RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks teases she had ‘lots of evidence’ on Jen Shah’s fraud arrest as fans claim she ‘called the feds’
RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks teases she had “lots of evidence” on Jen Shah’s fraud arrest scandal as fans insist she’s the one who “called the feds” on her costar, The Sun can reveal.
The jewelry designer has been feuding with her former pal all year and Bravo viewers believe their tension has escalated so much that Meredith is the one who alerted the FBI on her cast mate’s allegedly illegal business practices.
On today’s episode of the Behind The Velvet Rope podcast obtained by The Sun, Bravo expert and host David Yontef directly asked Meredith, 49, repeatedly if she “called the feds” on Jen, 47, as many people believe.
After the question was brought up the first time, Meredith’s husband, Seth, conveniently walked in the room which gave her the chance to avoid the topic.
However, the Meredith Marks boutique owner wasn’t off the hook as it was mentioned again later in the interview.
In response to David asking once more if she was responsible for the FBI showing up at Heather Gay’s Beauty Lab & Laser to arrest Jen, Meredith insisted: “I mean, you know, it’s kind of funny because you say to yourself like, wow, let’s say, and I, and I obviously, I’m not the jury here.
“I have no idea, but let’s say that I really have all this evidence like of these horrible things. What do you do? What do you do?”
David pushed back, inquiring: “I guess you tell me, what do you do?”

Meredith continued to tease she knows more than fans have seen so far, explaining: “Well that’s the big question.
“You’ll have to wait and see. And it boils down to what evidence you have.
“If it’s something that’s real, and you honestly believe the elderly are being defrauded, it’s human obligation to do something like that.”

She concluded by adding: “Nobody wants to be aiding in a bedding.”
While it’s unclear what – if any – evidence Meredith has acquired on Jen, she admitted on this week’s episode of Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City that she “hired a private investigator” to look into her nemesis.
The Chicago native hinted that fans will learn of her findings as the drama unravels on season two of the Utah-based reality show.
Many fans – and some of her costars – have wondered if Meredith was the one who “called the feds” on Jen – which has also been heavily hinted at on the show.
The friendship between Jen and Meredith reached a screeching halt last season over drama with her son, Brooks Marks.
During a night in at Meredith’s home, Jen was goofing around and spread her legs while wearing a mini dress.
Brooks, 21, became upset at the reality star “exposing her vagina” and appeared to be disgusted at her behavior.
Following the comments, Jen took to social media to “like” a series of negative tweets aimed towards Brooks, including one calling him a “privileged Twink” – a term commonly used in the gay community.
‘TERRORIZING’ MEREDITH’S FAMILY
However, Brooks has never spoken about his sexuality on camera or to his mom in private, leading Meredith to accuse Jen of “terrorizing” her family.
Back in March, cameras were rolling as 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 is also featured on the show.
They were each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
According to legal documents obtained by The Sun, they are accused of targeting senior citizens to scam them out of money in their alleged scheme.
If found guilty following the ongoing investigation, they could each potentially face up to 30 years in prison.
Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City airs on Sunday’s at 9pm E.T. on Bravo.
