The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star announced on Instagram that she would not honor Cohen’s request for a sit-down conversation.
“On January 6, I stood before Judge Stein and asked him to see me not as a fictional character, but as the real Jen Shah. I am now at a point, legally, emotionally and mentally, where I can answer questions and provide some unknown details about my case. I want and need to share this critical fact. I owe it to those who love and support me to hear the truth,” Shah wrote.
