Jen Shah could also be spending the subsequent half-decade behind bars after pleading responsible to committing wire fraud as a part of a telemarketing scheme, however earlier than she reported to Bryan Federal Jail Camp in Texas final February, she had a VERY attention-grabbing supply on the desk!

In accordance with the US Solar, the 50-year-old Actual Housewives of Salt Lake Metropolis star was requested to contemplate a derivative following her run on that present earlier than she landed in jail!

After studying of the spinoff supply that had been doled out by the Actual Housewives-laden community, the information org requested Shah’s rep if there was any fact to the declare. And he confirmed it! Straight-up, the rep mentioned Jen was supplied the possibility for a Bravo spinoff a couple of 12 months in the past:

“Bravo did supply Jen a mini-series in January 2023.”

Whoa!

Actually, that’s sensible enterprise on the a part of Andy Cohen and the Bravo staff. In any case, this supply occurred only a couple weeks earlier than Jen reported to federal jail to start serving her six-and-a-half-year sentence (which was later decreased by a 12 months). Jen’s arrival at a federal slammer within the Lone Star State was (and nonetheless is, TBH) actually massive information. No marvel Bravo needed to get her speaking about it on digicam!

However there was one BIG downside: Jen didn’t wish to allow them to edit her life story like that! Per Shah’s rep, manufacturing firm Shed Media — which makes a whole lot of Bravo fare, together with THAT notorious ill-fated season of Actual Housewives Final Women Journey — needed to movie Jen in a approach that “would have adopted her day-to-day” life. Nevertheless, Shah learn the contracts rigorously earlier than agreeing to do the spinoff, and she or he didn’t like what she present in them! In the end, Jen declined to leap on board as a result of the contract had Bravo retaining last edit rights on every little thing! The rep defined:

“[Jen declined] because of the exclusivity and misrepresentations clause in her settlement that Andy [Cohen] was adamant in preserving. … [Bravo] may freely edit something they need in her story.”

Hey, that’s how actuality TV works, proper?? However after showing on RHOSLC for therefore lengthy previous to jail, Jen knew how the sport was performed. And she or he wasn’t eager on taking part in it like that any longer!

As Perezcious readers could recall, practically a 12 months in the past, Jen took to her Instagram web page weeks earlier than reporting to jail. In an announcement revealed on January 19 of final 12 months, she wrote a protracted missive that included this key passage:

“I cannot be doing the 1:1 with Andy Cohen and Bravo due to their unwillingness to take away contractual provisions that enable the community to legally make misrepresentations of me and my story, regarding any and all matters, previous to and in the course of the course of my participation.”

You may re-read her full put up from final January HERE, however mainly, she was alluding to the identical problem that’s now popping out relating to the spinoff supply: she needed management over how her story was portrayed, Bravo didn’t wish to give it, and so they couldn’t strike a deal. Unhappy! We’re certain it might have made GREAT tv!

For his half, days after Jen’s IG put up about declining the interview again in January of 2023, Cohen hopped onto his Radio Andy present and mentioned he was “over it” relating to Shah’s supposedly extreme interview calls for:

“I did wish to do a one on one along with her. I don’t care about it anymore. I’m over it. Her stipulations have been insane. I do know she needed to do a docuseries of her days main as much as jail. She needed some huge cash and she or he was nonetheless professing her innocence, so it might have been one other interview of her sitting throughout from me, mendacity to my face, which we bought at two reunions from her.”

So, clearly his perspective was fairly totally different than the POV coming from Jen’s staff. How does that quote go once more? “There are three sides to each story: yours, mine, and the reality?” Yeah, THAT! LOLz!

Even with the spinoff lifeless and gone, it’s not like RHOSLC hasn’t seen a s**t load of drama after Jen’s incarceration anyhow. For one, there was this most up-to-date season’s bombshell revelations about solid member Heather Homosexual‘s mysterious and unsettling black eye that appeared again in season three, and whether or not Jen was the one who could have dished it out. And who may neglect this week’s jaw-dropping revelation about solid member Monica Garcia‘s alleged IG trolling of her fellow solid members by means of a fiery Finsta account that was initially set as much as take down Jen?! A lot dramz!!

Come to think about it, with all these sordid tales floating across the RHOSLC universe, possibly Kim Kardashian actually ought to play Shah in a biopic! Ha! Simply saying!

What do U make of the spinoff revelation, tho, Perezcious readers?! Would U have liked to see a mini-series following Jen’s life proper earlier than reporting to jail or what?? Sound OFF along with your ideas on the matter down within the feedback (under)!
