Jen Shah made headlines this week when she was arrested and charged with multiple counts of fraud.

Dramatically, the reality star was in the middle of taping the second season of ‘Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ when the swoop took place.

As reported, Shah’s charges allege that from 2012 until the present, she and her on-screen “assistant” Smith (along with others) ran a telemarketing scheme that defrauded older people by selling “lead lists” business opportunities…that didn’t exist.

After entering a “not guilty” plea, Shah has finally broken her silence on the situation.

If there’s anything more talked about than Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake‘s 2004 Super Bowl performance, it’s the aftermath.

And in recent years much of the critique has fallen at the feet of JT, who has been slammed for leaving the legend out to dry by pressing on with his career unscathed while making no mention of the forces at play that impacted Jackson’s trajectory.

So loud has the backlash been of late that in February Timberlake issued a public apology to the Pop queen and cited racism and sexism as variables his privilege ensured he wasn’t affected by.

And while the diva may have scored a hit with ‘Feedback,’ she didn’t offer JT anything of the sort following his declaration.

Now, his manager has allegedly weighed in.
