shah – I by no means need to see once more,” he stated bluntly.
Yikes.
Whereas some former Housewives find yourself again within the Bravo fold after a scandal or hiatus (by no means say by no means in actuality TV, proper?), it appears Jen Shah is firmly off the listing. Completely.
In Case You Forgot…
Jen Shah, 51, was one of many authentic solid members on The Actual Housewives of Salt Lake Metropolis, showing on the present for its first three seasons. However her actuality TV reign got here to a screeching halt when she was convicted in an enormous telemarketing fraud scheme that particularly focused aged and susceptible individuals throughout the U.S.
The U.S. Justice Division described the operation as a nationwide ploy that raked in hundreds of {dollars} from unsuspecting victims. In 2023, Jen was sentenced to six.5 years in jail. She’s at present serving time at Bryan Federal Jail Camp in Texas — and has already had her sentence lowered greater than as soon as. Because it stands, she’s scheduled for launch on August 20, 2026.
A Bravo Chapter Closed
Andy Cohen has all the time walked a tough line between being a Bravo exec and the pleasant face viewers (and Housewives) love. However in the case of Jen, he’s drawing a agency boundary, and making it recognized to followers that her chapter is closed.
So, should you have been hoping for a jail redemption storyline or a shock cameo à la Final Women Journey… don’t maintain your breath.
