“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” alum Jen Shah completed her prison sentence on Friday after serving 33 months federal prison for fraud charges.
“Today, I feel blessed. I feel free. And I’m excited to see what happens next,” the reality star told the Hollywood Reporter Friday.
“Today marks the official completion of my sentence and the closing of a chapter that changed my life and my family forever.”
In her statement, Shah admitted she “made decisions that had serious consequences, and I accept those consequences.”
Shah also said that during her prison stint, she took the time to “revaluate” her choices and the people she let into her life.
“I can see those things today in a way I couldn’t then, and I take responsibility for the decisions that were mine.”
As she completes her prison sentence, Shah told the outlet, “Today, more than anything, I feel grateful, hopeful and genuinely excited about the future.”
The former Bravo star insisted that there is a lot people don’t know about her story, “including the reasons behind some of the most difficult decisions [she] made,” but that she isn’t interested in “relitigating the past.”
Shah continued, “I’m ready to work. I’m ready to create. I’m ready to laugh, have meaningful conversations, reconnect with people and build things I’m proud of. There are projects ahead that I’m incredibly excited about, and I’ll share more when the time is right.”
As Page Six previously reported, Shah was arrested in March 2021 and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
She initially pleaded not guilty to both charges, however, she changed her plea to guilty for the first charge in July 2022.
In January 2023, Shah was sentenced to six and a half years in prison.
