  • Katie Maloney Claps Back at Scheana Shay for Calling Her “Low” and “Forgettable,” Shades Her Past Demotion and Slams Her Criticism of Ariana Madix

    Katie Maloney is speaking out against Scheana Shay after her former Vanderpump Rules co-star suggested she was “low” for going on Brock Davies‘ wedding trip to Mexico uninvited in an effort to get paid in her newly released book, My Good Side.

    As she also called out Scheana, who additionally suggested she was “forgettable,” for shading Ariana Madix, 40, for not reaching out to her after learning Brock had cheated, Katie, 38, denied that she went to Mexico to ensure her episodic paycheck, reminded Scheana, 40, of her past demotion, and demanded she “leave [her name] out of [her] goddamn mouth.”

    “I didn’t want to talk about this because at the end of the day, talking about something and saying you don’t care about it is a bit of like an oxymoron. So I don’t want to confuse the fact that I don’t really care, but I also just feel like, you know what? It’s time. It’s f*cking time,” Katie began on the September 10 episode of Disrespectfully.

    In addition to noting that she’d been told that Scheana referred to her “as a drunk” throughout her book, Katie said she was put off to learn that Scheana, who now appears on The Valley, had accused her of reaching a new low for a cast member by traveling to Mexico.

    “It wasn’t because I [wanted] to get paid or I’d miss out. They were gonna have to film me regardless of whether I was in Mexico. I was paid per episode, so I was getting that episode no matter what,” she clarified.

    According to Katie, Scheana had been panicking “for months … because Bravo told her that they were not going to film her wedding.”

    “They did not want to film her wedding, but everyone was going. And I know production was freaking out because like, half the cast was gonna be there, and what were they going to do? Were they gonna have to ask some people to stay back?” she recalled. 

    Because she and Scheana were having drama at the time, producers ultimately decided it would be good for the show to film with Katie in Mexico and sold Bravo on the idea of “two trips.” 

    Although Katie didn’t want to go and “be around a bunch of people [she] can’t stand,” she was told by a producer that she had to go during the car ride home from Lake Havasu.

    “[Lala Kent] was in the car with me when she told me this, if she wants to corroborate,” she noted.

    While Katie could have told Scheana this long ago, she didn’t want to betray her producers.

    “I am good at my job. I don’t speak about this sh*t. I don’t spoil behind-the-scenes stuff. I don’t make producers’ lives hard. That’s why I’ve never been demoted, unlike Scheana,” she declared. 

    Moving on to Scheana’s recent appearance on Gia Giudice‘s podcast, Katie slammed her as “b*tchy.”

    “I’m forgettable? Go on, girl. I don’t care,” she said. “She was talking about how she wasn’t gonna send me her book. I don’t want your book. You asked me for my address last year to send me some bullsh*t in the mail. I don’t want you to know where I live. I’ve actively put you out of my life on purpose. So please stop talking about me.”

    Katie then shaded Scheana for revealing that Ariana never reached out to her after she confirmed Brock’s affair in her book and suggesting she wasn’t there for her when she needed her.

    “[Scheana] wanted Ariana to read her mind and just ask her if she was okay. She’s blaming Ariana for not telling her, but then giving her the f*cking third degree,” Katie noted.

  • Stassi Schroeder Says Offer to Return to Vanderpump Rules Was Rescinded, Plus Shares Where She Stands With Lala, Katie & Scheana

    Stassi Schroeder Says Offer to Return to Vanderpump Rules Was Rescinded, Plus Shares Where She Stands With Lala, Katie & Scheana

    Stassi Schroeder shared details about a meeting she had with a Vanderpump Rules producer in regard to a potential post-firing return while appearing on a podcast on Tuesday.

    Before “Scandoval” broke amid season 10, exposing Tom Sandoval‘s months-long affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30, Stassi, 36, considered returning to the series. And during the podcast episode, she explained why she opted against doing so. She also offered an update on her relationships with Lala Kent, 34, Katie Maloney, 37, and Scheana Shay, 39.

    “It was right after I’d announced my second book, Off With My Head … I was asked by a producer to come back, and I had to really think about it,” Stassi revealed on the October 1 episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “We kind of argued about it.”

    Ultimately, however, Stassi decided that because she’d seen success outside of Bravo, it wasn’t in her best interest to return.

    “I walked into this meeting being like, ‘You know what? No.’ Because I’d seen the reaction I got from my second book. And I had seen that, like, you know what? My career, I think I can keep going and do it on my terms,” she explained.

    But when she arrived at the meeting, she learned that her potential return to Pump Rules may not have been a possibility at all.

    “[The producer] was like, ‘Oh, by the way, I take it back. I didn’t get approval yet.’ It was a really messed up situation … It was like a mindf*ck,” she recalled, saying that if she had decided to return, it “would’ve killed [her]” to be shot down.

    Although Stassi did not want to return to Pump Rules at that time, that’s not to say she didn’t consider returning to reality television in another way.

    “It’s something that’s been part of my life since I was, like, 16. It’s always been something that I did, so of course it was always something that was on my mind. But I wasn’t going to do it unless it felt fully right,” she explained.

    Four years after her firing from Pump Rules, which was prompted by racially insensitive behavior toward Faith Stowers, Stassi has married Beau Clark, 44, welcomed two kids, Hartford, 3, and Messer, 1, and announced her official return to the small screen.

    As fans may have heard, Stassi will soon make her debut in a new Hulu docu-series, Stassi Says, and she will also be featured on the second season of Lisa Vanderpump‘s Vanderpump Villa.

    “I’ve had to work on things. I didn’t just get offered things. I had to work on them myself,” she noted.

    As for where she stands with her former castmates, Stassi confirmed she’s “still close” with Lala and Katie.

    As for Scheana?

    “I run into Scheana. Scheana and I have never been besties, but I run into her,” she revealed. “There’s always a kid’s birthday party. So much time has passed. I’ve been out of their filming world for so long and you have to try — when they’re not in their filming world, everyone’s a lot more relaxed and normal. So I don’t have that constant fighting or whatever. I’m just bringing my kid to a kid’s birthday, and we’re just talking about normal sh*t.”

  • Rachel Leviss Shares Theory Behind Lala Announcing Katie Friendship Break, Says She Heard Bravo is Planning Vanderpump Rules Reboot With a “Whole New Cast”

    Rachel Leviss Shares Theory Behind Lala Announcing Katie Friendship Break, Says She Heard Bravo is Planning Vanderpump Rules Reboot With a “Whole New Cast”

    Raquel Leviss suggested Bravo is preparing for upcoming Vanderpump Rules spinoffs and claimed they have the “budget” for it. She also shared her theory behind Lala Kent’s recent announcement about her friendship break with Katie Maloney as well as a rumor she heard about a full reboot.

    After a bizarre season in which half the cast barely interacted with the other, Pump Rules reportedly went on hiatus — with some sources claiming it may not return. One rumor suggested that the entire cast will eventually be replaced by actual servers from Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants. The show’s recent spinoff, The Valley, had a successful first season and is now filming its second.  

    On her Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, Raquel addressed Lala’s recent declaration about her friendship with Katie.

    “There’s no reason for Lala to be friends with Katie at this point if they’re not filming a show together,” said Raquel. “I don’t know why she needs to announce it. That’s, like, in classic Lala fashion.”

    According to Raquel, she believes the reason Lala was okay with announcing the end of her friendship with Katie is because Lala has been offered a permanent spinoff opportunity, likely on The Valley.

    “I think she’s framing for announcements yet to come,” Raquel explained. “And you know that NBC and Bravo have the budget for that. They’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s do all the spinoffs.’”

    Raquel also suspects that while Lala and Scheana Shay will move on to The Valley, Bravo will likely offer Ariana Madix and Katie their own spinoff based on their sandwich shop Something About Her.

    As Reality Blurb recently reported, Lala and Scheana have both been spotted filming for the upcoming season of The Valley.

    Raquel also theorized that if Bravo launches a spinoff for Something About Her, Vanderpump Rules won’t return with the same cast, adding that she heard “through the grapevine” that the network was planning a full cast reboot for the series.

    “If that’s the case, Vanderpump Rules is definitely not coming back unless they’re recasting with a whole new cast, which is, you know, what I heard through the grapevine,” said Raquel.

    On a past episode of her Scheananigans with Scheana Shay podcast, Scheana addressed Jax Taylor’s claim that she and Lala should not join The Valley.

    “For the second time on his podcast, he has said that he does not want me or Lala to join The Valley because it would be disrespectful to the current cast, and, like, no one wants us,” she said at the time. “And I’m, like, actually, Jax, I just think you don’t want us. If we did a poll, these are all of our friends. You’re afraid of me and Lala being on the show because we’re gonna call you out for the s**t we actually know.”

    She went on to say, “When the whole concept of The Valley was coming to fruition, Jax and Brittany were the ones that were, like, we want you and Brock in it.”

    The Valley is currently filming. Both Lala and Scheana have been spotted filming for it in some capacity.

    Ariana Madix praised Katie Maloney for telling Tracy Tutor to “shut up” on Instagram after the Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles cast member suggested it was time for Ariana to move on from Vanderpump Rules.

    After Tracy, 49, also praised Lala Kent, 33, stating that she “brought it” to season 11 while Ariana, 39, was seemingly unwilling, Katie, 37, shaded her fellow Bravolebrity as Ariana offered a response.

