    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

    [ad_1]

    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.

    Scheana Shay is opening up about her relationship with Ariana Madix after her husband, Brock Davies, suggested that Tom Sandoval has been a better friend to her on the finale episode of Vanderpump Rules.

    As Lala Kent, 33, admitted that Ariana, 38, is “not a great friend” and James Kennedy, 32, defended his co-star, suggesting that she’s always supportive and quick to respond, Scheana, 39, admitted to being hurt by her dwindling friendship with Ariana as Brock explained why he felt that Sandoval, 41, has stepped up more with his wife.

    “I think Brock hasn’t been long enough to make that fair of a judgment. Ariana has been an incredible friend to me … I think he was kind of wrong in saying that,” Scheana began on the May 7 episode of the Vanderpump Rules: After Show.  “I think it’s just maybe because Brock and Tom built their own friendship then maybe he saw more of the Tom side than the Ariana side.”

    That said, Scheana confessed to feeling sad about the distance between her and Ariana.

    “Over the last year, it has been less. She’s been [busier] and I understand that. [But] it hurts,” she shared.

    According to Brock, he finds Scheana’s status with Ariana and Sandoval to be “complicated” due to Scheana’s past closeness to Sandoval.

    “Scheana and Tom have this relationship where he was a big brother to her. He stepped up in her dark days, in her down days when she’s had bad days, Tom’s been there with no one else around,” he stated. “And the fact of the matter was, Tom is the guy that organizes the events, gets us together, and he brings us together. If we’re left to our own devices, Ariana’s busy, we’re busy, and that’s it.”

    “We’re still friends but if you’re comparing, that person was always inviting us to do stuff,” he added. “[But] we’ll be fine. Time heals all wounds. Everyone’s thriving.”

    In her own After Show segment, Lala also pointed to Scheana and Sandoval’s past as she criticized Ariana for not being a good friend.

    “Sandoval has for many years made sure that Scheana’s good. Ariana’s not a great friend. If you’re looking for someone to ask you how you’re doing … she’s not the one,” Lala stated.

    But James felt differently, saying, “I don’t experience Ariana not being a good communicator. If I text her, she texts me back right away and then she responds to pretty much all my Stories.”

    “Maybe she’s just blowing Scheana off then,” Brock replied.

    The three-part Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion begins Tuesday, May 14, at 8/7c on Bravo.

    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.

    Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval and Girlfriend Victoria Unfollow One Another After a Night Out With Jax Taylor Then Re-Follow as Billie Lee Unfollows Both of Them Following Their WWHL Appearance

    Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, sparked breakup rumors on Tuesday after it was confirmed that the couple had unfollowed one another on Instagram.

    Following a night out with Jax Taylor, 44, whom Sandoval, 41, appeared alongside on Watch What Happens Live, Sandoval and Victoria, 31, briefly unfollowed one another before refollowing each other, just as Sandoval’s former Vanderpump Rules co-star, Billie Lee, unfollowed them both.

    On May 7, Bravo Babe on Instagram confirmed the unfollows with a series of screenshots.

    “After the WWHL taping last night Sandoval, Victoria[,] and Jax went out together. This morning Victoria and Sandoval unfollowed each other, and Billie Lee unfollowed both of them. Something happened at WWHL,” the fan page suspected.

    Along with the screenshots, Bravo Babe asked their followers, “What oh what could it be?!” Many of them had ideas.

    “Hahahaha did Jax bang Victoria?” one person asked.

    “Not Victoria and Jax!!!!” another proclaimed.

    “This smells like a classic Jax Taylor [bomb] drop. My guess is that he exposed something Tom said [or] did that made [Victoria] and [Billie] mad,” suspected a third.

    Another Instagram user noted that “the biggest sh*t happens after WWHL,” giving a nod to Scheana Shay, 38, learning about Sandoval’s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, after their joint appearance on the late-night talk show in March 2023.

    As fans continued to wonder what might have happened to cause the unfollows, however, things seemed to come back together — at least for Sandoval and Victoria, who were first linked to one another at the end of last year.

    Just hours after the report was shared, Sandoval has refollowed Victoria, Jax, and Billie, and Victoria has refollowed Sandoval, Jax, and Billie.

