The Texas realtor who flew to the Capitol riot on a private jet and bragged that she was ‘too white and blonde’ to go to prison has planned a weight loss, yoga and alcohol detox regiment for her 60 days behind bars
The Texas realtor who flew to the Capitol riot on a private jet and bragged that she was ‘too white and blonde’ to go to prison has planned a weight loss, yoga and alcohol detox regiment for her 60 days behind bars.
Jennifer ‘Jenna’ Ryan, 50 – who pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge of parading on Capitol grounds – posted to TikTok Monday explaining how she’s going to make her prison sentence ‘worth it’.
‘I have to report to prison, and the only thing that I can see that’s good about having to go to prison is that I’m going to be able to work out a lot and do a lot of yoga and detox,’ she told her followers, as she stood in front of a mirror in athletic wear.
‘I’m thinking that I can get down to, you know, 140, so 30 pounds in two months. If I do that, then it will be worth going to prison for 60 days.’
Ryan said she won’t be eating during her prison stint because ‘the food is awful, and there’s just no food’. She claimed inmates are served foods ‘you don’t want to eat, like, green baloney’. But notes she’s hopeful the facility may have protein bars or shakes.
The real estate agent also told her fans she’s staying positive about her situation and asked for their support.
‘You have to look at the bright side of everything you do, and that’s what I’m trying to do,’ she said. ‘So wish me luck!’
She was given a $1,500 fine and sentenced to 60 days in prison last month after she admitted that she ‘paraded, demonstrated or picketed’ inside the Capitol when she knew she didn’t have permission to be there. She is expected in prison sometime after January 3, 2022.

Ryan previously said she went to the riot on a whim after receiving a Facebook message from a handsome stranger looking for people to join him at a rally then-President Donald Trump was holding at the White House on January 6.
The now viral TikToker was seen posing for photographs outside the Capitol building before entering illegally during the riot, which left five people dead.
Court documents allege she also posted a 21-minute Facebook Live during the insurrection in which she was seen entering the Capitol rotunda. The video has since been deleted but was described in an affidavit for her arrest.
Two days later, the FBI identified her as a person of interest and shared grabs of the livestream she filmed.
Ryan turned herself in to authorities before the end of January for her role in the Capitol siege and has consistently maintained that she did nothing wrong and has no regrets.
In fact, earlier this year, she even described the experience as ‘one of the best days of my life.’

Ryan is the only member of the jet group facing charges for involvement in the MAGA riots
A few months after the attack, as she prepared to go to trial in Washington DC, Ryan bragged that she’d be spared a custodial sentence because of her hair color and ethnicity.
‘Definitely not going to jail. Sorry I have blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I’m not going to jail. Sorry to rain on your hater parade. I did nothing wrong,’ she tweeted in March.
However, she was proven wrong last month when US District Judge Christopher Cooper sentenced her to 60 days in prison.
‘You’re not being singled out for your political views or anything like that. It’s how and where you decided to express them,’ Cooper said when announcing her conviction.
The judge said that despite playing a ‘lesser role in the criminal conduct that took place’ than many others, she acted as a ‘cheerleader’ during the chaos.
‘You were a cheerleader, you cheered it on,’ he stated. ‘But that does not mean that you don’t have any culpability in what happened that day.’

Before her sentencing, she wrote a four-page letter to the judge apologizing for her actions on January 6 and said her tweet about not being sentenced had been taken out of context.
Ryan claimed she didn’t mean that she ‘was above prison’ when she wrote it and argued that she ‘just shouldn’t tweet.’
‘I just felt that it would be unlikely since I was pleading to entering the Capitol for two minutes and eight seconds. Now I realize that was a false notion but having a false notion does not automatically mean I deserve incarceration,’ she wrote in the letter.
‘A tweet of me taking up for myself against a bully who is harassing me does not indicate that I feel above-the-law,’ she added.

To date, at least 702 people have been charged in connection to the Capitol insurrection.

Ryan, who had faced four charges and ultimately pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor account, previously said she fears that her involvement in the riots could ruin her real estate career.
The Texas Real Estate Commission has faced numerous complaints demanding that her license be revoked.
Ryan responded by issuing a statement saying she was ‘truly heartbroken’ over the lives lost during the assault.
‘Unfortunately, what I believed to be a peaceful political march turned into a violent protest,’ she wrote on Twitter.
She also tweeted that she lost a publishing deal for a book related to her work.
‘This has taken my company. This has taken my business,’ she tweeted.
Since the rally she said she has received thousands of death threats and people attacking her business. Despite this, she has said she would do it all over again.
THE FIVE PEOPLE WHO DIED AT MAGA MOB RIOT ON CAPITOL
Capitol Cop Brian Sidnick, 42 – ‘MURDERED’ by the mob
Sidnick was allegedly hit over the head with a fire extinguisher during the chaos. It’s unclear where exactly he was when he was injured; many of his colleagues were outnumbered on the day.
He retreated to his division office afterwards which is where he collapsed. He was taken to the hospital, put on life support but died on Thursday night.
Federal prosecutors have now launched a murder investigation into his death. Like the people he was fighting, he supported Trump.
Roseanne Boyland, 34 – Trampled in the Rotunda
Roseanne Boyland, 34, from Georgia was ‘trampled in the Rotunda’, her family told DailyMail.com on Thursday after police she had been potentially ‘crushed’ in the mob.
Her family said she had planned to ‘hang back’ but was emboldened by Trump’s speech earlier on Wednesday.
They say they blame Trump for her death.
Ashli Babbitt, 35 – Shot dead by cops climbing into the Capitol building
Ashli Babbitt, 35, was a 14-year air force veteran who was fatally shot in the chest by Capitol Police as she breached the building.
A witness to the shooting suggested the San Diego local was shot by police when she tried to climb through a broken window to get into congressional chambers.
She was pictured lying on the ground afterwards with blood streaming from her nose. She was the only person shot on Wednesday.
Kevin Greeson, 55 – Had a heart attack ‘in the midst of excitement’
His family said in a statement: ‘Kevin had a history of high blood pressure, and in the midst of the excitement, suffered a heart attack. Our family is devastated.’
Social media photographs show Greeson posing proudly with two AR-15 rifles. He regularly posted on the website Parler where he encouraged violence against Democrats.
Among recent comments was: ‘Let’s take this f*****g country BACK! Load your guns and take to the s streets. I’m bringing my guns.’
Ben Phillips, 50 – Had a stroke after leading caravan of Trump fans from PA to DC
According to The Inquirer, Phillips described the day as ‘the first day of the rest of our lives’.
‘They should name this year Zero because something will happen,’ his friends claim he said before the riot got underway.
Phillips founded the website Trumparoo, where Trump supporters can speak to each other, and organized transport for dozens of people to get to DC from Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
It’s unclear at what point in the day he suffered his stroke, or if he was married or had children.
