  • 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.

  • Scheana Shay Snubs Lala Kent’s Birthday as Fans Suspect a Feud Amid The Valley Filming, Plus Tom Schwartz Mocks Dating Rumors With Lala

    Did Scheana Shay snub Lala Kent on her birthday because Lala failed to promote her new book, My Good Side, in a way she approved of?

    As Tom Schwartz, 42, honored Lala on her 35th birthday, September 2, with a post on his Instagram Story, the 40-year-old Vanderpump Rules cast member was radio silent about Lala, whom she called out on her podcast days prior for sharing just one post about the memoir in which she was tagged.

    “Scheana didn’t post for Lala’s birthday,” The Bravo Investigator revealed on September 3. “Do you think it’s retaliation for Lala not posting more than a picture of Scheana’s book with just [Scheana]?”

    After the post was shared, some suspected that there was no real drama between the ladies, but rather an effort to create buzz and potentially land themselves in full-time roles on the upcoming third season of The Valley.

    “Beef for The Valley hahahaha they [are] desperate,” one person wrote.

    “I think it has more to do with the Valley picking up filming soon and who got a spot and who didn’t, or trying to create drama so they get screen time … We know these two live to self-produce,” another alleged.

    A third fan said Scheana and Lala were “not good” as they suspected Lala would align with Janet Caperna, 35, for The Valley season three. 

    In other Lala Kent news, Tom did honor her on her special day with a post poking fun at the ongoing romance rumors regarding the two of them.

    “HAPPY BDAY … to my imaginary internet [girlfriend,” Tom wrote, as seen in a screenshot shared by Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

    Months ago, after fans suspected there was chemistry between them, Lala addressed the matter on her podcast, Give Them Lala, with Tom as her guest.

    “People always said that… We talked about it. I feel like I would be way too high-strung and intense for you,” she told her castmate.

    “Remember, these were your words: You would chew me up,” he replied. “No, I think you said, ‘I eat pieces of sh*t like you for breakfast.’”

    Days later, on Tom’s podcast, Detox Retox, he and Lala spoke more about the rumors.

    “If it’s on the internet, it’s true, right?” he laughed. “I woke up today, the first thing I saw from my good dear friend, Jesus, who you’ve met, [is] a text, he’s like … what’s up with you and Lala? And then he sent me a screenshot of this [rumor]. And then I got another text from somebody else, another article, rumors abound today that we’re dating.”

    “I won’t even lie, Schwartz,” Lala admitted. “Since the podcast that you did, my podcast, I’ve had some dreams. And I wake up [like], what the f*ck?”

    The Valley season three is currently in production.

  • 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.”

  • Scheana Shay is ‘Frustrated’ After Ariana Votes ‘No’ on Pump Rules Returning Amid Worries About Livelihood, Shares Why Katie Hid Her True Feelings From Ariana, and Addresses Lala’s Shade, & Criticism of Ariana

    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.

    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.

    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 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.”

    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.”

    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.”

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

    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.”

  • Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright Dish on Rude Encounter With Justin Hartley, Why They Called Shep “Worst Guest” at Wedding, and His Makeout With Scheana #VanderpumpRules

    Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright Dish on Rude Encounter With Justin Hartley, Why They Called Shep “Worst Guest” at Wedding, and His Makeout With Scheana #VanderpumpRules

    Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright looked back on a “rude” encounter with actor Justin Hartley on an episode of their podcast last week.

    After welcoming guest Shep Rose, 44, of Southern Charm, Jax, 44, and Brittany, 35, put Justin, 47, on blast for acting as if he was above them during a run-in at the Kentucky Derby years ago as they also revealed if Shep was truly their worst wedding guest and detailed his apparent makeout with Scheana Shay, 38.

    “I can say this guy ’cause I really don’t like him… I had the best experience with Lady Gaga, I mean the fact that she knew about me, she wanted to know about my wife… It’s almost like she was excited to see me. Jennifer Lawrence, the same thing. She knew all about me, she was asking questions. Then we were at the Kentucky Derby one year right, we ran into an actor who’s probably doing a little bit better now but at the time,” Jax began on the February 8 episode of When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany.

    “He just rubbed us the wrong way, and he thought he was a little too cool for us,” the Vanderpump Rules star continued. “He literally just snubbed us … He was dating [Chrishell Stause]. And Chrishell was so sweet to us. She was so nice.”

    According to Brittany, Justin may have let his This is Us success go to his head.