    As for Jax, he is following Sandoval and Victoria, but Billie is not following any of them.

    Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval had an emotional moment with one another at the Vanderpump Rules reunion, which was filmed back in March.

    In a just-released sneak peek at the upcoming special, Ariana, 38, and Sandoval, 41, tear up while discussing their past relationship as Lala Kent, 33, warns Ariana of an impending fight backstage, Jo Wenberg accuses Katie Maloney, 37, of ganging up on her, and Lisa Vanderpump, 63, hints at someone’s exit from the series.

    “You’ve all been through such an interesting, shared experience for over a decade that we wanted you to watch this ending together and then get your real-time reactions,” Andy Cohen, 55, states as the preview begins.

    Although it isn’t revealed what the finale entailed, Ariana seems deeply impacted by the events.

    “It hurts my feelings a whole lot. It really does,” she cries.

    “You know me well enough to know that this is not acting,” Sandoval replies.

    “I don’t,” Ariana insists.

    Sandoval then tells his former girlfriend, “You knew me, Ariana.” But she continues to cry and tells him, “I just want you away from me. I just want you gone.”

    At that point, a message across the screen reads, “Seven hours earlier,” and the cast is seen arriving at their Los Angeles set.

    “You can cut the tension with a knife,” Tom Schwartz, 40, tells Lisa.

    “How do you feel about seeing Ariana today?” Andy asks Sandoval.

    “I don’t know. Nervous,” he admits.

    Elsewhere, Lala puts her dukes up at Ariana and warns her, “We get out there…”

    Once they arrive on set, Jo joins the group and shares her thoughts on Katie’s many comments against her.

    “I never felt ganged up on, honestly, by anybody except for you, Katie,” Jo states.

    “I was dealing with a lot of sh*t,” Katie replies.

    “It’s no excuse,” Jo fires back.

    Sandoval and James Kennedy, 32, also butt heads.

    “I’m keeping my mouth shut about things that I’ve heard,” Sandoval says.

    “You haven’t heard sh*t,” James responds.

    Then, after Scheana Shay, 38, tells Ariana, “You should’ve walked out the f*cking door,” Sandoval attempts to defend himself.

    “There’s no ‘but,’ Tom. That sentence was over,” Scheana interjects.

    As for Lala, she appears to get upset with her castmates for keeping certain opinions to themselves.

    “Everyone wants to live their real life and I want to live my real life now,” she declares.

    As the clip concludes, Lisa says, to someone not revealed, “Sometimes it’s okay to walk away.”

    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.

    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.”

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

    Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Confirm Salary Dispute With Chef Penny Davidi, Plus New Exterior Pic of Shop Seemingly Shows Lack of Progress Ahead of Opening Date

    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 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.

    Ariana Madix Discusses What Will Make Her Return to Vanderpump Rules, Villain Edit, and Sandoval’s “Redemption Arc,” Plus Her Issue With Filming on Season 11

    Ariana Madix isn’t yet sure if she will return to Vanderpump Rules for its upcoming 12th season.

    While representing her Single AF Cocktails book at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California, Ariana, 38, shared what would make her reprise her role, reacted to the “villain edit” she received on season 11, and commented on the “redemption arc” producers seemingly attempted to give Tom Sandoval, 41.

    “I think ultimately it would have to make sense for me,” Ariana explained on April 21, via Us Weekly. “Our show has always thrived, it’s always at its best when it’s at its most authentic and real and I have to be able to show up and be real and be authentic in order for it to make sense for me. So that’s the question I’d be asking myself going into it.”

    Looking back on the 11th season, Ariana said that while producers attempted to get viewers to sympathize with Sandoval following his season 10 affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, he didn’t do himself any favors.

    “They’re trying really hard to give someone a redemption season and he’s just not participating in it,” she stated.

    As for her own edit, Ariana made it clear she felt she received a bad one after a moderator mentioned that there were concerns for a potential villain edit.

    “Oh, you didn’t think I didn’t?” Ariana asked.

    According to Ariana, she believes season 11 would have been different if producers had waited longer to pick cameras back up between season 10.

    “I understand why they did that,” she said. “[But] when it comes to trauma response — fight, flight or freeze — I’m a freezer so you literally see me frozen in my room with everything I own, putting things in boxes, trying to clean out my closet but I’m literally frozen. For me personally, just as an individual, I think for me, it would have been better for me [to wait to film].”

