She insisted she was innocent of these charges in March 2022 during the season 2 reunion special.

In June 2023 it was reported that he completed an anger management course while in prison.
“Through journaling, assignments, audio lessons, and weekly two-hour group sessions/classes, I learned more about what anger is, where it comes from, and healthy ways to respond and react that are safe and beneficial,” she told us. through your rep.
Shah said that “challenging unhelpful beliefs” was one of the most important tactics he studied to create alternative outcomes in high-stress situations.
