Her lawyers have also assured fans that she’s taking both the allegations and proceedings very seriously, and she appreciates the support and kind wishes from the public.
The reality star addressed her guilty plea with a statement on Monday, saying, “Events over the past several months have been extremely challenging for me, my family, my friends and most important, my students.