    “You have a responsibility when you sign up for a show like this to show up and be accountable, vulnerable, and aware. And if there are certain people that aren’t willing to do that, then perhaps it’s time for them to make a decision to walk away from the show, or for the network to say, ‘You know what? If you can’t give anymore and you have all these boundaries that are now in place, then maybe it’s time for you to move on from the show,’” Tracy shared on the August 13 episode of the LadyGang podcast, via The Bravo Investigator on Instagram.

    Although Tracy claimed she was “not speaking to anyone directly,” she acknowledged that her comments related to Ariana’s status on Pump Rules.

    “I very much understand and relate to what Ariana has been through. I’ve been there myself. I totally get it. But maybe it’s no longer the best avenue for you and maybe it’s your time to say, like, ‘I’m signing off,’” she continued.

    Moving on to Lala, Tracy felt that she delivered on her responsibilities as a reality star.

    “She’s got a baby to raise. She’s going to have another one … She’s a single mom. And with all due respect, she brought it this season,” Tracy noted.

    While Tracy didn’t seem to think that Ariana had brought enough to season 11, she admitted that it must have been tough for her to return to production so soon after learning that her then-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, 42, was having an affair with her former friend, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29.

    “Ariana literally was cameras down for like 10 minutes to process what the f*ck she just went through on live, national television watched by millions and millions of people. And they were like … ‘We’re going to start shooting in three weeks,’” Tracy recalled. “Mind you, for all of us by the time it aired, it had been months. So, we’re like, ‘Get over it.’ She did live that. She had to put cameras up a month after the [show’s] finale. That must have been incredibly hard for her.”

    “Perhaps, at this point, maybe she is ready to move on. She’s incredibly talented. She’s a gifted actress. That’s her wheelhouse. She can do other things,” Tracy suggested.

    But Katie didn’t agree.

    After Taste of Reality shared a headline about Tracy’s comments on Instagram, she weighed in.

    “Shut up,” Katie stated.

    And after seeing that her co-star and co-owner of Something About Her had clapped back at Tracy, Ariana praised Katie’s post with a post of her own.

    “Queen,” she deemed Katie.

    Vanderpump Rules season 12 is currently on pause ahead of its 12th season.

    Ann Maddox has gotten her hours cut back at Something About Her.

    After going to work for Ariana Madix, 39, and Katie Maloney, 37, at their sandwich shop after leaving her job as Tom Sandoval‘s assistant, Ann, who was featured on Vanderpump Rules season 11, shared a message on her Instagram Story about her hours as she requested help from her followers.

    As they shared a screenshot of Ann’s message, The Bravo Objective noted that they found the cut odd considering Ann was a draw for fans.

    “Well my hours got cut at the shop so I have no choice but to have this succeed … Please vote for my podcast so that we can get host read ads and pay my rent thank you!” Ann’s message said, along with a link to a survey where fans could vote for her podcast, We Signed an NDA.

    Following the sharing of the post, several commenters admitted they didn’t feel that bad for Ann.

    “She seems like an unhinged super fan. I said what I said,” one person stated.

    “She needs that podcast now because who will hire her as a PA when she has proven she cannot be loyal?” asked another.

    “Oh, I wonder if she’ll go work for the other partner who is suing Katie and Ariana now for her revenge like she did Tom. That seems to be [her] thing,” mentioned a third person, who signaled Penny Davidi‘s lawsuit against the Pump Rules cast member.

    “I don’t even feel sorry for her, she was giving thirsty from the beginning,” added someone else.

    But others pointed out that her hours being cut was a “shame” since Ann “added a lot to the atmosphere” and was “very upbeat and taking photos with anyone that asked.”

    It was even mentioned that many other California restaurants had cut employees’ hours due to the state’s new wage law.

    “Well when they have to pay their employees at a restaurant 20 an hour bc that the state’s new restaurant wage, yeah every restaurant has cut hours,” someone shared.

    Ann’s cut comes just days after a job listing for Something About Her was shared on Reddit and met with criticism from users of the platform, who felt that Ariana and Katie weren’t paying enough to their staff.

    The listing was for a part-time employee, Monday through Friday.

  • Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Face Criticism Over ‘Something About Her’ Job Listing as Vanderpump Rules Fans Question the Employee Pay

    Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Face Criticism Over ‘Something About Her’ Job Listing as Vanderpump Rules Fans Question the Employee Pay

    Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are under fire for the pay they are offering for a position at their sandwich shop, Something About Her.

    After a job listing for a prep team member at the restaurant was shared on Reddit, revealing that the position started at just $21 per hour, fans slammed the Vanderpump Rules stars for the “abysmal” offer as they compared the ladies to Lisa Vanderpump, 63, who was previously accused of stiffing her restaurant employees.

    In the Reddit posting, it was noted that the prep team position would receive paid training and an employee discount and that the employee would be expected to work part-time, between 15 to 30 hours per week, Monday through Friday.

    looks like something about her is hiring!

    Following the sharing of the post, one person pointed out that they lived in Dayton, Ohio, and said that a sandwich shop nearby was offering $24 per hour for a back-of-the-house position.

    “The cost of living here is so much lower than [Los Angeles], it’s hard to fathom someone in LA making so little,” they noted.

    Another person said the pay seemed low, unless they “also get tips.”

    “And part-time hours so they do not have to offer benefits,” noted someone else.

    Others pointed out that $21 per hour “is not enough for how busy [it is there]” and wondered how anyone could “survive” in Los Angeles on such a pay.

    “I think employers should pay their workers a living wage/ fair wage,” one person stated.

    “They do this to the little people? Naw, it’s unethical,” another agreed.

    Some even suggested that they did not want to support the Pump Rules stars due to how they were treating “the little people.”

    “Ariana and Katie are treating their workers as a commodity to be drained of value in order for them to get richer,” someone noted.

    Several more Reddit users suggested they’d learned from “the master of not paying people (LVP).”

    “LVP has been caught committing wage theft frequently over the years in order to build wealth for herself (and the execs at Bravo) who all profit enormously from these workplace-centered shows,” someone alleged.

    “If you can’t afford to pay your employees a living wage (and this is not a living wage in LA) then you can’t afford to be in business,” another concluded.

    Vanderpump Rules is currently on pause ahead of its 12th season.

    Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney opened the doors to their new sandwich shop, Something About Her, on Wednesday, amid some technical issues — following months of delays and a soft opening earlier this month.

    After droves of fans made their way to the Vanderpump Rules stars’ new business, which is located in West Hollywood, California, not far from TomTom and SUR Restaurant, new information about the venue was revealed as Ann Maddox‘s absence was pulled into question and a collaboration with Summer House cast members Kyle Cooke, 41, and Amanda Batula, 32, was confirmed.

    In a video captured by the Vanderpumprulesparty Instagram page, Ariana announces the POS system (Point of Sale system) was having issues. “Our POS system has decided that today is the day that it wants to not work,” said Ariana to the crowd lined up outside.

    Speaking of their experience on day one of Something About Her, Bravo Breaking News on Instagram shared that the POS system was working properly by the time they entered the restaurant, adding: “I got in line about 9:15am (45 minutes before opening) and was about 15th in line. They opened a little late (around 10:30) and rather than getting it to go, we waited for a table inside and sat down around 11:30.”

    They also included a photo and screenshot of a video of the “MAJOR LINE” of people outside.

    “Was Ann there?!” a fan asked the outlet during a Q&A later that day.

    “ANN WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!! I also didn’t see her in any of the content from the soft openings,” the fan page replied, also asking with a hashtag, “Where is Ann?”

    As Pump Rules fans well know, Ann, the former assistant of Tom Sandoval, 41, began working at Something About Her amid season 11.

    Another person wondered, “How many seats are inside?”

    And, with a pic of Katie’s mom, Teri Maloney, the outlet revealed, “There are literally [seven] tables (six 2 tops [and] one 4 top) inside. It is TINY! But very cute and quaint. But there is a huge park nearby if you have to take it to go!”

    “Is there alcohol on the menu? Outdoor seating?” someone else asked.

    “They have [Loverboy] and [Avaline] wine (my two faves). No liquor! And no outdoor seating as of yet … Katie said they are working on that!” they confirmed.

    Following the opening, Katie returned home, where she took to her Instagram Story with a message of thanks to her fans and supporters.

    “My heart is so f*cking full. I cannot say enough thanks to everyone that came out to support us today and waited in line at [Something About Her]. It means the world to me and [Ariana Madix],” she captioned a sleepy pic of herself.

    Also on opening day, Something About Her and Kyle and Amanda’s Loverboy announced an exciting partnership.

    “There’s just Something About Her… drinking a Loverboy … [Something About Her] is officially open and you can pair your new favorite sandwich with [a Loverboy] spritz or tea! Cheers to that,” the companies wrote in the caption of their joint post, which featured an image of Ariana, Katie, Amanda, and Kyle seated in a corner booth at the restaurant.