    “He was nice but it was just like when people wanted to take group photos because we were all in a group together. Like, he stood in the back with his head up to the ceiling and wouldn’t look forward, and everybody else, including the people who took care of us at the Kentucky Derby, were all in that photo,” she noted. “It just seemed a little like, rude.”

    Although Jax didn’t appreciate Justin’s treatment, he did feel that he and Brittany were a little out of their element.

    “He’s been acting his whole life, and working his way up to be invited to these parties, and Brittany and I woke up one day and decided to be on reality TV, and we’re invited and taking pictures with all these stars,” he reasoned.

    Looking back on their wedding, Brittany noted that while Shep was previously named as their worst guest, he was only given such a title due to a leaked pic he shared on social media of her and Jax’s big day.

    “You didn’t actually screw up anything but we were put on the spot on Watch What Happens Live. [Andy Cohen] said something like, ‘Who was the worst wedding guest?’ You just came to my mind immediately because you posted me walking down the aisle before the PEOPLE exclusive,” she explained. “I was like, ‘Shep knows better than to do something like that.’ But that’s the only reason we said that. It wasn’t anything like bad.”

    “You know Jax and I are so used to be the whipping boy and the fall guy that it doesn’t even matter anymore,” Shep replied.

    Jax then revealed a makeout Shep had at their wedding.

    “Who did you make out with at the wedding? Did you make out with Scheana?” he asked.

    “Yeah, that might have happened,” Shep confirmed. “I had so much fun that I don’t regret anything at that wedding.”

    Vanderpump Rules season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo, and The Valley is expected to premiere sometime this spring, also on Bravo.

  • Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval on Reason He Blocked Scheana, If He Blocked Summer Moon

    Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval on Reason He Blocked Scheana, If He Blocked Summer Moon


    Tom Sandoval is opening up about the reason behind his decision to block Scheana Shay, and her family members, on Instagram.

    After Scheana, 38, revealed on the premiere episode of Vanderpump Rules that Sandoval not only blocked her, but also her podcast, her sister, and her daughter, Summer Moon, 2, Sandoval, 41, explained why he cut social ties with his castmate, revealed if she’s still blocked, and reflected on the emotional state he was in after the sudden death of longtime friend Ali Rafiq.

    “I knew Ali. He came to visit Tom, super nice, Tom loved him like a brother, obviously, they were just so close. He was so protective of Ali. They just had always the best of times together. He’d always come to music festivals so everyone gets very close those nights. So it was hard for sure,” James Kennedy, 32, shared on the January 30 episode of the Vanderpump Rules: After Show.

    Scheana also knew that losing Ali was going to “take a huge toll” on Sandoval, which prompted her decision to send him a text message.

    “I felt like I wouldn’t be a human if I didn’t reach out and send my condolences, and I think honestly everyone pretty much in the group around then did, even [Ariana Madix] did,” Scheana revealed.

    While James reached out as well, neither of them got a response.

    “No one did,” Scheana confirmed. “I didn’t even need a response it was just, when the response was him blocking me, I was like, okay.”

    After James noted that the social media diss was “so Tom,” Sandoval looked back on what he described as “the worst periods of this whole situation.”

    “Emotionally, mentally, [I] just [was] really down and really upset and just broken,” he admitted. “I’m scrolling through constantly, and I see Scheana with another podcast episode interviewing my gardener’s nephew like to talk to me about my f*cking sleeping habits and how that is the way a narcissist sleeps and all this sh*t. And I’m like, f*cking over it. And then I get a text message from her about like, ‘Oh my gosh, let me know if you need anything at all. We’re here for you, Tom,’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I need you to back the f*ck off for like 24 hours. Like, stop obsessing over me.’”

    Even Scheana admitted that talking about “Scandoval” on her podcast became a weekly occurrence.

    “But it did stop after that happened,” she clarified.

    “That’s why I was f*cking pissed,” Sandoval explained. “I was super upset. I was insulted that she had texted me as I’m scrolling through and hearing her and [Brock Davies] like laughing hysterically calling me and [Raquel Leviss] dumb and sh*t. You gotta be f*cking kidding me.”

    According to Scheana, she felt that Sandoval blocking her was his way of telling her, “F*ck you,” and making it clear that he needed her for more than the death of his friend.

    “So kind of, ‘F*ck you. You don’t get to be here for me now when you haven’t been here for me.’ But with what he did to Ariana, he didn’t deserve for any of us to be there during that time,” she noted.

