Scheana Shay opened up about her relationship with Katie Maloney, and the claim that Katie has never liked her, on an episode of her podcast last Friday.

While also addressing a cheating rumor about Jax Taylor, 44, and his publicist, revealing if she was upset that Lala Kent, 33, reached out to Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, after she filed a restraining order against her, and admitting to fears about Lala and Brock Davies, 33, the Vanderpump Rules star, 38, offered an update on her friendship with Katie, 37.

“I don’t think that’s true. I mean, you’d have to ask her,” Scheana said when asked about Katie “never” liking her on the April 26 episode of Scheananigans. “Katie and I have had a lot of great moments together. And when it’s just Katie and I, we get along great, and we enjoy each other’s company.”

According to Scheana, she and Katie had a sushi date during season 11. And, while she was “very nervous” going into the meeting, they had an enjoyable time.

“I came out if it and I was like, ‘Wow, we haven’t hung out one-on-one in a long time’ … I feel like we have had a lot of good moments. We have a complicated dynamic [but] when the outside noise is removed, we can be good,” she explained, adding, “The problem is, it’s always noisy.”

While Scheana said she and Katie will likely never be “best friends,” she’s happy they can be “cool and cordial.”

“We can have fun. We can get along, but we don’t need to be best friends,” she stated.

When someone else wanted to know her thoughts on the swirling rumor about Jax and his publicist, Lori, both of whom Brittany Cartwright, 35, recently unfollowed, Scheana didn’t say much.

”I think this is something Brittany will address when she’s ready and give you her reasoning,” she shared. “I’m not gonna speak on rumors floating around, but I will say, I can’t imagine a worse scenario.”

“It’s great when you get to do business with your partner but then if things don’t work out, that’s the hardest part,” she added, giving a nod to Jax and Brittany’s bar, Jax’s Studio City.

During an early episode of Pump Rules season 11, Lala was seen reaching out to Raquel after her affair with Tom Sandoval, 41, and her restraining order against Scheana.

Looking back, Scheana said she understood why Lala reached out.

“Also, I think if Raquel would’ve come back around or would’ve responded to Lala, I think that whole issue would’ve also been discussed, and I know Lala would’ve had my back. So no, I was not upset at all,” she confirmed.

As Pump Rules fans well know,  Scheana and Lala are quite close, spending lots of time together with their daughters, Summer, 3, and Ocean, 3, respectively, and even being neighbors in Palm Springs, California. That said, it did cross her mind that Brock could cheat on her with Lala.

“It wasn’t that Sandoval put this idea in my head. It was that situation. If Sandoval could do this, could Brock do this? My OCD intrusive thoughts just started running wild, and that was one place I went. And it actually wasn’t even Sandoval. It was a comment on YouTube,” she shared. “It was a vlog I posted. I think [Brock] was maybe dancing with Summer and Ocean, and someone commented and was like, ‘Oh, the way Lala looks at Brock.’ And it was like, ‘You better watch out.’ And then it just got in my head but now it’s something we can laugh about together.”

“I trust both of [them] obviously, more than most anyone in my life. So I’m not worried about that anymore,” she added.

Also, on the podcast episode, after joking that “Rob,” meaning her ex-boyfriend, Robert Parks-Valletta, was the “most cringe” thing she’s said on Pump Rules, Scheana responded to Brock’s suggestion that it was her “gang bang” comment, explaining that there was more to the scene that fans didn’t see.

“I get in that van, I don’t know if we weren’t mic’d and maybe there was just a boom mic … Schwartz said, ‘If you get in this van, this is the gang bang van.’ And I then responded to him saying that, and said, ‘I’d rather be gang banged than in the car with those b*tches.’ I wasn’t getting along with any of those girls. He said it. I responded,” she revealed. “I guess that could go on … The list is too long.”

Vanderpump Rules season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
