Shah Said That She Received ‘Legal Advice’ Not to Attend the RHOSLC Season 3 Reunion

After speculation about Shah’s whereabouts during the taping hit a fever pitch, she decided to release a statement about her decision not to attend.

“On September 14, 2022, I was informed by Bravo executives that I was not invited to attend the season three reunion. I was disappointed because I would have no venue to confront inaccuracies and address my storyline with cast members. Out of nowhere, on November 29, two and a half weeks ago, I was invited to attend. I was elated to learn I would now have a voice at Reunion,” Shah wrote in a statement shared on Instagram.

“I was clear with Bravo that out of respect for the courts and a standing judicial order, I would not be in a position to discuss anything related to my legal case or sentencing. Bravo found this unsatisfactory and said they expected to discuss the ‘storyline’. That expectation has no regard for me or my family’s well-being; so under legal advice, I will not be attending reunion. I need to focus on the most important thing in my life-my family,” Shah added.

Shah turned the comments off on the Instagram post.

Shah Was Not Invited to BravoCon 2022

BravoJen Shah “crashed” BravoCon 2022, according to Tamra Judge.

Shah was not invited to BravoCon 2022, though she did show up to the convention anyway. According to Tamra Judge, Shah showed up at her hotel room telling everyone that “she’s not going to jail and it’s all good,” the RHOC star told Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap.”

Judge also said that Shah tried to “crash” “Watch What Happens Live” but was stopped by security.

Interestingly, however, Cohen said that he would be interested in sitting down with Shah because he has “a lot of questions for her.” During the “Ask Andy” panel at BravoCon on October 16, 2022, someone asked Cohen why Shah wasn’t present.

“Once we wrapped [and] she pled guilty, I think that was kind of, unfortunately, the end of, you know, the engagement there,” Cohen explained, adding, “but I hope to sit down with her and talk to her at some point on camera.”

He didn’t get that chance at the reunion and, based on Shah’s statement, he may not get that chance in the future.
