SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' Season 4 welcomed a new yet familiar cast member, Monica Garcia, who gave more insight into Jen Shah's scandal. Monica also claimed that Jen had asked her to join in quick-rich scheme.

In the drama-filled premiere of 'RHOSLC' season 4, Monica joined Lisa Barlow and Angie Katsanevas at a restaurant for lunch. Monica, who had worked as Jen's assistant, revealed that Jen had asked her if she wanted to be rich.

Monica said, "One night Jen asked me, 'Do you wanna be rich?' 'Do you wanna make six hundred thousand dollars a year?'" The reality star revealed that Jen explained, "All you have to do is put this and this on your name."

However, Monica found Jen's offer quite weird and bizarre and instantly called her friend who worked in the Secret Service. Monica added that her friend said, "Get the f**k away from Jen Shah. She is going to prison."

Monica further noted, "She was arrested two months later and that is how I became a witness with the federal government in her trial."

Did Jen Shah hire Monica Garcia after firing Stuart Smith?

Monica Garcia revealed in the latest episode that she joined Jen Shah's company after she had fired her assistant. Although Monica didn't reveal the name of the assistant, she could be referring to Jen's first assistant Stuart Smith.

Stuart also appeared on the Bravo show 'RHOSLC' before he got arrested in 2021 as part of a massive scheme to defraud hundreds of people, mainly senior citizens. The scandal was, naturally, incorporated into Seasons 2 and 3 of the show.

Stuart, who was allegedly Jen's first assistant, pled guilty to three offences conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and obstructing an official proceeding.
