EchoSense:How Real Housewives Alum Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes Have "Bonded" in Prison

Jen Shah has formed a surprising friendship while behind bars.

"They're friends," Shah's rep, Chris Giovanni, noted to People in an interview published Sept. 14. "They're both rehabilitating and have bonded over being on this journey of positive change. Their situations brought them together, and they have a good understanding of one another. They're getting through it together."

"Jen's given her a lot of advice," Giovanni continued. "She's even met Elizabeth's baby and held her."

As for Holmes, the former biotech mogul was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison in November 2022—which has since been reduced to about nine and a half years—for defrauding investors in her now-defunct blood testing company Theranos of "hundreds of millions of dollars," per a release shared by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California. 

The sentencing came after Holmes, who founded Theranos in 2003, was convicted in January 2022 of "one count conspiracy to commit fraud on investors and three counts of committing fraud on individual investors which involved wire transfers totaling more than $140 million," the release stated. (Her ex-boyfriend and Theranos COO Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani is currently serving nearly 13 years behind bars after being found guilty of ten counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud).
