RHOSLC’s Jen Shah wants to hire Kim Kardashian as lawyer after she’s accused of stealing millions in telemarketing scam
REAL Housewives of Salt Lake City's Jen Shah wants to hire Kim Kardashian as her lawyer after she was accused of stealing millions from the elderly in a telemarketing fraud.
Jen, 48, is currently facing up to 30 years in prison for her involvement in the scandal.
“People thought I was joking around when I was like, 'Do we need to add Kim Kardashian to our legal team?'
“I was dead a** 100 serious. Dead a**.”
The Bravo star added that she “mad respect” for Kim as she continues to pursue her legal career despite hitting multiple roadblocks.
Jen added of the SKIMS mogul: “She has been able to be an advocate and affect change for people who have been wrongly accused of crimes.
"They’re innocent and then she has been able to help be part of the movement to, you know, go fight for them at the White House or with [the] government to get them released.”

JEN'S ARREST
Back in March, Jen was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a "telemarketing scheme."
In addition to Jen, police arrested her assistant, Stuart Smith - who was also featured on the Bravo show.
Jen spoke about having the legal drama unfold while filming RHOSLC during the show's recent reunion.
She told host Andy Cohen: "Honestly this is devastating for me personally and more so for my family."
Jen shares two sons- Sharrieff Shah Jr. and Omar- with husband Sharieff.
LAW SCHOOL VICTORY
Back in December, Kim revealed she passed the baby bar after failing the test three times.
The "baby bar" - officially known as the First-Year Law Students’ Examination - is an exam taken by students not attending accredited law schools, and comes before the main bar exam which will allow them to practice law in California.
Alongside a photo of her modeling a blue bodysuit, Kim wrote: "OMFG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!!
"Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection."
HARD WORK
She continued: "For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me.
"I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses)."

Kim then explained how in California, the way that she's decided to study, you have to take "2 bar exams", and although "this was just the first one" it had the "harder pass rate."
She added that she "was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route" but it was her only option in her goal of becoming an attorney.
