RHOSLC: Why Jen Shah Almost Filed For Divorce | Screen Rant
Jen Shah, star and queen bee of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, is revealing that she almost filed for divorce from her husband. Surprisingly, her marriage to Coach Shah may be in trouble. Jen has been extremely open and raw with fans about her life up to now, so many are unsure what is going on within her relationship.
She is often seen calling her husband for daily pep talks, and both seem to get along. While Jen may have a hard exterior, she has revealed that inside she is just a softy who takes her relationships and loyalty very seriously.
Bravo viewers watched as she smoothed a misunderstanding over with Meredith Marks and throw a fit in a bathtub. Fans have gravitated toward the fashionista, thanks to her crazy outbursts and kind soul. Page Six revealed that a battle with depression almost led to Jen and Coach Shah's breakup.
Wednesday's all-new episode will show Jen opening up about her struggle with her mental health. The issues got so bad it almost cost the star her marriage to Sharrieff Shah. The 47-year-old revealed to cameras that she hit "rock bottom" and told fans that medication was what helped turn her around. At first, her husband told her that she didn't need medicine and she just needed to get her head on straight, saying, "Sharrieff was like, 'No. You don't need medication. You pray, and you just get your mind right.' And I was like, 'Oh, OK. So that's what we do in the Shah household.'" But Jen told viewers that "After my dad passed a year ago and with Sharrieff being gone all the time, I became very depressed. I had to go on medicine for anxiety and depression, but I was scared, though, to get on medication and, like, it was a sign of weakness." Right before she decided to go on medication, she divulged in her confessional that "it almost cost me my marriage. He was done with me acting out and it wasn't until, you know, Sharrieff was like, 'I'm leaving,' that I was like, 'Wait, hold.' That was my rock bottom."
Thankfully Jen realized she needed to take care of herself. The housewife is hoping her story resonates with others and wants to encourage people to seek help when necessary. Currently, Jen is having one heck of a season between her successful businesses and friendships; there is no stopping her.
