Meredith Marks Says 'RHOSLC' Must 'Move On' Without Jen Shah After Guilty Plea
Jen Shah pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud won't impact the future of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," according to Meredith Marks.
In a recent interview with People, Meredith admitted she was "very shocked" when Jen pled guilty in July after maintaining her innocence to cast members.
Although Jen's scheduled sentencing in 2023 will affect her status as a cast member, Meredith believes Jen can be replaced, and the Bravo reality series can continue.
"It's not like a question mark. There's no question mark about that," Meredith told the outlet. Meredith said the show continued after the departure of Mary Crosby earlier this year.
"Mary [Cosby] was a huge part of the show. You move forward. And I assume they'll have some new people, I don't really know, but you have to move on. There's nothing we can do. It's life."
While Meredith claimed she has been "a good friend" to Jen, she admitted that she does not know the details behind Jen's guilty plea.
"She really can't talk about any of the reasoning behind why she went down that path, nor would I ask her," Meredith explained.
"Because I don't want to implicate myself in a federal investigation, contrary to what everyone else thinks, it's not really my vibe. So I don't really understand how we got to where we are right now. And eventually, I hope that I do understand."
On the latest episodes of "RHOSLC" Season 3, Jen has been in several arguments with cast members over their loyalty amid her legal troubles.
During an argument with co-stars Lisa Barlow and Heather Gay on Wednesday's episode, Jen criticized the women for not being "ride or die" friends.
However, Lisa shared several tweets that appeared to be about Jen throughout the night. "Ride or die ..... is dead #overused," Lisa wrote.
Lisa later appeared to throw another indirect jab at Jen after she noted that Jen lashes out at friends and expects them to stick around despite her behavior. "Cycle of abuse is over," Lisa tweeted.
"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" Season 3 airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