    As Pump Rules fans well know, Ariana refused to film with Sandoval in the wake of his affair as the rest of the cast got back to business as usual, with many surprising Ariana with their behavior.

    “You only know what you film so obviously things that are being said amongst other people when I’m not there — I don’t know what they’re talking about,” Ariana noted. “I felt like I was filming a season that felt very different than what I’m watching just in terms of the relationships. ‘We’re the Spice Girls,’ and then it’s like, no.”

    In particular, Lala Kent, 33, and Scheana Shay, 38, who were previously close with Ariana, made surprising comments about Ariana’s alleged self-absorbed antics post-“Scandoval.”

    “I think something that is important and part of any reality show is they always want to have conversation. They don’t want the audience to be on one side or the other so they will always try to even the playing field. They’ve always done that,” Ariana reasoned. “They always will. I knew going into that they were going to do everything they could to even the playing field.”

    Also during the appearance, Ariana, who is set to star on Love Island USA as its season six host, confirmed her and Katie Maloney‘s sandwich shop, Something About Her, will open “very soon.”

    Rachel “Raquel” Leviss took to her Instagram page on Tuesday night to fire back at a series of claims that were made against her on the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules.

    After Scheana Shay, 38, and Lala Kent, 33, reacted to her suggestion that she and Ariana Madix, 38, were never that close, and Ally Lewber, 29, suggested she lied about being in love with Tom Sandoval, 41, and targeted her dog-related claims about James Kennedy, 32, Raquel posted clips from her August 2023 interview with Bethenny Frankel, 53.

    “Claim: She said they were acquaintances at best,” read the caption of one of Raquel’s posts on April 16.

    As the clip saw Scheana, Lala, and Ariana discussing Ariana’s friendship with Raquel, Raquel edited the snippet by adding an excerpt from her podcast interview.

    “Ariana and I were not best friends. We were acquaintances who became friends through the show,” she said months ago, alleging they never had one-on-one hangouts.

    “I wasn’t hanging out with Ariana off-camera to begin with, [but] I did start hanging out with her in a group setting because Tom would always invite me out,” she explained. “It did seem like we were close friends from the outside looking in but in those situations, I was hanging out with Tom more than I was hanging out with her.”

    Raquel also said she “really did believe” that Ariana and Sandoval were her friends before seemingly contradicting herself, adding, “We never had a deep conversation that I would have with a best friend.”

    After posting the clip, many of Raquel’s fans and followers wondered if she’d been hacked and suggested her interview clips made her look worse, not better.

    “Is the goal of this to make you look better ??? Cuz it don’t,” one person stated.

    “Girlllll get yourself a PR team or fire the one you have,” advised another.

    “Doesn’t this make you look bad?” asked a third.

    With a second clip on her Instagram page, Raquel shared the caption, “Claim: she said she was never in love with Tom.”

    And in response, she was seen telling Bethenny, “I believed I was in love with Tom at the time. I now look back on it and see I was not in love with him … I also don’t believe that he truly was in love with me either.”

    Again, fans were left confused.

    “What’s this supposed to prove,” one wondered.

    A third clip featured the claim about her blaming James for Graham (now known as Hippie) being a biter.

    “He doesn’t have dog experience and he’s part of the reason why Graham is a biter,” Raquel had shared with Bethenny. “James would encourage Graham to bite his hands hard and he liked that sensation so of course that trained Graham to be a biter.”

    Again, Raquel’s fans and followers were not getting her point.

    “I’m so confused why you are posting all these ‘claims.’ You are proving that their claims were correct…. I’m so lost,” someone stated.

    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.”

    Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules is in full swing, and it serves as a departure from the high level of drama from last year. However, this doesn’t mean that the cast isn’t divided. One fallout that stings more than others happened between Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix.

    Of course, much of this has to do with Scheana seemingly not supporting her friend through her breakup. Now, Scheana is opening up about where they stand and how they might move forward.

    Beyond the drama about Scheana not supporting Ariana, there have also been several talks about her potentially being jealous of all the opportunities Ariana has gotten. 

