The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah wants her fans to know she’s doing “shahmazng” behind bars.
With help from her publicist, the Bravo star, 51, shared a new update on her life in prison as she continues to serve her sentence for wire fraud.
“Bismillah. I pray that my supporters are SHAHMAZING and doing well,” Shah wrote in a Friday, May 30, letter to her fans. “Over the past month, my team has shared with me the many loving messages provided by my supporters. I’ve heard about the Met Gala references, the infamous GIF of my feet touching the snow in the heels from RHOSLC, and my personal well being.”
Some fans previously stated online that Kim Kardashian’s 2025 Met Gala look was something both Shah and fellow Real Housewives star Luann de Lesseps would wear.
Fashion aside, Shah also confirmed that she is “in great spirits and well” as she shared a rare photo from the Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas.
“I wanted to share a personal image that I mailed to my team of one of my shahmazing workouts,” she said. “I remain consistent in my passion for fitness and helping other inmates achieve similar goals. You will see more soon.”
In the image, Shah was visibly breaking a sweat as she played jump rope in an outdoor space.
“The consistent love and admiration from my supporters, my loving family and my faith keeps me going as I make it through this rehabilitative journey of coming home soon,” she added. “I can only control what I can control.”
In July 2022, Shah pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud after previously entering a not guilty plea.
“I knew this was wrong,” she told a judge during court proceedings. “I knew many people were harmed, and I’m so sorry.”
Us Weekly later confirmed that the Bravo star was sentenced to six and a half years in prison with five years of supervised release.
Since reporting to prison in February 2023, Shah’s prison sentence has been reduced multiple times.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate records, Shah is now scheduled to be released on September 19, 2026, which is nearly two months earlier than expected.
Previously, Us investigated what a typical day is like for Shah and other prisoners at the Bryan Federal Prison Camp. Inmates have a set schedule for weekdays, with a wake-up at 6 a.m and lights out by 10:30 p.m.
The FPC Bryan handbook also stated that physical fitness programs are available as well as wellness classes on topics including nutrition and disease prevention.
