The Rich Utah Wives and Their Scams I Part 1

About this episode

The episode explores the dark side of Jen Shah's reality TV persona and the beginnings of her alleged scam through Bridget Knight's story.

Before she served her time in prison, Jen Shah was made for reality TV—but behind the designer clothes and explosive one-liners was something much darker. In part one of this series, Vanessa and Natalie trace the beginnings of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star’s alleged scam through the story of Bridget Knight, a former special ed teacher who thought she was building a fresh start online.
