"Obviously her legal troubles have not been easy for Jen, let alone making this decision to plead guilty," an insider dished to People, adding that the case will be "a very big part of Jen's story."
"Producers don't want us to stop following it now," the insider explained. "They'll keep filming with her as long as they can, just like they did with Teresa [Giudice]."

On Monday, July 11, a mere week before her trial was set to begin, the Bravo sensation admitted to defrauding many older and vulnerable people for nearly a decade.
"In 2012 to March 2021 in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere I agreed with others to commit wire fraud," Shah confessed to Judge Sidney Stein and the court on Monday. "I knew this was wrong. I knew many people were harmed and I'm so sorry."
"Ms. Shah is a good woman who crossed a line," her attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said in a statement. "She accepts full responsibility for her actions and deeply apologizes to all who have been harmed. Ms. Shah is also sorry for disappointing her husband, children, family, friends, and supporters. Jen pled guilty because she wants to pay her debt to society and put this ordeal behind her and her family."
As OK! previously reported, Shah agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors in New York that asked for a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. The reality will also be responsible for making restitution to victims in an amount of more than $9 million and agreed to a forfeiture of $6 million. She also stated she would not appeal if the sentencing is for 168 months or fewer.
Shah's official sentencing is set to take place on November 28, where a judge will determine how much time she will serve.
