Jen Shah is working hard as she prepares for her March 2022 fraud trial.
According to a new report, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, who is facing 50 years behind bars after being accused of money laundering and fraud, is set to host a party at Larry Flynt Hustler Club, a strip club in New York City, on Friday, October 22.
“Shah was eager to host an event with us the moment we approached her team,” a rep for the venue told Page Six on October 16, adding that Jen will be “receiving a large sum [of money] in exchange for her appearance, most likely enough to put a dent in her legal bills.”
Although Jen’s exact payday was not confirmed, she will reportedly be paid within the “tens of thousands” for participating in meet-and-greets and signing autographs for fans. She’ll also be getting a mention on stage from adult film star Alexis Monroe, who will be celebrating her birthday at the event.
As RHOSLC fans may recall, Jen was arrested with assistant Stuart Smith in March as filming began on the currently airing second season.
While Jen has decided to plead not guilty, things seemingly took a turn for the worse for her after it was revealed that her assistant Stuart had taken a plea deal in August amid speculation he will likely turn on her. Even more, her big attorneys left her case, and she was left to hire a smaller practitioner.
For the time being, Jen is prepared to go to trial, and she faces up to 50 years if convicted.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season two airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
