Salt Lake City Housewives Seen Filming in New York as Jen Shah Trial Looms

Stars from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City were spotted filming together in New York City this week, ahead of cast member Jen Shah's fraud trial.

A fan took to Instagram to share footage of Shah alongside castmates Heather Gay and Meredith Marks as two cameramen stood in close proximity to them.

The TV personalities were seen admiring Manhattan attraction the Vessel in the seconds-long clip, which was captioned: "Shut the f*** up I did not just run into @heathergay f****** icon."

Gay reposted the fan video, which has also been shared on Twitter, on her own Instagram account on Thursday, as well as a selfie of three posing together.

It isn't clear whether the footage apparently being captured of the women in New York City will be aired on their Bravo reality TV show.

The fun-filled trip for the Utah-based cast comes a matter of days before jury selection is set to begin for Shah's trial in a Manhattan federal court on July 18.

Shah is facing up to 50 years in prison for allegedly scamming hundreds of people through a telemarketing scheme that is said to have targeted the elderly.

The reality star was arrested on fraud and money-laundering charges in March 2021, with footage of her detainment being filmed and airing on the second season of RHOSLC.

Per the New York Post, prosecutors ranked more than two dozen people in the case alleged to be involved in the fraud from the most to the least responsible, with Shah being placed at the top of the highest category.

Shah and the other suspects in her tier were described by prosecutors as the "more senior participants... responsible for orchestrating the broader scheme," according to court documents.

Per the filing, Shah is alleged to have obtained "leads directly from lead sources and provided them to... coaching sales floors operated in Utah and Nevada."

Along with her former assistant, Stuart Smith, Shah was accused of encouraging victims to invest in bogus business services, among other ventures, between 2012 and 2021, spanning across five states: New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.

While Shah and Smith initially entered a not guilty plea, Smith switched his plea to guilty in November 2021.

During a RHOSLC reunion, which was aired in March, Shah, who revealed that she has severed ties with Smith, insisted she was innocent of any wrongdoing as she vowed to fight the charges.

"I'm fighting this. I am innocent," she told franchise host Andy Cohen, per Page Six.

She went on: "I will fight because number one, I'm innocent and number two, I'm going to f****** represent every other person out there that can't fight and hasn't been able to."