  • Vanderpump Rules Reunion Recap 2: Ariana Snaps at Lala for Not Respecting Her Boundaries, Schwartz is Slammed for Refusing to Admit Jo Relationship, and Sandoval Teases Dirt on James, as James Calls Him Out for Rolling His Eyes

    Vanderpump Rules Reunion Recap 2: Ariana Snaps at Lala for Not Respecting Her Boundaries, Schwartz is Slammed for Refusing to Admit Jo Relationship, and Sandoval Teases Dirt on James, as James Calls Him Out for Rolling His Eyes

    Vanderpump Rules Reunion Recap 2: Ariana Snaps at Lala for Not Respecting Her Boundaries, Schwartz is Slammed for Refusing to Admit Jo Relationship, and Sandoval Teases Dirt on James, as James Calls Him Out for Rolling His Eyes

    It’s part two of the Vanderpump Rules reunion.  Lala is still trying to understand things that have nothing to do with her and Katie is just mad…pretty much the whole time.  First it was Lala coming at her, then the Scheana/Schwartz make out gets brought up, and finally Jo comes out to try and speak her truth.  That doesn’t go so well, as Schwartz tries to gaslight Jo into thinking they were never a thing.  James jumps in at the very end, proving that maybe he’s the number one guy in the group.

    Things are going GREAT for Lala and Katie so far.  Not… Lala is coming in hot, calling Katie out for acting differently off camera.  Lala reminds Katie that she had a lot to say about Ariana when the cameras were down, but when Lala tried to bring it up while filming, Katie wouldn’t bite.  Katie claims she chose not to talk about it because she was “over it” and didn’t want to make Ariana feel guilty.  And she was certainly not resentful towards Ariana, as Lala insinuates.

    Schwartz points out that Katie was probably scared to not be #TeamAriana, but Ariana backs Katie by calling her 100% authentic. Ariana states that Katie is valid in her feelings and Lala just misses the Katie who would also be a truth teller, delivering facts and having uncomfortable conversations. Lala felt like Katie was treating her like the enemy, but believes they will be back to being good friends, even after this touchy conversation.  When Andy points out that Katie looks p*ssed, Lala retorts, “well, that’s standard….” And also an easy way to have Katie remain angry with you, Lala.

    Because Katie was not mad enough, Andy decides to switch topics and bring up the make out session between Scheana and Schwartz.  To be clear, this happened YEARS ago, during a time when Katie HATED Scheana coming into the group.  Scheana buried this secret because the last thing in the world she wanted was to hurt Katie. Schwartz apologizes to Scheana for coming on to her and for being a “sloppy, drunken fool.”  If not for Scheana’s repressed memory of the evening coming to light during glamping, this would have stayed quiet.

    Scheana stands by the fact that every guy in the group has hit on her.  James denies it.  Sandoval also denies it, however, Scheana’s got a LOT of details… Speaking of hook ups, Katie’s revenge bang with Max gets discussed.  Schwartz claims to have manifested this so he could show the world he was a bigger person in this kind of situation, but you know it’s killing him, since Max is his bff.  Katie plays coy when asked if she hooked up with Max a second time, so…she did?

    The Lake Tahoe trip was NOT a “Sandoval redemption trip,” but rather a way to try to get the group together after the chaos of the past year.  Schwartz gets questioned for calling Ariana the queen of the group and Ariana believes that Schwartz is the ONLY person who thinks she has an ego.  Just wait til she sees Lala go off about this on the finale episode…

    Ariana understands where Scheana was coming from this season as she struggled to be loyal to Ariana, but wanted to let Sandoval back in her life. Scheana desperately tries to show Ariana how much she means to her.  Ariana’s boundaries are a hot topic and Andy points out that Lala had boundaries in 2022 about communicating with her ex, so why was everyone giving Ariana such a hard time?

    Lala says that the giant difference is that there was a child involved. Katie believes that Ariana is still allowed to have boundaries, but Lala doesn’t understand how Ariana can sleep in the same house as him, yet claim boundaries, especially after having a new boyfriend “10 days later.”  Ariana reminds Lala that she supported her boundaries and that Lala doesn’t have to understand her boundaries, but rather respect them.

    The fan photo where Scheana has her arm around Sandoval gets brought up.  Ariana admits that she was slightly uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as Scheana was when Ariana didn’t tell her she was going to be on Dancing with the Stars (Scheana’s DREAM position).  Ariana says she remained tight-lipped because of production and she was afraid that if she told Scheana, she may have been over-heard. Andy makes a plug to have Scheana on DWTS and Scheana poo-poos it, as she has plans with her band…but maaaaybe next year.

    Ally enters ready to read Andy’s chart, and Jo enters ready to be eaten alive by Katie. The whole Jo segment left me feeling uncomfortable, since Schwartz refuses to call what they had a relationship, when it very clearly was one.  Schwartz and Jo met through Kristen Doute, but it’s strange how they connected…and how Jo wound up crashing at Schwartz’s when she could have asked her FRIEND Kristen.

    Schwartz states that it started platonically, but it evolved into a sexual relationship and refers to Jo as “an escape.” Katie actually felt bad for Jo because she saw her situation with Schwartz very differently. Schwartz claims he never texted Jo that he loved her, but he really did say he loved her because he cared about her.  Schwartz believes that he was transparent with Jo, but Katie believes that Schwartz was “displaying f*ck boy behavior.” Jo reaches for a tissue and nods as the girls talk about the disconnect. Jo points out that it’s sad to see there was a relationship and it’s even more sad that Schwartz refuses to use the word relationship when discussing their time together, opting for the word “magic” instead.

    Schwartz was scared to put labels on what they were and Jo is hurt because she felt like Schwartz’s dirty secret, whereas he has hard-launched a new girlfriend now.  No one is sure what to make of Jo.  Ariana dislikes her because she believes Jo knew about Rachel and Sandoval and Katie, well, Katie makes her opinion very clear. Katie claims she was so mean about Jo because she didn’t trust her and claims she used “colorful descriptors” when talking about Jo. Katie tells Jo it’s not about her, but Katie behaved that way towards Jo because of all she was dealing with.  The last thing Katie needed was Jo…but that sounds like a Katie problem.

    When it comes to James and Ally, they embrace the airport shade and embrace their role as parents to some cats and Hippie.  Speaking of Hippie, Rachel came out to say that the dog’s bad behavior was a result of how James treated her as a puppy, but James states that Hippie has transformed since being home with him.  Ally throws shade and says that the group hasn’t really inspired her to get married and have kids, despite James wanting it, like yesterday.

    Lala has been sober for almost 5 ½ years and she thanks Andy for acknowledging her sobriety.  James hasn’t had a drink since April and Ally shares that she didn’t like who James was when he was drinking.  Ally actually moved out of the house for two nights (and no she did not crash at Schwartz’s) and states that if James were to start drinking again, she would leave.

    According to Andy, the real star of VPR this season is Ann, Sandoval/Ariana’s assistant (no, it isn’t Summer Moon, much to Scheana’s chagrin).  Ann decided to work for Ariana because she wanted to work with and for other women.  Sandoval felt like he got kicked in his gut when this happened, but wastes no time throwing Ann under the bus when it came to “attempted dog murder.”  Sandoval states that it could have been him OR Ann who left Ariana’s bedroom door open, causing their dog to eat something and get very sick.

    In Ariana’s eyes, there is no doubt that the dog stays with her in this break up.  After all, she purchased the dog.  This causes Sandoval to roll his eyes, setting off James.  James points out that Sandoval was fine when Rachel took Graham from him and wonders how Sandoval had no problem with that then and now here he is making a mockery of the situation.  Sandoval gets defensive, as he always does, and blurts out to James, “I’m keeping my mouth shut about the things I have heard” about him.  James tells Sandoval that he is “galloping so far ahead of you I can’t even see you.”  Touché, James.

    Scheana Shay reacted to Ariana Madix allegedly voting “no” in a poll about Vanderpump Rules returning on Friday’s episode of her podcast.

    Before answering a number of questions about Lala Kent, 33, including her potential hypocrisy and criticism of Ariana, 38, and her handling of “Scandoval,” Scheana, 39, shared why she believed Katie Maloney, 37, hid her feelings from Ariana, and suggested Ariana wasn’t being considerate of their co-stars in regard to season 12.

    “As her friend, I fully support [Ariana] pursuing her dreams. I always have. I’ve said that multiple times. If VPR and reality TV no longer serve her, then onto the next thing. She’s going back to Broadway. She’s doing Love Island. She has so many amazing things lined up. I don’t even know what else is in the pipeline for her, but I’m sure many more amazing things. So if it’s time to move on, I completely get it,” Scheana began on the May 17 episode of Scheananigans.

    She then shared her feelings as a castmate of Ariana’s.

    “If this is true, it’s kind of frustrating that she would advocate for the end of a work project that, you know, is a big part of my business and what Lala and I as moms do to support our families,” she explained. “That’s what’s tricky, too, with this show, is our life is our job and our job is our life, and as a friend, I understand and respect boundaries. As your co-worker, there can be moments where it’s frustrating.”

    In the screenshot below, Ariana is seemingly seen in the “No it’s done” side of a poll that asked, “Do you think there will be a season 12 of VPR?”

    During recent episodes of Pump Rules, fans watched as Lala called out Katie for failing to be honest with her frustrations with Ariana to her face, all while venting about her behind closed doors.

    In regard to the reason Katie would have done such a thing, Scheana described it as a “business decision” made for the sake of their sandwich shop, Something about Her.

    “I think it was and has been a business decision for them to remain a united front. They’ve made a lot of money on Something About Her so I get not wanting to affect their business and I fully support that,” Scheana stated. “I know Lala said at the reunion she felt that Katie was being fake by acting one way on camera and different behind the scenes, but I think Katie was probably prioritizing her brand as she was probably making more from that than the show.”

