Jenn Shah’s Team Says There Are No Hard Feelings with Bravo; Andy Cohen Disagrees
In 2023, Jenn Shah was sentenced to prison for her part in a wire fraud scheme that targeted elderly and vulnerable people. Bravo parted ways with the reality TV star following her sentencing, with season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiering without her. Jenn Shah’s prison sentence will be wrapping up soon, so naturally, fans want to know if she’ll ever return to Bravo. Andy Cohen recently gave a definitive answer. Shah’s team responded.
Andy Cohen has made his feelings on Jenn Shah known
Andy Cohen is not known for hiding his feelings pretty much ever. The Bravo executive is never afraid to clarify which housewives he likes and which ones are on his bad side at any given moment; Jenn Shah, apparently, will be on his bad side forever.
During a recent taping of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen got to chatting with audience members during a break. One audience member asked Cohen his thoughts about Jenn Shah. He quickly replied, “Jenn Shah – I never want to see you again.” Queens of Bravo shared the video on X (formerly Twitter).
Cohen didn’t clarify if her arrest or something else entirely had him hoping to never set eyes on her again. While the arrest and conviction are enough, there are also rumors of difficult on-set behavior prior to her arrest. Shah is the only original cast member not currently appearing on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Her team has responded
While Andy Cohen made his feelings known, not everyone was amused by his emphatic and somewhat dramatic response. While Shah can’t reply herself at the moment, her team has been overseeing her social media and has prepared a rebuttal to Cohen’s burn.
Shah’s management team took to her Instagram stories to say, “A respectful conversation has already been had with Bravo behind the scenes, and there are no hard feelings.” The use of the term “respectful” appears to be a direct dig at Cohen. His response to the question was anything but respectful.
Despite the decision to clap back, it doesn’t look like Shah has any plans to return to Bravo. The fact that she’s kept a management team on ice all this time, however, does seem to indicate she’s planning a public comeback of some kind, though. She’s never hinted at what that could be. She also never suggested she’d return to Bravo.
When is Jenn Shah being released?
We suspect that Jenn Shah has a plan in place that doesn’t include Bravo for when she is released from jail, although we don’t yet know what it is. It will be a bit before we find out what she might have up her sleeve, though. While Shah’s release date is drawing near, it’s not here just yet. She is scheduled to be released on August 30, 2026. That date, however, is subject to change. In fact, it’s changed several times since she was incarcerated in 2023.
Shah, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 2023, was sentenced to more than six years in prison in January 2023. She began serving the sentence immediately, with her release date scheduled for sometime in 2029. In March 2023, just a few months after arriving at Bryan Federal Prison Camp, her sentence was reduced. A new release date of August 2028 was set. The Bureau of Prisons has reduced her sentence twice since then for good behavior.
