Is Real Housewives of Salt Lake City even ‘real’? It’s a big question in Shah fraud trial

Proposed questions for potential jurors in the upcoming fraud trial of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Jen Shah include discussion of the reality TV show and whether what is portrayed on screen is even “real.”

A series of questions filed in U.S. District Court in New York ask prospective jurors their feelings on the popular show of six Utah women’s friendships and feuds. On the show, Shah is portrayed as a sometimes-mercurial Park City businesswoman and the wife of an assistant football coach at the University of Utah.

In addition to standard questions about fraud and white collar crime, the voir dire questions ask if any prospective juror or their family members have watched an episode of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” or follow fan blogs, internet documentaries or read tabloid media accounts of Shah’s case.

“Are any of you fans of any of the Real Housewives shows? Would your opinion of the show and people who appear in the show influence how you view Jen Shah?” asked one set of questions.