    Recently, Page Six caught up with the Vanderpump Rules star and asked her about their troubled friendship. She had this to say, “Things definitely aren’t where they were a year ago.”

    However, Scheana goes on to say that she did attend Ariana’s final performance as Roxie Hart in Chicago. 

    “We didn’t really [talk] — I mean, I went with Brock, we said hi after. She was absolutely incredible, but she’s a very busy person right now, as am I.”

    However, she says that there is hope of them getting back on good terms. Unfortunately, the recently filmed reunion might make that harder. 

    Scheana says, “I think it’s just tough, the position we’re all in, and the reunion didn’t necessarily help bring us closer together.”

    She continues, “Look, we are a very resilient group. We’ve come back from a lot. I feel like things that have happened over the past year hit differently than anything that’s ever hit this group. But never say never. I think right now we all just kind of need some time and space to just focus on our own careers and families. Hopefully, there’s a Season 12, we all come back together and you see the rest of it then.”

    There has been much talk about what may or may not have happened at the reunion. However, fans still have a while to wait before they find out what it could have been. Still, it seems it may be worth the wait as it’s been such a topic. 

    Hopefully, Scheana and Ariana can find a way to move forward in their friendship without one having to compromise too much of themselves. 

    In other news, Scheana recently bought a $2.5 million home in Los Angeles. However, there has been much speculation that she purchased it as a way to join The Valley, which is a Vanderpump Rules spin off.

    Regarding the rumors, she says, “I just want to make it clear we didn’t buy houses in the valley to try and hop on a different show. It’s just the best place to buy in LA when you have a family.”

    However, she would “love” to do both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley.  She says, “I think the crossovers are really fun. I hope Vanderpump Rules continues for many years, but I think it makes sense for us to do more crossovers, I think it’s only natural. This is our friend group.”

    Brittany Cartwright looked back on her and Jax Taylor‘s “last fight” before their separation during an interview earlier this week.

    Weeks after confirming their split on their joint podcast, Brittany, 35, who is currently starring alongside Jax, 44, on The Valley, a spinoff of Vanderpump Rules, opened up about her “breaking point” with her estranged husband as she also reflected on his claims of her having a stroke and dished on her dream guy.

    “I’ve forgiven Jax for things that I shouldn’t have over the years. I stood by him no matter what. But after nine years, that can wear on you,” Brittany began in an April 9 interview with Us Weekly.

    Three months after separating, Brittany admitted that Jax likely thought she would “come right back” before sharing details about the fight that prompted her to leave.

    “The night that I went out with [Kristen Doute], I came home at 10 o’clock [and] he didn’t come home ‘til 4 o’clock in the morning … I don’t know if he was hungover the next morning or what, but he comes in and starts a huge fight with me,” she revealed. “He, like, made a story up in his head that [Kristen’s boyfriend], [Luke Broderick], was reaching out to him saying we were already having issues in our marriage at that time.”

    According to Brittany, who noted that Jax wants her to keep everything to herself when it comes to their relationship, Luke never actually texted Jax.

    “He just made up this big story to sort of fight with me the next morning because he was having insecurities in his own head,” she explained. “[So] I was like, ‘OK, this is insane. I cannot deal with this. This is obviously a toxic situation. If you don’t get help, then me and [our son Cruz] are not going to be living here right now.’ Because it just didn’t feel it didn’t feel right.”

    Fueling Brittany and Jax’s marriage problems in recent months has been the opening of their new bar, Jax’s Studio City.

    “If we were to be drinking, or anything like that, we were always going to be fighting. Stuff like that’s always not good if you’re already in a bad place,” Brittany noted. “I’m not saying he shouldn’t be at the bar. But there has to be a limit on how late you stay or how often you go.”

    As things between them got worse after filming the debut season of The Valley, Brittany said Jax began “staying at the bar more.” Additionally, talks stalled about having more kids — as did their sex life.

    “We weren’t being intimate. … We were getting on each other’s nerves,” she shared. “It was messing with my confidence — why is he not coming on to me? I felt like I wasn’t good enough. If you start to feel like your partner doesn’t want you and they’re also being mean to you, it’s like, ‘What am I doing here?’”

    “He would say, ‘I’m 44 and I’m tired.’ I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, everybody has kids, and not everybody’s going through this!’” she continued. “I can’t talk to him about things; he always goes on the defensive. He doesn’t care about my side.”

