Jen Shah wants you to know that Lisa Barlow did, in fact, call her son the N-word.

“I don’t want anyone looking after my kids that calls them the n-word,” the embattled reality TV icon, 48, tweeted on Wednesday, tagging Barlow.
However, a source told Page Six on Thursday that Shah’s allegation is untrue and Barlow did not use the slur.
The allegation followed Barlow’s appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” where she told host Andy Cohen she would be open to remaining in contact with Shah’s sons — Sharrieff Jr., 28, and Omar, 19 — if their mom goes to prison for fraud.
“I don’t know really know Jen’s kids but I think they’re doing great things,” the Vida Tequila founder, 47, said.
Shah’s allegations first came to light last month during an Instagram Q&A session, where she urged fans to guess which one of her cast members allegedly made a series of racist comments.
Aside from allegedly calling one of her sons the “N-word,” Shah claimed the “Housewife” said “there are different kinds of black people.”
“For example, ‘black people from Compton are different from black people from Salt Lake City (note…my husband is from Compton),” Shah alleged, seemingly alluding to the fact the person was referencing her husband, Coach Sharrieff, who is black.
The unidentified “Housewife” also allegedly donated to Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign “4 times” and compared Shah — who is of Tongan descent — to the Disney princess Moana.
“Your people have the coolest hair; can I touch it?” she claimed the co-star asked her, noting that she’s “got receipts.”
Nevertheless, this isn’t the extent of Shah’s worries, as she recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing.
She appeared in front of US District Judge Sidney Stein in Manhattan federal court in July, where she changed her previous not guilty plea.
Her sentencing is now scheduled for November.
We’re inclined to believe Jen on this one. ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