    “As a friend, I understand and respect the business decision, but again, as a co-worker, it’s frustrating when you’re not living your truth,” she continued, noting that when certain cast members show up and do the “uncomfortable stuff” and others don’t, it’s “frustrating.”

    Because Lala had drawn such a line in the sand after her split from Randall Emmett, 53, many have felt that she was hypocritical for expecting interaction between Ariana and Tom Sandoval, 41, after their messy split.

    “I think it’s different situations, honestly. Lala and Randall weren’t co-workers. If Randall had been on the show, I think it’d be a different story,” Scheana said in response.

    As for Lala’s suggestion that she lives in the comments section of social media, Scheana denied that was true.

    “I think it’s more the concept that I let public perception get to me as I really don’t spend a lot of time in the comments section,” she clarified. “I read the first 20 to 30 as those are usually people I follow and friends, and then I’ll see the next couple, but once there’s a negative one, I’m like, ‘Okay, let’s put this away.’ If I did fully live in the comment section, it would not be good for my mental health. Of course, I care when people are mad at me. I’m a people-pleaser as we know, but I’m also working on that.”

    Also on the podcast, Scheana responded to a question from a fan who asked if she agreed with Lala that Ariana got cheated on and made that her “whole personality.”

    “I don’t agree with that. If anyone has made it their personality, that would be more fitting of the other woman involved,” Scheana said, giving a nod to Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29.

    The Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion continues next Tuesday, May 21, at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Vanderpump Rules Reunion Recap: Lala Says Katie Complained About Ariana Off-Camera, & Exposes Her DM, Sandoval Calls Rachel a “Coward” & Ariana Admits to Not Watching Show; Plus Brock Gets Emotional Over His Kids

    Vanderpump Rules Reunion Recap: Lala Says Katie Complained About Ariana Off-Camera, & Exposes Her DM, Sandoval Calls Rachel a “Coward” & Ariana Admits to Not Watching Show; Plus Brock Gets Emotional Over His Kids

    Vanderpump Rules Reunion Part 1: Sandoval Calls Rachel a "Coward" For Not Returning This Season; Ariana Admits to Not Watching the Show; Plus, Lala Calls Katie Out for Acting Differently Off Camera, Citing a DM and Claiming She Blamed Ariana For Restaurant DelaysIt’s part one of the season 11 Vanderpump Rules reunion.  This time around, there are no couches, only chairs, and there are no restraining orders, so luckily all parties can be on set at the same time.  However, that does NOT mean that Scandoval is a thing of the past.  In fact, the majority of this first part focuses on Rachel, Sandoval, and Ariana.  Where they’re living, who they’re living with, and just how quickly Ariana “dropped” Katie to head to Broadway.  Intent vs. impact seems to be the theme…

    The reunion kicks off the way any great Bravo show does: 7 hours prior.  We viewers get a snippet of what’s to come and the fact that they will be watching the finale episode live, together, makes me cringe.   But that will have to wait.

    For now, Andy is here to step in as mediator, since Ann, the infamous assistant of the season, is not available (Andy’s joke, not mine).  LVP realizes that there’s a lot to work out within the group, but Sandoval feels like he’s in a better space than last year.  According to Ariana and Katie, by the time the reunion airs, Something About Her will be open (but upon a quick Google search, that place still hasn’t opened its doors). In the meantime, Ariana is having the time of her life and Lala is prepping for the arrival of her baby by buying a house in the Valley.  Scheana and Brock have ALSO purchased a house in the Valley, which seems like insurance to get on another show in case VPR falls through…

    Andy points out that during the season Sandoval and Ariana lived under the same roof.  Ariana has filed a petition action to forge the sale of the house, but she cannot talk about it as it is an ongoing legal issue.  Ariana is currently not living in the home and Schwartz is still on the fence about moving in with Sandoval. As everyone teases them about being grown up roommates, Sandoval is the only one not laughing about this and explains that his dad is in his 60’s and still has roomies.

    When it comes to Rachel, LVP calls her absolutely ridiculous.  Sandoval wanted her to come to her own decision about returning to the show and Lala feels like they might’ve had a “productive conversation” should Rachel have come back.  However, Lala explains that she would not have changed how last year’s reunion went down, referring to the fierce loyalty to Ariana.

    Sandoval calls Rachel a “coward” for not coming back, considering they both are responsible and he has chosen to face the truth.  Sandoval believes that the rumor that he groomed Rachel implies “pedophilia,” but Lala, who evidently has a LOT to say, disagrees with him.  Lala does admit to being a projector, but understands that Rachel’s lack of responsibility remains a big issue.  Sandoval reminds the group that they were equal partners in this affair and it’s wild that Rachel is now going after both him and Ariana with a revenge porn lawsuit. Sandoval admits that it’s one thing to go after him, but for Rachel to go after Ariana is a new level.

    When it comes to suicidal ideations, Sandoval talks about the ups and downs.  Lala and Scheana feel like that might have played a role in why they chose to soften towards him, but Ariana remains stoic.  She doesn’t appreciate how Sandoval spoke publicly about her mental health.  Sandoval says that he felt as if Ariana used that as a “manipulation tactic” to keep him in the relationship, but no one is buying it.  Sandoval further claims that the reason he put Ariana’s issue out there on camera was because, “I didn’t believe it.”

    Sandoval gets called out for comparing the affair to George Floyd and OJ Simpson.  He does his best to talk his way out of that, claiming that he simply meant that his affair should not have been as newsworthy as the important issues were.  Katie points out that Sandoval should think before he speaks because there’s something called “intent vs. impact.”  It doesn’t matter HOW Sandoval meant it because the impact of the statement is more important and long lasting.

    Lala shares the exciting news that she is expecting a little girl with donor #1, the one they selected at the party.  Regarding her custody agreement, Lala gets emotional explaining how she has yet to reach one. Lala talks about how close she is with Randall’s first wife, Ambyr, and that although dating is on hold, “no man or woman is safe.”

    Scheana talks a little about her post-partum OCD and the intrusive thoughts that come with it.  Because Lala, Scheana, and Brock feel like a throuple, Scheana admits to worrying that Lala and Brock could get together.  She blames this intrusive thought on Scandoval.

    When it comes to Brock, he shares that he is up to date on his child support, but has yet to see his other children.  He is not sure how to move forward with them, but gets emotional talking about how Summer is his second chance at being a dad.  When Katie calls him an amazing father, that speaks volumes, considering she is a harsh critic.

    Ariana has had herself a YEAR.  DWTS, a new cocktail book, a. new. man.  And then some.  Being on Broadway has been great for her relationship, as Dan lives in NY, but she still remains steadfast on being bicoastal.  Ariana states that it will take a long time to fully process the affair and so she refuses to put her life on hold while she tries to navigate the aftermath.

    James gets a bit salty talking about the double-standard he faced when he moved on “quickly” with Ally.  Ariana, apparently, started dating Dan rather fast, yet no one gave her sh*t.  James claims to be over it, but it seems like it is very much still bothering him.

    Speaking of relationships, Sandoval has a new girlfriend, Victoria.  She is a successful model who used to date Leonardo DiCaprio. Good thing she has never watched the show.  Does she know what she got herself into with this guy?!

    After a decade, the doors of Pump were closed for good eight months earlier.  LVP has moved some stuff over to TomTom, and she claims that it was because of all the backlash that came after the affair. In truth, no one knew if the TomTom “brand” would survive the scandal…not even LVP.

    LVP gets shady talking about Something About Her, claiming that the timeline for the restaurant was greatly affected by disagreements and Ariana continuously being away.  More on this topic later…

    Ariana admits that she hasn’t watched any of the season because she didn’t want to get dragged back to a dark place.  She states that Lala has been transparent and Ariana understands that Lala was working through stuff herself, so there’s no beef there.  But, Katie and Lala did a lot of head butting this season.  Lala claims this tension stemmed from a DM that Katie sent her.  According to Lala, the DM said, “Get rid of your lawyer cuz what you need is a therapist.  You’re a f**king clown.”

    Katie tries to clarify what she said, but Lala felt like Katie jumped down her throat. Katie wanted Lala to see herself in Ariana’s shoes and she didn’t appreciate how Lala tried to tell Ariana how to deal with the sh*t.  Lala explains that she felt “abandoned” by Katie and Katie wonders if it’s because she didn’t want to jump on the Tom train like Lala did.

    Lala then goes on to make a big accusation: Katie acts differently off camera than on camera, saying things off camera that she then denies if brought up on camera.   For one, Lala claims that Katie said that Ariana abandoned their restaurant and that this time last year, Ariana was not caught up on the rent for the shop. Katie vehemently denies confiding about this stuff with Lala, but does admit that she didn’t get a heads up about Ariana heading to Broadway.

    Lala states that her and Katie are supposed to be the truth tellers and that maybe Katie lived in the comments too much, trying to figure out how to play to the fans because “it’s no secret that Ariana is a fan favorite,” so no one wanted to go against her on camera. Lala also made this same claim about Scheana and James, suggesting they play to the audience.

    Apparently, at some point, Katie lost it on Lala, threatening, “if you’re gonna f**k with my business Lala, then I’m gonna f**k with yours.”  To that, Lala retorts, “And honest to God I wanted to say you to Something About Her is really Nothing About Her,” a jab that Lala knew would cut deep.  Ariana looks on in confusion as this all unfolds…and it’s just part one.

