Fans reacted to the sentencing on Twitter and claimed that Jen should have received more years in prison.

As per reports, many fans of Jen Shah and RHOSLC appeared outside the court to support the star on Friday.

Bravo fans have shared their opinion on Twitter regarding Jen Shah’s sentencing. They felt that the RHOSLC star should have received a sentencing of more than 6.5 years for conspiring against old people.

Take a look at fans’ reactions:

Judge Stein sentenced Jen Shah to 6.5 years in prison and ordered her to surrender on Friday, February 17, 2023.

A Twitter account named Inner City Press revealed word-to-word details from the hearing.

After the sentencing, Jen’s attorney Priya Chaudhry issued a statement, which read:

“Jen Shah deeply regrets the mistakes that she has made and is profoundly sorry to the people she has hurt. Jen has faith in our justice system, understands that anyone who breaks the law will be punished, and accepts this sentence as just. Jen will pay her debt to society and when she is a free woman again, she vows to pay her debt to the victims harmed by her mistakes.”

In March 2021, Jen was arrested during the filming of RHOSLC season 2.

Fans may enjoy seeing Jen in season 3 for the final time in the finale episode, which will air the following week, before she is sent to prison. Jen will dramatize her court case in episode 14.

A few days ago, the reality TV star announced that Bravo had disinvited her from the reunion of RHOSLC season 3. Hence, episode 14 will be her last appearance on the show. Only time will tell whether Jen will be part of the Real Housewives franchise after 6.5 years.

Throughout RHOSLC season 3, Jen Shah played her legal case card. The ladies were mostly seen doing things to make Jen feel good before her trial. However, the star treated her cast members in a rude manner most of the time.

In the previous episode, Heather Gay’s black eye was the highlight of the show. The ladies speculated that Jen had something to do with it. In the upcoming episode, a fight will break out between Heather and Jen.

The official synopsis of the season 3 finale reads:

“When Heather is asked about how she got her black eye, a heated argument ensues between her and Jen; at Heather's book cover reveal party, rumours are revealed and tensions rise.”

Unfortunately, Jen will not be part of the reunion episode to explain her mean behavior towards her co-stars. In addition to Jen, the reality TV series also features Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Lisa Barlow, Angie Harrington, Danna Bui-Negrete, and Angie Katsanevas.

RHOSLC season 3 finale (episode 14) will air on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, at 8.00 pm ET on Bravo.
