New video shows the emotional moment Jen Shah reunited with her family after she was released from prison Wednesday morning.
Footage captured by ABC’s “Nightline” showed the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” alum as she took turns hugging three men who appeared to be her husband, Sharrieff Shah, and their two sons, Sharrieff Jr., 31, and Omar, 21.
In the clip, Jen, 52, appeared to be wearing her gray prison sweats as she carried her belongings in a plastic bin toward her parked ride.
After their emotional reunion, the party of four got into a black car and drove away from the facility.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson confirmed to Page Six earlier on Wednesday that Jen was released from federal prison after serving less than half of her six-and-a-half-year sentence.
The Bravoleb was then “transferred” from the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, to “community confinement overseen by the Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) Phoenix Residential Reentry Management (RRM) Office.”
The spokesperson explained that community confinement “means the inmate is in either home confinement or a Residential Reentry Center (RRC, or halfway house).”
While she’s no longer behind bars, Jen will be required to adhere to five years of post-release supervision, which includes drug and alcohol testing.
She will also reportedly participate in an outpatient mental health program and continue to take prescribed medication.
Jen was sentenced to time in prison in January 2023 — nearly two years after she was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Jen was also ordered to to forfeit $6.5 million in assets and pay as much in restitution to her victims, which she still owes.
She reported to prison on Feb. 17, 2023.
During her incarceration, Jen’s sentence was reduced nearly a handful of times for good behavior.