  • Most Shocking Moments on Vanderpump Rules

    Most Shocking Moments on Vanderpump Rules

    On Vanderpump Rules, it often feels like there are at least three major scandals vying for attention in each episode. The Bravo series always delivers the drama and we’re here for it.

    While the scandals on the hit Bravo series may be stressful for the Sur staff, we must admit it makes for pretty great reality TV. From Nasty catfights to the notorious “Scandoval,” let’s take a look back at some of the most shocking bombshell moments throughout VPR.

    Jax tells Stassi he got a woman pregnant in Vegas

    What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Wrong! At least not for Jax Taylor. The SUR bartender ended up breaking Stassi Schroeder’s heart after he confessed to his then-girlfriend that he had relations with another woman while on his trip.

    Not only did he cheat on Stassi during his Vegas trip, but he ended up getting the woman pregnant. This moment led to Stassi and Jax’s official breakup and changed the show’s dynamic forever.

    But Jax, who was still madly in love with Stassi long after their split, did everything he could to win her back.

    Which leads to our next VPR scandal…

    Jax gets tattoos of Stassi

    Jax was so eager to win Stassi back, that he got a tattoo with her name. Eek! While Stassi admitted during the Season 3 Reunion that she was happy to see her ex groveling and pining for her, she knew in her heart that she’d never get back with him.

    The Season 3 Reunion continued to shock audiences when Jax revealed yet another tattoo dedicated to his ex-beau. On his upper arm- and it’s still there! – is a tat of Stassi’s face. Well, at least part of her face. According to Jax, the tattoo melds Stassi’s face and Carmen – his girlfriend at the time.

    Hmm… to each their own, I guess?

    Stassi slaps Kristen over her affair with Jax

    Another outrageous moment in Vanderpump history was when we learned about Kristen’s affair with Jax. It was a major bombshell since Kristen was so good at lying to both Sandoval, Stassi, and the audience, all while insisting it never happened.

    To add fuel to the fire, Stassi and Kristen were best friends at the time. Due to their insanely close friendship, it felt like the ultimate betrayal. And when Stassi and Kristen finally sat down to talk things out, it exploded into a vicious catfight.

    Tom and Ariana get together, leaving Kristen in the dark

    Before the notorious Scandoval occurred, Tom was caught up in another scandal that involved Ariana. Long-long ago, in a kingdom far-away called Season 1 and Season 2, Tom was in a long-term relationship with Kristen. While dating Kristen, he began spending more and more time with his “buddy” Ariana.

    Because Tom and Ariana were so close, Kristen grew rather jealous. After confronting Tom about his relationship with Ariana, he insisted over and over again that they were merely friends. Yet, after Tom left Kristen to be in a relationship with Ariana, Kristen was devastated by such treachery.

    She warned the pair that their relationship would end badly, because of how it began!

    (Sips tea, side-eyeing Tom and Ariana.)

    James and Kristen’s wedding confrontation

    Shortly after Kristen’s Sandoval heartbreak, she hopped into a relationship with DJ sensation, James Kennedy. Although they seemed like an odd match – considering their age gap and mismatched personalities – it’s safe to say James was smitten. When Kristen began to neglect this relationship, all hell broke loose. The final straw occurred at Scheana and Shay’s wedding when Kristen…wait-wait. You guessed it: Kristen went off with another guy. This led to a horrible fight between the couple, with Kristen ending it by outright punching James.

    Tequila Katie


    When she’s not drunk, Katie comes across as the sweetest staff member at SUR. But as soon as she starts downing the tequila shots, the seemingly “innocent” one morphs into another person completely. She even has an alter ego for her drunken persona, whom she calls “Tequila Katie.”

    Tequila Katie has done some malicious things in her day, from picking fights at birthday gatherings to verbally attacking Scheana merely for having some harmless fun.

    Yet, the Tequila Katie persona recently landed her a nationwide commercial for Chili’s new Espresso Martini! Incidentally, in the ad, Katie emphasizes her love of tequila. Yep, that’s fitting!

    Katie and Tom Divorce

    Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz – aka TomKat – were a fan-favorite for many VPR fans. Sure, they’ve had their ups and downs (too many to count). But at the end of the day, there was a certain charm to their relationship which eventually led to marriage.

    But according to Katie, she felt neglected, like she wasn’t a priority to Schwartz. In one heated argument, she emphasized how Tom defended his friends, but not his wife.

    Fortunately, it seems like they’re on friendly terms now.

    Jax cheats on Brittany with Faith

    On Vanderpump Rules, Jax Taylor needs to cheat like fish need to swim. It’s just who he is. The SUR bartender cheats on every single woman he’s been in a relationship with. So it’s not exactly shocking when we learn he’s cheated on Brittany.

    Only problem is he cheated on Brittany with her co-worker, Faith. While Brittany swore she was going to leave Jax after learning he’d cheated on her multiple times, the two worked it out. They even had a baby!

    In 2024, after five years of marriage and nearly 10 years together, Jax and Brittany are separated.

    Too sad.

    Scandoval

    And of course, we can’t include a list of Vanderpump Rules scandals without adding the infamous, legendary “Scandoval” to the list.

    One of the most truly egregious moments in Vanderpump (or TV) history, was when fans learned of the affair between Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss. It came as such a surprise to audiences because Tom had been in a committed relationship with Ariana Madix for close to a decade. Viewers, who’d witnessed them evolve as a couple for years, felt a sense of second-hand betrayal.

    To make matters worse, Sandoval had been cheating on Madix with Leviss for over six months.

    While speaking on Hot Mic, the reality star spoke of what ignited his affair with Leviss. “I was lacking so much love,” Sandoval admitted. “I was yearning for it. ..I was yearning for that admiration in my life that I wasn’t getting. And so when I got it, it became intoxicating to me.”

    Katie Maloney shaded Tom Sandoval and Jax Taylor over their interview for Watch What Happens Live, accusing them of “lying” as fans reacted.

    During the episode, Tom shared his side of the story concerning the aftermath of his split with Ariana Madix – Katie’s good friend. Jax is also at odds with Katie after she spread rumors on Vanderpump Rules that he allegedly cheated on wife Brittany Cartwright.

    On her Instagram Stories, Katie reacted to the interview.

    She first asked her friend and podcast host Dayna Kathan for a comment.

    “Liar!” said Dayna into the camera in a video shared by @tasteof_reality on Instagram. “Liars!”

    “These men just be lying,” Katie agreed. “We’re watching Watch What Happens Live, in case you’re wondering.”

    “Does anyone else have the cringe?” asked Dayna. “I have the cringe!”

    Around the same time, Katie posted a photo of her Something About Her sandwich shop with its signage above the doors.

    Image credit: @musickillskate/Instagram

    Katie and Ariana recently revealed that the sandwich shop will officially open on May 22.

    Regarding Katie’s reaction to Jax and Tom’s interview, fans shared their thoughts in the comments.

    “It was freaking painful to watch. I really only half listened as I stuffed my cheeks [with] junk food,” wrote one user.

    “Of course they went on there to lie! That’s why they’re on together. To back up and not poke holes in each others lies. Period,” speculated another.

    “Except when Jax called Scheana a good husband. That was accurate and hilarious,” said a different user.

    Other fans were more critical of Katie.

    “Stop being on a Reality TV show if you don’t want anyone (even if it’s that A**hat Jax) to comment on your life or choices,” expressed one. “Just go back to being yourself before Reality TV decided how you should be.”

    “Katie Katie Katie.. its Katies way or highway.. ITS NOT YOUR HIGHWAY KATIE!! Exit left,” wrote a different viewer.

    “Katie never has anything nice or positive to say,” said another.

    Scheana Shay Addresses Where She Stands With Katie, Claim Katie Never Liked Her, & Jax Cheating Rumor, Plus If She Was Upset at Lala for Reaching Out to Rachel,

    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.

    Lisa Vanderpump is sharing her thoughts on Ariana Madix not wanting the Vanderpump Rules cast to be friends with her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.

    While also shading the delayed opening of Ariana and Katie Maloney‘s sandwich shop and addressing several topics related to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and its cast, Lisa, 63, shared the secret to her marriage to Ken Todd and explained why she doesn’t feel that Ariana, 38, is being reasonable.

    “I understand that, but we also have to understand they‘ve been friends for so many years, and they’ve had the experience of being on a television show, [which is] very bonding, for like 14 years. So you can’t just walk away from [everything],” Lisa explained during the April 25 episode of Access Hollywood‘s Housewives Nightcap. “[Scheana Shay] almost grew up with Tom Sandoval.”

    As Pump Rules season 11 continues to air, chronicling the months that followed Sandoval’s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, Ariana has seemingly become more and more distant from Scheana. And, during an interview earlier this week, Ally Lewber, 28, described their relationship as “tense.”

    Also, in recent episodes, Ariana and Katie, 36, have been seen struggling to open Something About Her.

    “I’m really hoping it will open very soon because they’ve been paying rent for a long time and they need to open it,” Lisa said of the venue before signaling to Ariana’s distractions, which have included Dancing With the Stars and a stint on Broadway.

    “There is some excuse and they’ve had problems with the city but I would have probably opened it a year ago,” she noted, declining the idea of helping out.

    “I do not need to step in anything. How about that?” she declared.

    Moving on to RHOBH, Lisa said a return will “never happen” in “a million years.”

