With two successful seasons under its belt, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has hit the ground running, and Jen Shah is part of the reason why. The unlikely location and group of housewives have charmed viewers, who are now looking forward to the upcoming third season. RHOSLC's Jen's arrest has possibly been the most iconic moment of the show so far.
In the months leading up to the second RHOSLC season, viewers started to see reports of Jen's arrest online, and fans predicted that it would be covered on the show. However, no one was completely sure how much the series would let fans in on. Luckily, what was presented was more than just memorable. In fact, it has become one of the franchise's most quoted, memed, and revisited The Real Housewives moments, because of its sheer chaos, and the way it all unfolded.
When the RHOSLC women met at Heather Gay's Beauty Lab + Laser Car Park, ready to head off on a trip to Vail, none of them expected the antics that would soon begin. It all started when Jen received a phone call, and requested that Whitney Rose turn off her microphone. It wasn't until later that it clicked for Whitney why Jen might want some privacy. When Jen quickly departed, and NYPD Homeland Security arrived on the scene, things got real.
Lisa Barlow immediately got on the phone with her many lawyers, to try and find out more, and make sure that she understood the situation. Something was clearly amiss, and after some tense moments, where the ladies (Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Lisa, and Jennie Nguyen) began to question what could be going on, they decided to hit the road. Whitney, who was now beginning to cotton on to Jen's odd request to have her mic switched off, wasted no time taking to the Internet to see if there was any public information. Sure enough, articles began to surface regarding Jen's arrest for wire fraud and money laundering, and fans always remember Whitney's mortified reaction. They'll also recall the unraveling emotions of the women, as they came to terms with what was going on.
Fans will never forget the Vail getaway, and Jen's arrest, due to the over-the-top drama. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City production team intensified the atmosphere with dark music, as the tension gradually built up. The women were anxious to learn more, and this made for great TV. From an innocent gathering in the Beauty Lab + Laser car park to a full-on investigative van ride, this wild situation had everything that viewers could want.
