And for a few stars who were locked up, they actually got the chance to meet some other famous faces. Although they may not have formed a lifelong friendship with their prison mates, it provided the chance to change their lives together.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Jen Shah<\/strong> & Elizabeth Holmes<\/strong><\/p>\n Former Real Housewives<\/em> star Jen Shah has gotten close to Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes while they\u2019re both serving time in a Texas prison. According to Jen’s rep, she has been teaching fitness classes and has taken on a motherly role towards Elizabeth, who is 10 years her junior.<\/p>\n “They’re friends. They’re both rehabilitating and have bonded over being on this journey of positive change. Their situations brought them together, and they have a good understanding of one another. They\u2019re getting through it together,” Jen’s rep told People<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He added, “Jen’s given her a lot of advice. She’s even met Elizabeth’s baby and held her.”<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Todd Chrisley<\/strong> & Rick Singer<\/strong><\/p>\n Todd Chrisley and college admissions scandal mastermind Rick Singer are both serving time at FPC Pensacola in Florida. While the pair aren’t close friends, Todd’s daughter Savannah says the men have crossed paths. Todd even reportedly offered Rick some advice on the book he’s writing.<\/p>\n “Dad was like, ‘Make sure you don’t leave out the chapter where you snitched on everyone.’ He’s like the president of this place,” Savannah said during an appearance on The Viall Files<\/strong><\/em> podcast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino <\/strong>& Billy McFarland<\/strong><\/p>\n When Jersey Shore<\/em> star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was in prison, he encountered Fyre Festival co-founder Billy McFarland. During their time locked up, Mike says that although Billy was “very quiet” and “reserved,” he was eventually sent to a solitary housing unit because he attempted to smuggle in a recording device.<\/p>\n “He would say ‘hi,’ but he wasn’t in my group of friends. I played against him in basketball and softball maybe, but then he was thrown out of the prison,” Mike said on the <\/em>It’s Happening with Snooki & Joey<\/strong><\/em> podcast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 4. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino & Michael Cohen<\/strong><\/p>\n During his prison stint, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino also met Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen. After being released, Mike claimed that he tried to get Michael to smuggle some extra chicken for him from the cafeteria.<\/p>\n “The most important thing in prison is pretty much food. A lot of the guys will barter. They’ll make deals for food, so when Michael Cohen came into prison, I was like ‘Alright. I heard he didn’t eat chicken,'” Mike said<\/strong>. “So I went straight up to Michael Cohen and I was like, ‘Listen Mike. I’m gonna need you to do something for me.’ This is his first day. He walked in you know — He said, ‘Anything Mike! What do you need?’ I said, ‘I’m going to need you to smuggle chicken for me.'”<\/p>\n While Michael agreed to help, it doesn\u2019t sound like things actually worked out. A rep for Michael later called the story<\/strong> “red sauce self promotional fiction.”<\/p>\n 5. <\/strong>Ja Rule<\/strong>, Alan Hevesi & Dennis Kozlowski<\/strong><\/p>\n While behind bars for gun possession and tax evasion, Ja Rule met former New York comptroller Alan Hevesi and former Tyco International CEO Dennis Kozlowski.