    “I left that with a cloud of dust behind me. Never. There’s no way,” she stated. “I’m on Vanderpump Villa, Vanderpump Rules, and I’m with [Gordon Ramsay] — [and] being with Gordon is like being on the housewives,” she shared.

    But there is something that would make her return.

    “Like, if they fired them all and it was the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills? I would do that,” she admitted before adding that she loves Garcelle Beauvais, 57.

    “[Garcelle and I] could be the [RHOBH]. I like it … [But] there’s a few of them that aren’t very nice,” she continued after Kyle Richards, 55, was mentioned.

    She even asked, “Kyle who?,” when a reconciliation was suggested.

    As for the recent departures of Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 41, and Annemarie Wiley, 41, Lisa asked, “Who’s Annemarie?”

    Also, during the interview, Lisa was asked about the secret to her decades-long marriage to Ken.

    “There were no secrets. Tenacity, putting each other first,” she began.

    She then jokingly added, “I told you I’m always looking for somebody else I just didn’t find them yet.”

    Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are seen discussing a salary dispute they had with now-ex-chef Penny Davidi in a sneak peek at next week’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.

    Just days after Katie, 37, confirmed that Penny is no longer involved with her and Ariana’s sandwich shop, Something About Her, a preview shows Ariana, 38, and Katie addressing their issues with Lisa Vanderpump, 63, who arrives at the restaurant for a visit.

    “I’ve spoken to Penny … and you guys aren’t speaking to her,” Lisa tells Ariana and Katie in a sneak peek at the April 30 episode.

    “There’s a lot of missing pieces,” Ariana replies as Katie explains, “She proposed she would like to be paid a salary and then, like, a percentage that she would want and so we sent that to our lawyer.”

    “And also,” Ariana continues, “as the two sole owners of this business…”

    “Oh, she’s not going to be a partner?” Lisa interjects.

    “This isn’t, like, the three of us as ‘The Three Musketeers.’ She receives a salary and then we offered, on the backend, 10 percent of profits from this location,” Ariana shares, adding, “That’s a great deal.”

    According to Lisa, she recalls Penny saying she was “okay with that.” But at the time the preview was filmed, she had apparently had second thoughts.

    “Now she’s saying she’s not,” Ariana reveals as the clip continues.

    Meanwhile, in a cast confessional, Katie further explains, “We originally had brought Penny on to be our COO and head of back of house. But we are having a little trouble seeing eye to eye on what her role will be in our business.”

    Back in the scene, Lisa asks the ladies, “So do you want to part ways with her? … I know she really wants to be involved.”

    “That’s kind of what we’re trying to figure out right now,” Ariana admits.

    Lisa also speaks of Penny in a confessional of her own, telling the camera, “I’ve always had a really good relationship with Penny and she can help the girls. She’s helped me.”

    She even confesses, “I worry that if they part ways with Penny, their restaurant will just never open.”

    In other Pump Rules news, a photo of the exterior of Something About Her was shared by Bravo Breaking News on Instagram earlier this week, just as The U.S. Sun confirmed its opening date of May 22.

    “Ok so, I did happen to go see Something About Her the exact same day they announced their opening. Still no sign or outdoor space (just random chairs!), but I’m holding out hope!” the fan page wrote in the caption of their April 25 post.

    As The U.S. Sun stated, the chairs outside were arranged as a makeshift waiting area for potential employees.

    “The shop is going to add tables to the side alleyway and a custom bench right in front of the store,” a source explained, adding, “The inside of the shop is ready to go. Everything is still in place as it has been teased on the show.”

  • Katie Maloney Shares Real Reason Stassi Was Upset With Jax and Brittany, & Details Off-Camera Drama With Jax as Jax Suggests She’s “Up Stassi’s A**” While Brittany Speaks Out, Plus Ariana Reacts

    Katie Maloney Shares Real Reason Stassi Was Upset With Jax and Brittany, & Details Off-Camera Drama With Jax as Jax Suggests She’s “Up Stassi’s A**” While Brittany Speaks Out, Plus Ariana Reacts

    Katie Maloney is setting the record straight about Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark‘s ongoing estrangement from Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright.

    After Jax, 44, was seen confronting her about spreading cheating rumors on the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules, Katie, 37, looked back on the moments that led up to Jax and Brittany, 35, suddenly pulling out of Stassi, 35, and Beau’s wedding as Jax slammed her for cutting ties with Brittany — and for being “up Stassi’s a**.”

    “[Jax] did tell me [about his fight with Katie] and I was upset because I was like, ‘Why? Why are you doing this?’ I don’t like confrontation and stuff … I get that he might be taking up for me or whatever but I didn’t ask him to do that,” Brittany shared on the April 23 episode of the Pump Rules: After Show.

    “You better believe I went off on her,” Jax said. “My wife’s always trying to rack her brain, ‘Why is Katie mad at me?’ For her not to respond to her texts or messages, it hurt her. She was a big part of her life. And the fact that she just abandoned her after the fact that we didn’t go to Stassi and Beau’s wedding, that you just wrote her off, that bothers me. You had no part of that situation. So you’re mad just to be mad, or just because you’re up Stassi’s a**.”

    “It’s one of the two. That’s the only two reasons I can think of,” he added as Tom Sandoval, 41, noted that flying to Italy for Stassi and Beau’s May 2022 nuptials was a “f*cking expensive trip,” especially so soon after Jax and Brittany exited Pump Rules.

    “We just had a child. [It was] in the middle of COVID,” Jax added.

    But Tom Schwartz, 40, clarified, “The reason they were so pissed is that you canceled last second.”

    Looking back, Katie said that prior to traveling to Europe for Stassi and Beau’s wedding, she, Brittany, and the bride were “making plans and arrangements.” However, she couldn’t help but notice that something seemed off with Brittany.

    “She was very sort of avoiding the questions and didn’t really want to get involved in the planning of it all, but she would still,” Katie explained. “She’d get excited and talk about it. But then right up until like the days before, she became very avoidant of it all. So then the morning that we’re all supposed to go to Italy, Brittany sends a message saying, ‘Oh my God, we’re not going to be able to make it, we didn’t get the passport in time, yada, yada, yada. Just excuse, excuse, excuse.’”

    Still, Jax insisted he wasn’t “trying” to get out of going.

    “I wasn’t gonna go because my son didn’t have a passport,” he explained. “We thought we were gonna get the expedited passport for Cruz. It didn’t come. So I said, ‘You know what? Somebody from our family needs to be at this wedding. So, Brittany, why don’t you call your mom, you guys you. I’ll stay back.’ And then when Brittany’s mom’s best friend’s husband died, it was just like, ‘You know what? It’s not in the cards for us to go.’”

    Although Jax suggested that his decision to stay home was a last-minute one, Katie hinted that he had teased his pulling out in text messages shared with mutual friends.

    “There was group chats where Jax was very openly talking about how they’re not going to the wedding; they had a golf tournament they’re doing instead,” she revealed. “It was just very kind of rude the way he was just speaking so freely to other people, not thinking it would get back to either of them.”

    While Jax admitted to handling the situation “completely wrong,” he confirmed he apologized to Stassi and Beau, 44.

    “Is it a reason to squash and ruin a whole friendship over? I don’t think so. I don’t know what else I can do. I beg. I plead,” he shared.

    Overall, Katie said it was the amount of lies Jax and Brittany allegedly told that put her off to the now-estranged couple.

    “I just feel like there were so many lies, and I don’t like lies. I just, I f*cking hate lies, man. Like, nothing more than that. So I’m just like, ‘You know, I need a break’ … and also Jax has just been such a f*cking a**hole to me for like no reason,” she stated. “I think one time Schwartz accidentally posted the name of their kid and he didn’t talk to him for like months, and then he decided not to talk to me. I got roped into it somehow while I was throwing Brittany a baby shower. I had literally nothing to do with it. He just is such a f*cking a**hole. I was just ready for a break.”

    According to Katie, she didn’t intend for her break from Brittany to be permanent, but after going through her divorce from Schwartz and hearing nothing from Brittany, she’d had enough.

    “[Brittany] never checked in on me, never once asked me anything. So I was like, you know, I’m good on you,” she explained, clarifying that Brittany did reach out to her when she moved.

    “You can’t say she didn’t reach out because she did,” Lala Kent, 33, stated, defending Brittany. “You don’t get to decide how and when and what people say when they reach out. It’s sometimes hard to gauge with Katie because you’re like, ‘How do I approach this? Should I reach out? And if I reach out, is the timing okay? Is what I said okay?’ It becomes very intimidating.”

    “Very intimidating,” Brittany agreed. “And I feel like she was the matron of honor in my wedding. Like, I love her so much. I still have a lot of love for her. But it’s just like, crazy how we just don’t talk anymore.”

    Also speaking of Katie and Brittany’s estrangement, Ariana Madix, 38, said she remembered a time when they were all together and Brittany was “really sad” about their falling out.

    “We were all together and she was really upset. I just remember her being really sad about it,” Ariana stated, then asking Katie if she and Brittany spoke after her and Jax’s confrontation.

    “No,” she confirmed. “And they did a watch thing for the show, [and] she goes, ‘Oh my God, I didn’t know Katie was going through all this?’ Who picked up the phone then? She could’ve picked up the phone at any point but then there’s a sweaty f*cking dude in my face just screaming at me like I’m the worst person on the planet.”

