Beador was arrested for allegedly driving drunk and getting into a hit-and-run accident.

She was arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with a telemarketing scheme and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Shah maintained her innocence throughout the initial proceedings, even trying to get the charges dismissed at one point; however, she changed her plea to guilty in July 2022.

The reality star was sentenced to 78 months, six and a half years, in federal prison, and will serve an additional five years of supervised release. She is currently serving her time at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas.
