I don't think she's the wizard, I think she's the Wicked Witch of the West."
"She did say in a couple of her interviews that she's the Wizard of Oz," Johnson said. She’s actually worse off-screen," said Johnson, who was employed by Shah from March 2020 until he left in January 2021. "Every scene, she’s like, screaming, and in real life there are moments where she’s always screaming. Just weeks before her arrest, leaked video and audio clips surfaced on social media of Shah verbally attacking her employees, including fashion designer Koa Johnson.
In addition to her lifestyle, Shah is known for her meltdowns, breakdowns and explosive arguments between her, other castmates and even her own staff members.
"We were all scratching our heads thinking, 'How does she make her money?'" Cesie Alvarez, an attorney and co-host of the podcast "The Bravo Docket," told ABC News. This obscurity left many "Real Housewives" fans and critics puzzled at her extravagant lifestyle. Throughout her time on the show and in interviews, Shah remained vague about her job, mentioning once during an interview that she "runs a lot of different companies and businesses" without going into detail. "I think in the beginning, fans thought she was making lots of money for that lifestyle, but over time things didn’t add up," said Dana Wilkey, who appeared on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and now runs a podcast, "Dishing Drama with Dana Wilkey UNCENSORED." On the show, Shah is known for throwing extravagant parties, wearing designer clothes and living in a mansion called the "Shah Ski Chalet." "Shah and Smith flaunted their lavish lifestyle to the public as a symbol of their 'success.' In reality, they allegedly built their opulent lifestyle at the expense of vulnerable, often elderly, working-class people," Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Peter Fitzhugh said after Shah and Smith’s arrest. Like many of its counterpart franchises, the "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" is known for portraying the lavish lifestyles of its cast members. "She is going to have a hard time attacking his credibility because they were best of buddies until the arrest." Lavish lifestyle and eruptions "Stuart knows where the bodies are buried and I think that if he testifies, that's gonna be a devastating witness for her," criminal defense attorney Ronald Richards told ABC News Studios. But his guilty plea could now spell trouble.
On the "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," Shah has said that Smith is more than a just a business partner and has made a point of noting his loyalty to her. There's just no way that Jen has the ability to be harmful or hurtful or disrespectful." Shah maintains innocence, Smith changes pleaĪlthough Shah, her family and friends have maintained her innocence since her arrest, Stuart Smith, Shah’s so-called "first assistant" on the show, changed his plea to guilty on all three of the charges brought against him on Nov. "The Jen Shah that I know is a woman who has come from a culture that is deeply rooted in honesty, loyalty and hard work. "This is the most difficult time for our entire family," Vincent said. Shah’s aunt, Lehua Vincent, told ABC News Studios she believes Shah is innocent and said she could never see her niece committing such a villainous crime. In a letter to Stein in July, federal prosecutors said Shah and Smith were among the " Tier A" conspirators in the government’s case, alleging they were "responsible for orchestrating the broader scheme" and supplied "leads that sustained sales floors." Shah pleaded not guilty in April to charges of conspiring to commit wire fraud and conspiring to commit money laundering through telemarketing.