    “I’m good on both of them. They can have their time,” Katie added.

    Brittany Cartwright Shares Why She Isn’t Close With Stassi and Katie, Her Regret, and If They’ve Reached Out Since Her Separation, Plus Jax Doesn’t Want His Split Compared to Lally’s

    Brittany Cartwright addressed why she isn’t as close with Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney, and she hinted that Michelle and Jesse Lally have been “separated for a while” – though they just disclosed it before The Valley’s premiere.

    Brittany, Stassi, and Katie were once good friends on Vanderpump Rules, though Brittany has since fallen out with them. Of the three, only Katie has remained on the original show.

    “Neither [Stassi or Katie] has reached out to me,” said Brittany on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, via @Byewighellodrama, when asked if her relationship with the co-stars has changed since her split with husband Jax Taylor.

    “I know that we didn’t go to Stassi’s wedding and that was like a big deal,” she said after being asked why they’re no longer close. “But Katie absolutely no reason why she wouldn’t be talking to me. Like, we’ve never had an argument, never had a fight.”

    Brittany believes part of it is that Katie “doesn’t like Jax,” and Jax is a “big wedge” between her, Stassi, and Katie.

    Despite everything, Brittany said she hopes they can all be friends again, and she misses Stassi “a lot.”

    She was eventually asked if she regrets not attending Stassi’s wedding.

    “That was a huge part between me and Jax that like nobody knows about,” she said. “It was bad.”

    Though Brittany regrets not going, she hinted that Jax was being “Jax.” She explained, however, that there were other obstacles at the time. Her mom, for example, couldn’t accompany them to Italy to watch her son because her mom’s best friend’s husband had just passed away.

    What’s more, Jax was also writing in “group chats” – which Stassi and Beau found out about, though Brittany had “no idea.” Jax’s alleged actions made it seem that Brittany knew they wouldn’t attend the wedding.

    On the Housewives Nightcap podcast, Brittany also addressed how castmates Jesse and Michelle went public with their separation just before the premiere.

    “They’ve actually been separated for a while. They’ve been separated longer than Jax and I have,” said Brittany, who’s been living apart from Jax for several months.

    Brittany explained that she and Michelle have gotten close because they’re in “such a similar situation,” and Michelle knows how Brittany “is feeling.”

    “Whoa whoa whoa. Let’s be very clear,” Jax interrupted, via @Breakingtherulespod on Instagram. “It could be very similar but it’s very different at the same time.”

    Jax added that he doesn’t want the situations to be compared.

    Kristen Doute then teased that fans will see “Jesse and Michelle’s relationship play out pretty much to the bitter … The viewers will get to see all of that.”

    Brittany clarified that Michelle and Jesse are “done done” – while Brittany and Jax don’t “know what our future holds.”

    Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay Discusses Rift With Katie, Status With Ariana, and Marriage Rumors, Plus Claims John Mayer Never Denied Romance and Explains Jeremy Madix Friendship

    Scheana Shay spoke about her rift with Katie Maloney on her podcast and revealed where she stands with Ariana Madix.

    While also addressing rumors of a potentially impending split from her husband Brock Davies, pointing out that John Mayer, 46, has never denied her claims of a romance, and detailing her friendship with Ariana’s younger brother, Jeremy Madix, the Vanderpump Rules star, 38, admitted that while she thought she and Katie, 37, were in a good place amid season 11, she now questions their relationship.

    “I thought Katie and I were in a good place, at least a much better place than season 10, obviously. She invited me to her Christmas party. There were less than 10 of us there. She had a very intimate birthday dinner … I think it was only maybe eight of us. Then what’s interesting is I see all of the things she was saying about me around the same time, whether it was interviews or the After Show … It’s been upsetting for sure,” Scheana revealed on the April 5 episode of Scheananigans. “The After Show has been the most telling to me because I know the exact date that was filmed.”

    “I’ve been genuinely trying to work on rebuilding that friendship … I even had cut someone out of my life who she was having a major issue with last year just to prove to her, ‘I’m trying to be loyal to you. I’m trying to respect you and your boundaries,’ and then she goes and makes these comments,” Scheana continued. “Her laughing along with Nick Viall  saying sh*t about me, he makes jokes at my expense and then she doesn’t have my back.”

    According to Scheana, she doesn’t understand why Katie invited her into her inner circle, only to make jokes about her “behind [her] back, on camera, [and] in the press.”

    “She wants to say she doesn’t know if she can trust me. It’s like, ‘Well I don’t know if I can trust you because someone who does that behind my back is not someone I can genuinely trust as a friend,’” Scheana noted. “I think genuine friends cheer you on publicly and privately so I do now question things.”

    As for where she stands with Ariana, 38, Scheana said they are “fine” before hinting at the reunion tension.

    “When we filmed the reunion, we had to rehash some things and talk about things that can be uncomfortable at times. It’s not my favorite day out of the year but at times it can also be a bit therapeutic and cathartic,” she explained. “I was able to get some things off my chest and at the end of the reunion, Ariana and I hugged, said ‘I love you,’ we’ve texted since then.”

    As Ariana nears the end of her run in Broadway’s Chicago, Scheana is looking forward to spending time with her and her boyfriend, Daniel Wai, at Coachella.

    “I don’t think there’s anything to mend,” she clarified of the dynamic between her and Ariana, which was tested by Scheana’s relationship with Tom Sandoval, 41, on season 11. “I think friendships go through ups and downs and last year was a wild year in all of our lives and we’re all doing the best we can.”

    As Scheana attempted to sort through her feelings about Sandoval post-affair, she and Brock were faced with marital challenges.

    “We’re definitely in a much better place now than we were last year. We were going through a lot of issues, a lot of them you’ve seen play out so far this season. You’re still going to see more coming up in the next few episodes but it was a difficult time in our relationship,” Scheana noted. “I think that after everything we went through and have been in therapy about individually, I think we’re in the best place we’ve ever been in. Sometimes you have to go through some hard moments to come out on the other side.”

    “We want our family to work and if that means I gotta bring in a nanny a couple more days, if that means he needs to bite his tongue with my mom, whatever it is, we’re figuring it out,” she added.

    Moving on to the topic of John, Scheana made it clear that despite recent claims of him “denying” their relationship, the musician has never actually done so.

    “I’m sure John doesn’t love being a storyline on Vanderpump Rules], but where did he deny this? Because I’m pretty sure it was The Sun who made that claim,” she told listeners. “When I looked at the article, it looks like they just kind of made this up. It was like, ‘a source close to,’ or however they worded it. There weren’t quotes from John. There weren’t quotes from his team. There was nothing else in there.”

    “When that popped up, I was like, ‘Oh, I forgot about that.’ And nothing was ever denied then. So just interesting that The Sun is putting more rumors out and trying to dispel other things,” she noted.

    Also on the episode, Scheana responded to a fan who wanted to know why she was spending time with Jeremy amid his issues with Ariana.

    “I’ve always been close with Jeremy. They are both family to me. He’s like a little brother and has been for over a decade,” she shared. “She’s spent many Christmases with him. We’ve done many holidays together … [And] he got engaged yesterday and they were in L.A. They live down in Oceanside and got engaged in Malibu and were staying in West Hollywood for the night so on their way back to WeHo, they stopped by.”

    “I popped a nice bottle of champagne I had for them and obviously I posted because that’s a huge moment in his life and I was so excited for him,” she went on. “I absolutely love his fiancé, Rachael, she is an absolute doll and such a sweetheart so that’s why I posted, because it was a very big day in their lives and I was so excited to be able to celebrate with them.”

    After Katie Maloney was put on blast for going home with Max Boyens after a night out with the cast on Tuesday’s new episode of Vanderpump Rules, she reflected on their “surprising” hookup on the After Show.

    As Katie, 37, accused Max of being the aggressor in their flirtations and slammed Scheana Shay, 38, for lying and having “zero shame” as she tracked Max to her Los Angeles apartment, Scheana defended her sleuthing and Tom Schwartz, 40, suggested his ex-wife was “on a mission” to get under his skin by hooking up with one of his closest friends.

    “You know what his response was? ‘Oh,’” Brock Davies, 33, recalled of the moment he told Schwartz about the hookup on the March 26 episode of the Vanderpump Rules: After Show.

    “Even in a crazy rom-com movie, this would be insane,” James Kennedy, 32, replied. “Finding out that your best friend, that you’re hiking up at Runyon the daily, f*cking banged your ex-wife.”

    While Schwartz has long been close with Max, he didn’t seem too upset about his hookup with his ex-wife. In fact, he seemed to blame Katie for their interaction as he also shared what Max told him after he found out.

    “He actually called me, I think like five days later. I could tell he felt so uncomfortable. Then we went and got lunch in the valley and he was like, ‘Dude, I’m so sorry. Like, literally, alcohol. Just proximity.’ And I think Katie, I’m not saying she was the aggressor. I think it was mutual, but like, I think Katie was on a mission,” Schwartz suspected.

    But according to Katie, hooking up with Max was “not on [her] bucket list.”

    “There was more flirting on his part. I’ll put it that way. [And] the only reason why anyone knew was because Scheana was like, literally creeping on him,” she alleged.

    Meanwhile, Scheana said that she didn’t just track Max that night; the two of them have had a long-standing relationship that allows them to see one another’s location.

    “Max and I are very good friends. We talk often. We’ve shared locations with each other for a couple of years now,” she noted.

