RHOSLC’s Angie Harrington Thinks Show Will Be ‘Great’ Without Jen Shah: ‘They Know What They’re Doing’

usmagazine.com:

Feeling good about the future! Angie Harrington shared her thoughts on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 after her — and Jen Shah‘s — departures from the show.“They know what they’re doing when they cast, so I think they’ll be just fine,” the former Bravo star, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, May 25. “And from what I hear, some of the new girls are gonna be great as well.”The fashion blogger admitted that Jen, 49, had that special something that makes reality TV so entertaining. “She brings the glamour, she brings the drama,” Angie told Us. “She’s hilarious.

I don’t think a lot of people know how funny and charismatic she is. And so she’s great television, but I do think that they know what they’re doing in casting and they know how to find big fun personalities — some a little more delusional than others.”Bravo hasn’t yet made any casting announcements for season 4, but Jen won’t return after she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

She was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison in January and began her sentence the following month. In March, her term was reduced by one year.Angie, for her part, originally appeared as a guest on the first two seasons of RHOSLC before joining the cast as a “friend” in season 3.

Earlier this month, however, the real estate agent confirmed that she won’t be returning for season 4 after her son Hart, 4, was diagnosed with autism. (Angie and her husband, Chris Harrington, also share sons Rome, 18, and Cole, 15, and she is the stepmother of Chris’ two children from a previous relationship.)“It is a bummer, and I know a lot of people feel the same way — and I’m sure there’s plenty of people who will be thrilled I’m not coming back,” Angie told Us of her exit.