    Brittany also became frustrated after seeing that Jax had said she had a stroke on House of Villains.

    “It was very embarrassing, and he doesn’t really understand,” Brittany stated. “To him, he would be like, ‘Well, I just care about you. I was so worried about you. I care about you so much. Like, I was just telling a story.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, but you added that I, for sure, had a stroke and you knew at that point that I didn’t.’ So you just lied on a TV show. That’s harmful to me.”

    “He acknowledged it but then he’s always like, ‘I said sorry.’ He likes to think that just saying, ‘I’m sorry,’ will be fine and we should move on,” she added. “I can’t do that now, this is too serious. And if things don’t change, then we can’t be together because we’re gonna be unhappy for the rest of our lives.”

    Following their return to television, Brittany felt that Jax “got a bit of a big head again.”

    “He’d made a lot of changes for Cruz, but he started being the old Jax [again]. All season long I wanted to be with him and then things got continually worse,” she shared.

    Jax even threw their TV return in Brittany’s face, reportedly telling her, “I got us a show,” to make her feel like she “wouldn’t have anything without him.”

    Although Brittany put up with Jax’s shenanigans, including his affair with Faith Stowers, for many years, she reassessed their marriage after welcoming son Cruz in April 2021.

    “I realized I wanted more in a relationship. I need to make sure Cruz isn’t living in a house where his parents are fighting; that could be a horrible way to grow up,” she reasoned.

    As for whether she’s still in love with Jax, Brittany said, “I am. But it’s different.”

    “I was very naive in the beginning on Vanderpump Rules. I was on a TV show, being embarrassed by Jax, but I was madly in love, and I just wanted to be with him. I’m different now. I can stand up for myself and not take his sh*t anymore,” she declared.

    While Brittany confirmed that a reconciliation between her and Jax is possible, she added that “a lot of things” need to happen first.

    “Things are in his hands if he’s going to fix some things in our relationship, so we will see,” she said. “I’m not seeing enough effort from his side. He needs to go to therapy. He doesn’t need to be staying out at the bar all the time. He needs to respect me more and stop taking me for granted.”

    He also needs to stop making Brittany feel like his “punching bag.”

    “He was always giving me jabs. I can’t deal with that for the rest of my life,” she stated. “He’s never satisfied. We have our son and this beautiful home, the bar, and a successful podcast, and he still needs more. He’s gone to doctors and complains that he needs help but then never goes back. I had to pick up the pieces all the time. It’s very frustrating.”

    “I won’t waste my time and get back into a toxic situation. Now the veil has been lifted and I see how much I was always cleaning up Jax’s messes. I’m thrown in the middle of all these fights and constantly forced to apologize for him in the media and to friends. It’s hard,” she went on.

    Looking ahead to their future, Brittany said if she and Jax end up divorcing, she’d love to stay in their home with Cruz.

    In the meantime, she’s focused on co-parenting.

    “If this ends in a divorce, we will discuss what happened with him later in life. We’re not fighting in front of him and we try to do fun things like the aquarium and the zoo. I feel like Cruz is happier that we’re not in the same house right now — and that tells me a lot,” she noted.

    Moving on to dating, Brittany said that while it’s “weird to even think about,” she has considered what she’d be looking for in a future partner.

    “I need someone who has their stuff together, who is confident and respectful and makes me laugh. It’s going to be difficult because I am so in the public eye,” she explained. “[Jax and I have talked about dating] here and there. We act like it would be OK, but I’m not sure. I think he’d freak out if he saw me with a man. I’d be upset, too. You can get over those things, but the first one might be strange.”

    Following their split, Brittany said she’s gotten support from the entire The Valley cast, including Kristen, and Pump Rules stars Scheana Shay and Lala Kent.

    “I’m trying to stay busy working out, spending time with my friends and talking to my family. I’m focusing on my mental and physical health. This revenge body is about to be insane! I’m getting my sparkle back,” she concluded.

    The Valley season one airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

    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.”

    Ariana Madix Faces Major Backlash From Vanderpump Rules Fans Over Dog Drama With Tom Sandoval: ‘Who Leaves Out Leftovers Around Their Dog?’

