A photo, showing her jumping rope outside, was accompanied by a message from Shah about what she has been up as she serves time for her role in a long-running nationwide telemarketing scheme.

“Bismillah,” she began, using the Islamic phrase meaning, “In the name of God.” 

“I pray that my supporters are SHAHMAZING and doing well. Over the past month, my team has shared with me the many loving messages provided by my supporters," she wrote.

“I’ve heard about the Met Gala references, the infamous GIF of my feet touching the snow in the heels from RHOSLC, and my personal well being,” she continued. “I am in great spirits and well.”

Shah went on to thank everyone who has been there for her during her time behind bars, which began over two years ago. 

 

“The consistent love and admiration from my supporters, my loving family, and my faith keeps me going as I make it through this rehabilitative journey of coming home soon,” she wrote. “I wanted to share a personal image that I mailed to my team of one of my shahmazing workouts. I remain consistent in my passion for fitness and helping other inmates achieve similar goals. You will see more soon.”

“I can only control what I can control,” the note concluded.

In March 2021, Shah and her assistant Stuart Smith were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Although they initially both pleaded not guilty, Shah entered a guilty plea in July 2022. Then, in January 2023, she was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, during which she apologized that “my actions have hurt innocent people.”

One month after reporting to Bryan Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Bryan, Texas, on Feb. 17, 2023, the reality star's sentence was reduced by one year in March 2023, and her release date was slated for Aug. 30, 2028.

It has since been reduced two more times, most recently changing to Nov. 3, 2026, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' inmate database, which was viewed by PEOPLE in February.

Shortly after she began serving her time, Shah's rep told PEOPLE that she was "doing well and remains committed towards making her victims whole."

"She has initiated her payments towards restitution, and we hope to have her home as soon as possible so that she may resume life with her family and work, putting this chapter of her life behind her," the rep added.
