"At the time, former cast member Jen Shah (currently serving time for conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud) had an official Twitter account that "liked" homophobic remarks about Meredith's then-teenage son. Shah blamed her "team" for the likes. Meredith immediately stood up for her son. "Those are negative, homophobic microaggressions for a young adult who has not determined where he stands," Meredith said when she confronted Shah on the reality show."
""I think the most important thing is to respect someone's own journey and whatever that means for them. For some people, it's very important to be very loud and proud. If you want to swing from the rafters and scream, 'I'm gay,' go for it! Maybe you don't want to say what you are, or maybe you're still figuring it out.""
Meredith Marks and her husband moved their three children from Chicago to Park City, and the younger son, Brooks, had a difficult transition in high school. Brooks's dating preferences became a storyline on Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Jen Shah's verified Twitter account "liked" homophobic remarks about Brooks. Shah attributed the likes to her "team." Meredith confronted Shah, calling the likes negative, homophobic microaggressions. Meredith stated that nobody needs to "come out," that equality includes not having to announce sexuality, and that sexuality exists on a spectrum while respecting each person's journey.