    Ariana Madix is under fire following her messy fight with Tom Sandoval on Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.

    After berating her former boyfriend, whom she labeled an “attempted dog murderer,” for letting their dog, Mya, into her room, where she consumed leftovers that ultimately led to her hospitalization, Ariana, 38, was slammed for failing to clean up after herself as fans accused her of attempting to “control” Sandoval, 41, and encouraged to be a better pet owner.

    “You went into my room with the door closed. Do not ever f*cking do that again,” Ariana told Sandoval on the April 2 episode.

    Then, in a confessional, as she recalled Mya ingesting her trash, she suggested Sandoval could have “[ended] her life.”

    “You haven’t emptied the litter box for your cat in two years,” he fired back.

    “I literally emptied the litter box when you were out of town, maybe like a f*cking week ago,” she replied.

    Following the sharing of the clip from Tuesday’s Pump Rules, fans were quick to wonder why Ariana had food out in the first place — especially since she was reportedly out of town.

    “Bro you left food in your room … Dog owner no no 101,” one person stated.

    “No grown adult should have old takeout containers in their bedroom from the night before,” another agreed.

    A third person said they were “so over” Ariana, and someone else said the incident was “her fault.”

    “She should have thrown away her dangerous food trash fully knowing her dog would eat it if given the opportunity,” they wrote.

    Others said that Ariana’s behavior was making them “love Sandoval again.”

    “Wait. Why was there leftovers in your room and you’re out of town?!” one person asked.

    As fans continued to wonder why someone would leave their leftovers lying around in a household with pets, one particular Instagram user suspected Ariana was trying to control her ex-boyfriend.

    “She wants to control this man so bad!!! He has a voice and he can speak!!! Who made you God my sear?!?!? Aww, [you’re] going to call 911 because he has a voice,” they stated.

    Another person singled out the fact that Ariana admitted to having neglected to clean her litter box for several days.

    “A litter box needs to be emptied out way more than once a week. [Ariana], you need to take better care of your animals,” they demanded.

    A viewer also accused Ariana of being “rude” and “aggressive” towards Tom Schwartz, as another fan wanted her to take “accountability.” One more fan accused Ariana and Katie Maloney of being “insufferable” this season.

    Despite the backlash, Ariana did get some support as one fan felt she “should’ve been meaner” to Sandoval, and another reminded fans that this was all filmed just a few months following the “betrayal” from Sandoval.

    Brittany Cartwright opened up about the moments that led to her separation from Jax Taylor on Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday night.

    As host Andy Cohen, 55, asked her a series of questions about their breakup, Brittany, 35, admitted she and Jax, 44, were fighting all the time and had created a “toxic” environment at home before their split as she also spoke of their bar, Jax’s Studio City, her feelings about therapy, and how she’s doing without him.

    “We just had a horrible fight and it was like a veil was lifted and I noticed everything wrong. They always say a woman can hit her breaking point and then it’s hard to come back from that,” Brittany revealed of her and Jax’s separation on the April 2 episode of WWHL. “He kinda woke up one morning and was mad that I went out with [Kristen Doute] the night before and kind of like made up a story in his head and started a fight over something that never happened.”

    Although that particular fight was the straw that broke the camel’s back, Brittany said there were many before it.

    “It got to the point where we fought about everything. A cabinet would be open and I was mad that he didn’t shut a cabinet. It could be anything at that point. It was just a very toxic situation that I felt like I needed to remove myself from,” she explained.

    While there have been claims of potential infidelity, Brittany said she “did all the digging” and “made sure” she hadn’t been cheated on.

    “[Janet Caperna], from The Valley, she like, dove in and was like ‘Let’s figure everything out,’ so we already knew that wasn’t true,” she confirmed. “I feel like there’s always rumors about Jax no matter what.”

    According to Brittany, she doesn’t think Jax cheated on her but wonders if he would in the future.

    “Mmmm I mean, I feel like he has been in our marriage so far but do I feel like he could for the rest of my life’? I’m not sure,” she admitted, noting that they are “still separated” and that she’s “still in the Airbnb.”

    On the heels of the news of their separation, Jax denied that their bar was a factor in their split. But, on WWHL, Brittany hinted that wasn’t completely true.