    Although Tom Sandoval, 41, suspected Max was actually “summoned” to the location, Scheana denied any such thing.

    “That night, he had actually checked my location and saw that I was at Melrose Place. He texted me and was like, ‘Hey, I’m around the corner. Are you gonna be out for a while?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah. You should come.’ So he comes,” she recalled. “I feel a vibe between him and Katie.”

    As Scheana mentioned that she’d felt a vibe between Katie and Max before, Katie insisted she was taken aback by Max coming onto her.

    “When he started acting that way, it was a little surprising because I was like, ‘For real? Okay. This is weird,’” Katie admitted.

    As for what happened after the two of them left together, Scheana confessed to reaching out to Max and checking to see where he was.

    “I was like, ‘Did you make it home safe?’ And then he sends me this weird emoji. And I was like, okay, and so I look at his location and I’m like, ‘Does he live in Katie’s building?’ And then I kind of put it together and I was like, ‘Huh,’” Scheana revealed. “Based on his cryptic texts to me, I tell Brock, I’m like, ‘I don’t know. I think maybe they’re hooking up.’”

    “Then the next morning, Brock was like, ‘Is he still there,’ and I looked at his location and he was still there. So I just said, ‘Hey. Call me when you leave.’ And then he’s like, ‘You looked at my location didn’t you?’ I was like, ‘Mm-hm. I did,’” she continued.

    But Katie didn’t think her behavior was so innocent.

    “Scheana, he wasn’t going f*cking home. That’s such a f*cking lie,” she declared. “[And] you weren’t worried about me. I didn’t get a text. She had zero shame about what she was doing while she was doing it.”

    Also on the Pump Rules: After Show, Jax Taylor, 44, revealed he got a text from Max after his hookup with Katie.

    “He was like, ‘I did something really f*cked up.’ The biggest shot [of Johnny Walker].’ He’s like, ‘There was a disco ball. It was like four in the morning,’” Jax shared.

    “I know that disco ball. In her apartment? That was our disco ball,” Schwartz replied, adding that he “can’t picture Max and Katie having sex.”

  • Vanderpump Rules Recap: Jax Comes in Hot and Blasts Sandoval Over Scandal as Ariana Warns Scheana About Sandoval Friendship, Plus Katie and Lala Make Amends

    Vanderpump Rules Recap: Jax Comes in Hot and Blasts Sandoval Over Scandal as Ariana Warns Scheana About Sandoval Friendship, Plus Katie and Lala Make Amends

    Ariana continues to stand firm on her stance when it comes to Sandoval on this episode of Vanderpump Rules.  Sure, you can befriend Sandoval, but that means you’ll lose Ariana.  Scheana is still trying to figure out a way to have both Ariana and Sandoval in her life, Lala and Katie realize their friendship is something to save, and Jax graces our screens (prior to The Valley crossover) to show Sandoval who the number one guy in the group really is now.

    Sandoval has decided it would be a GREAT idea to throw himself a pool party because that wouldn’t make his roommate/ex-girlfriend annoyed or anything.  Ariana is avoiding this party that she “allowed,” but not before complaining about it to Katie via FaceTime.  The girls discuss Katie’s upcoming meet-up with Lala and how it may be awkward considering how things were left after Ally’s readings the night before.

    Katie and Lala sit down to (hopefully) reconcile after the way they spoke to each other. Lala points out that this has been the third time Katie has hit below the belt with her. Lala calls Katie her ride or die, but it’s getting harder to find things in common since she is trying to soften up, as opposed to Katie who is “on her war path.” Lala doesn’t want to or mean to make things about her, but she was just trying to connect with Ariana.  She wants Katie to work on her tone and delivery, which Katie acknowledges, and the duo hug it out signaling a reconciliation.

    According to Ariana, Sandoval is hosting his “Sexy Singles Pool Party.”  Sandoval has made Schwartz uncomfortable when he talks about “potential love interests.”  Even Schwartz realizes this is not a good look for Sandoval and so he excuses himself from the situation, letting the party tank on its own.

    It turns out that Sandoval has invited some girls that he met at See You Next Tuesday.  Sandoval does a wonderful job of scaring them away by talking only about himself and his ten-year relationship that was. He needs some serious help making small talk. Or dare I say, flirting, and things go from cringe to a straight-up car wreck as he rambles on about his past.

    The aftermath of the pool party is comparable to a frat party mess.  Food and drinks are scattered about and the floor is sticky. Ariana walks in on Ann, Sandoval’s assistant and wonders what exactly her job description is. I mean, one minute she’s cleaning, the next minute she’s acting as his therapist. According to Sandoval, “one of Ann’s duties is to do some housekeeping,” but this seems to be next level and you KNOW he isn’t paying her well…

    Scheana stops over to Ariana’s and they step over the trash to make their way to the sofa.  Ariana shares that SHE is gonna have some people over for a much more chill evening, but the real reason Ariana has Scheana over is because she thinks Scheana is mad at her, especially over the DWTS gig. Scheana’s beef is that Ariana did not tell her firsthand about getting the show. Ariana wants Scheana to tell her things and to be comfortable talking to her about everything, but Scheana feels like Ariana hasn’t been “receptive” with her feelings.

    When it comes to Sandoval, Scheana states she misses her friend of fourteen years, but Ariana shoots it right down.  She reminds Scheana that it’s hard to hear that her best friend misses Sandoval, especially after what he did to her. Ariana knows that Scheana has plans to make-up with Sandoval, but she still doesn’t okay this friendship.

    Schwartz admits that he could “probably marry Jo right now and be happy,” but he’s not quite ready for that. He understands that the way they hang out seems very date-like (and like they are living together), but it’s truly platonic. Jo explains that since meeting Ally at SUR, she has felt welcome by one of the girls from the group, something that hasn’t happened for her in a long time.  She even thinks she will ask Ally for a reading!

    It’s a night out for the group and since Tahoe, Sandoval is really trying to reconnect with his friends.  It almost seems like things are back to normal within the cast, until Ariana and Katie roll up to the outing.  It feels like this was a blatant move for Ariana to try and reclaim *her* friends before they slide back to Sandoval’s side.

    Katie and Lala tell the other girls that they are now all good again and Ally shares that Jo texted her to do her chart.  This makes Katie recoil, especially seeing how Jo is “infiltrating” the group by trying to get to Ally first.

    Schwartz and Scheana touch base and he tries to fill her in on Sandoval’s pool party, but gets interrupted when Sandoval walks over.  Scheana takes this as an opportunity to ask him to take responsibility for a lot of sh*t things that went down, including Katie and Schwartz’s divorce.  Scheana feels like he also lived on a moral high ground, but now it’s time for Sandoval to get some more self-awareness.  Scheana reminds Sandoval that he has hurt a lot of people, and of course Sandoval gets frustrated because he feels like he’s people’s scapegoat.  Scheana gets fed up and walks away and James jumps in to try and right Sandoval.  Sandoval claims that he is done “groveling” and storms out of the bar, in typical Sandoval fashion.

    Brock is still on this nanny kick, but he is understanding a little more how to talk to Scheana about this. Brock needs to work on his “career” and according to him, getting a nanny is going to give him more consistency. Right. Scheana talks about her night out and fills Brock in on her great conversation with Ariana.

    Before Ariana’s party, Sandoval comes down and finds himself face-to-face with Katie.  Sandoval remembers how Scheana begged him to apologize to Katie and so, he takes her advice, mainly because he knows the best way he can get back into the group is through Scheana…so he should do what she asks. He actually apologizes for the way he acted last year during the divorce, yet Katie can hardly take this apology. Sandoval asks Katie to give him some grace, but Katie wants him to give Ariana some more decency and respect.

    As the party gets started downstairs, Schwartz keeps Sandoval company upstairs.  Sandoval is lost now that Rachel has truly cut things off with him and no amount of journaling can help him navigate his emotions.  He is broken and Schwartz witnesses Sandoval’s dramatic meltdown in his closet, which is yet another cringe moment in this episode. Sandoval states, “I’m getting treated like I’m Scott Peterson” and tells Schwartz that he is feeling “destructive.” Schwartz suggest they go out to try and heal. Once Sandoval leaves the premises, the energy changes for the gang downstairs and a fun night ensues.

    Sandoval gets dragged out for a guys’ night, while Jo gets her reading from Ally. Schwartz explains that last summer he had a “whirlwind romance” with Jo and that Katie has a problem with her, but Ally has welcomed her as “Schwartz’s friend.”

    And so begins the crossover event when Jax enters the bar scene. Schwartz is hopeful that Jax can give Sandoval some advice, from one cheater to another and Jax comes back on our screens hot.  In the 2.5 minutes that he is at the bar, we learn that Jax is opening a sports bar and that he still has issues with Sandoval.

    Sandoval calls Jax out for not shutting up about his mistakes and tells him, “It must be humbling to only have something interesting to say when you’re talking about me.” Sandoval makes it clear that he doesn’t have to humble himself to Jax and this is backfiring right in Schwartz’s face.  Jax claims that Sandoval did not help him out when he messed up and states that he has grown up.  He calls Sandoval a disgrace and this is when Brock steps in to remind the dudes to take a beat. Jax talks about what happens when you let the ego get the best of you, and despite the raucous he caused during his short presence, they hug it out and Jax explains that he just wants the best for Sandoval (so long as he looks better).
