GoFundMe Seeking $2.5 Million For 'Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City' Star Jen Shah's Legal Fees Taken Down After Bravo Fans Report Campaign
June 1 2021, Published 1:32 p.m. ET
The GoFundMe launched by the family of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah has been taken down after it was reported as being in violation of the rules.
Over the weekend, Shah’s cousin started a campaign to raise $2.5 million to pay for the Bravo star’s legal fees. At the moment, she is facing federal fraud charges for her role in a long-running telemarketing scam. She entered a plea of not guilty and denies wrongdoing.
Prosecutors say Shah helped screw over the elderly. The scheme included the reality star complying list of leads that she sold to telemarketing companies.
She reportedly knew the company was going to defraud the people on the list and received a cut of the illegal profits. In court documents, the government says there are over a hundred victims involved.
Shah, who has resumed filming season two of RHOSLC, hasn't spoken in detail about the charges against her. Instead, she has focused on posting #TeamShah and calling out her "haters."
It seems the case is costing the reality star quite a bit of money. Her cousin claims Shah and her husband have already spent hundreds of thousands on her lawyers.