    “A little bit but I mean, if you do things the right way it’s not gonna affect your marriage,” she explained.

    As she continues to navigate her new life as a single mom living away from Jax, Brittany, who confessed that “lots” of her friends were happy about the breakup, said they’ve been doing well co-parenting their 2-year-old son Cruz as she applauded Jax as a “great father.”

    “That’s our main priority no matter what,” she stated.

    As Vanderpump Rules fans will recall, Brittany and Jax were accused of staging their split to promote The Valley when it was first announced. But, as Brittany noted, she would never do such a thing.

    “It was so hurtful for me because I feel like I’ve always shown my true character and I feel like why would anybody think I would do that, especially with my son. I would never put him through that for no reason, for a fake stunt. That doesn’t make sense,” she reasoned.

    When Andy then asked if she and Jax were in therapy, Brittany confirmed they were not.

    “That’s one of my things that I said needs to happen but no,” she shared.

    Brittany went on to say that her and Jax’s sex life began to dwindle before Cruz’s birth and noted that things between them are currently “up in the air.”

    “I feel like I’m really strong right now,” she said. “I feel like I’ve grown a lot in the past couple years, especially after having Cruz, I’ve gotten so much stronger and I feel like I deserve better. Also, watching myself back, even on the first couple episodes of The Valley, I’m constantly cleaning up messes because I’m ride or die for the people I love so I always try to bring people together and make things better but also people are watching it mad at me that I was doing that but that [is] my husband. But I notice these things now. So that’s the difference.”

    Raquel Leviss Discusses If She’d Return to Reality TV and One Year of Sobriety, Suggests Vanderpump Rules is ‘Unethical,’ & Talks DMs From Fans After Scandal

    Rachel “Raquel” Leviss opened up about how she’s been helping fans on her podcast while attending an awards show on Monday night.

    Months after quitting her role on Vanderpump Rules following her scandalous affair with Tom Sandoval, 41, Raquel, 29, said she’s been empowered by her podcast as she also shared her thoughts on returning to reality television, revealed she’s nearly a year sober, and explained how she’s taking care of her mental health after undergoing a months-long treatment plan last year.

    “I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy doing a podcast because it’s not really my thing, but I’m actually enjoying it so much. I feel like it’s given me my power back, and I just feel empowered doing it so it’s been great,” Raquel told E! News at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on April 1. “It feels like there’s a healing aspect of it, just like sharing what I’ve learned about myself through this journey and this experience, and hopefully helping other people who have been through abusive relationships, toxic friend groups that can relate to what I’m talking about.”

    Although Raquel faced a world of backlash after her secret romance with Sandoval, who was dating her close friend, Ariana Madix, 38, at the time, was exposed in March 2023, she said that one year later, the dust has settled.

    “I have gotten a lot of DMs, people apologizing for bashing me and saying, ‘Now listening to your podcast, I’ve learned more about the situation and I was too quick to judge and I just want to send you some love and encouragement so that’s been really nice,” Raquel revealed.

    When she was then asked about a possible return to TV, Raquel said she’d never consider “if it is anything like Vanderpump Rules.”

    “I think there is a way we could create ethical reality TV, and I think if we keep working towards that and seeing what that might look like, maybe in the future I will,” she added.

    After walking away from her role on Pump Rules last summer as the cast began filming season 11, Raquel said she unfollowed most Bravo-related pages on social media, except a few that are “more biased” to her side.

    “I like to know that my voice is being heard. On my explore page, it’s all Bravo, but I like to keep the people that I follow just kind of a good mental, positive affirmations so that when I leave Instagram I’m like, ‘Okay, I feel good,’” she shared.

    Also during the interview, Raquel said she’s been staying active as she continues to focus on her mental health.

    “I’ve been diving right into hot yoga. I do hot yoga twice a week. I’m doing pilates, hiking, staying really active so that my mind doesn’t go spinning and I’m not scrolling on Instagram or anything, and then creating a good community,” she detailed. “I am almost a year sober. I’ll be a year sober on Wednesday, so it’s a huge accomplishment and I’m really proud of how far I’ve come.”

    Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz Shares What Max Told Him After Katie Hookup, Says Kate Was “On a Mission” as She Addresses “Surprising” Encounter and Slams Scheana

    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.”
