A source exclusively tells Page Six the Beauty Lab and Laser owner and jewelry designer were informed of their castmate’s legal strategy shift just moments before it was made official.

An insider shares that Shah, 48, called Gay right before heading into the courtroom on Monday and asked her to call Marks, 50, to inform their pal of the new decision

A second source confirms the two women received notice ahead of the pleading.

We’re also told Gay and Marks had been in New York ahead of the pre-trial hearing because Shah “wanted people around her” to support her.

Marks showed her allegiance on social media the night before the hearing, proclaiming that “in the US, one has a right to a trial and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.”
