In November 2021, she received a three-year prison sentence, which was less than the four years prosecutors sought.

As part of her plea deal, she was also required to forfeit nearly $1.5 million in illicit gains tied to Guzmán Loera’s criminal operations.
It remains to be seen how she will navigate life beyond the shadow of the Sinaloa Cartel. And whether she can rebuild her image on reality TV.
