“You weren’t truthful, even when you knew you were supposed to tell everything, you still weren’t truthful,” Chief Judge Joy Flowers Conti said to Miller. “Somehow you got caught up in the world of fame and you lost your moral compass,” she added.

Miller was also sentenced to two years of probation after her release, and was ordered to pay a $40,000 fine.

The reality star pled guilty to concealing over $755,000 in income she’d earned in 2012 and 2013 during Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, which she allegedly hid in “secret bank accounts.”

The reality TV star was also ordered to return $120,000, the amount of money prosecutors said she secretly transported in foreign currency to the U.S. and which she divided into plastic bags and had friends carry onto their flights inside their luggage.
