'Can crush you with the truth': Jen Shah posts cryptic message to haters after getting 78 months in prison
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: Jen Shah was recently given a sentence of 78 months in federal prison and five years of closely monitored parole, which would include legal mental health care. The star of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' is reportedly choosing to stick by her own truth and 'crush' her critics with it in the face of all the legal difficulties.
On Tuesday, January 17, 2023, the 'RHOSLC' star turned to Instagram to share a cryptic post, most likely addressed at her haters. "There's something about a woman with a loud mind that sits in silence, smiling knowing she can crush you with the truth," the Instagram story read. The quote loosely translates to the fact that a woman may be hurt, angry, or upset by anything you say or do. Rather than venting, she chooses to keep her emotions hidden and withhold them from you. If she decides to remain silent, it might signify a variety of things; she either feels frustrated or misunderstood. Jen's post, while not specifically directed at anybody, might reflect how she has been torn down by those around her amidst prison sentencing.
