Talk Show host Andy Cohen has spoken out in the aftermath of Jen Shah’s guilty plea to fraud charges.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: Andy Cohen Angry By Jen Shah’s Guilty Plea-‘I’m Upset That She Lied For So Long’
Ever since the allegations first emerged, Jen maintained that she was innocent. So much so that she vowed to prove her detractors wrong. So the fact that she has now entered a guilty plea suggests that the evidence mounted against her cannot be disproven.
After all, if she had nothing to hide, then there would be no reason for her to do this, irrespective of whether she is looking to get a lighter sentence. With that being said, Andy was left disappointed by her behaviour.
In his comments, he said: “I’m upset, and I’m especially upset for her victims. I’m upset that she lied for so long and claimed to me that she was an example of someone being wrongly accused.”
As a result, Jen’s future on the show has to be questioned. First of all, Andy is a producer on the franchise. Therefore, he may have reservations about working with her coupled with the other housewives.
Secondly, if Jen has admitted her girl, then the chances of her being able to maintain any credibility on the show is very slim. Lastly, in any event, if she does end up being convicted, then that removes the possibility anyway.
The fans on social media were equally outraged by Jen’s conduct. A large proportion of fans felt that her guilty plea was the final nail in the coffin, and they did not foresee a future for her on the show.
One person wrote: “I cannot understand why @TheRealJenShah isn’t fired . You literally will fire people old tweets , she stole money from the elderly and she keeps her job . Something doesn’t seem right.”
Time will tell if Jen can manage to keep her future on the show, but given everything that we have seen so far, things are not looking very good for her. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