    In addition to blocking Scheana, Sandoval explained why her toddler ended up blocked as well.

    “I don’t block people ever really, but when I do I just hit ‘block account and any accounts associated with it.’ I would do that so if people were trolling me they can’t just start another account and do it again,” he shared. “For some reason I guess that blocked Summer Moon’s account.”

    When Sandoval was then asked if he still had Scheana blocked, he said, “No, I don’t think so. No. I unblocked everybody.”

    Meanwhile, Scheana noted, “I think he still follows my mom.”

  • Pump Rules’ Tom Sandoval on Who Had Most Empathy for Him, Potential Redemption Arc, & Ariana

    Pump Rules’ Tom Sandoval on Who Had Most Empathy for Him, Potential Redemption Arc, & Ariana

    Tom Sandoval is speaking out about his potential redemption arc and viewers possibly turning on his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, amid Vanderpump Rules season 11.

    Ahead of the new season’s premiere, Sandoval, 41, is dishing on what brought the cast “together” amid production, sharing his thoughts on viewers’ perception, and revealing which co-stars had the most empathy for him after “Scandoval.” He also reacted to Katie Maloney‘s warning to Scheana Shay, 38, and he admitted the season would’ve been “different” had Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, not quit.

    “I think that a lot of my castmates and friends, we had such deep connections, and obviously when all this stuff happened, we weren’t talking at all, and it was a lot of, on both sides, being very reactive,” Sandoval recalled during an interview with Page Six at the premiere party last week.

    Months later, after the cast had time to cool off, Sandoval said there was a shift in their dynamic.

    “When you start to see us come together, you can’t help but find that common ground, or the [reason] we became friends — the love that has always been there,” he explained.

    As far as Ariana and her potentially bad season, Sandoval said he wasn’t sure how fans would receive her since he doesn’t know much about her season 11 storyline.

    “I can’t really say much about it because I wasn’t really around her,” he shared. “I didn’t talk to her so I don’t know if she did certain things or how she acted.”

    According to Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, 40, and his longtime friend Kyle Chan were quite supportive of him after “Scandoval” broke in March of last year. But they weren’t the only ones he had in his corner.

    “Definitely [Brock Davies] and Scheana,” he replied when asked who was “most supportive.”

    When Sandoval was then asked about Katie, 37, warning Scheana not to get too close to him because it could jeopardize her friendship with Ariana, 38, he said, “I’m not necessarily in agreement with that, but I’m not Katie Maloney.”

    “She obviously has her thoughts,” he added.

    Also during the interview, Sandoval was asked how the season would be different had Raquel chosen to return.

    “Oh, I have no idea. Oh my gosh.. Of course, it probably would’ve been different,” he stated.

    Vanderpump Rules season 11 premieres Tuesday, January 30, at 8/7c on Bravo.

    Ariana Madix is seen screaming at Tom Sandoval in the first look at the upcoming 11th season of Vanderpump Rules.

    As BravoCon kicked off on Friday, with much of the cast in attendance, the new season was teased, with James Kennedy, 31, literally drawing a line in the sand, Katie Maloney, 36, warning Scheana Shay, 38, about her potential friendship with Sandoval, 38, and Ariana accusing him of ruining her life and home, as sources confirmed if Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 28, was invited.

    On November 3, just about eight months after she was caught having an affair with Sandoval behind the back of her then-friend and castmate, Ariana, TMZ revealed Raquel was not asked to attend BravoCon.

    The outlet also noted that Raquel, who is currently living in Arizona, is still not in contact with her former co-stars, the majority of whom berated her earlier this year at the Pump Rules season 10 reunion.

    With Raquel hundreds of miles away, Bravo debuted the trailer for Pump Rules, which began with a message that read, “What a difference one scandal makes,” and encouraged fans to “get pumped to pick up the pieces” of Scandoval.

    The sneak peek then moves to Santa Monica Beach, where the cast is attempting to enjoy a day in the sun — as a group.

    “That’s Ariana’s side. Sandoval’s side over here. Don’t go over the line!” James proclaims.

    As the cast tries to coexist amid the falling out between Ariana and Sandoval, Lisa Vanderpump seems to be doing her best to convince the group to offer Sandoval forgiveness.

    “To lose his best friend, his business is up the creek, everything has gone wrong in his life,” she explains, giving a nod to Tom Schwartz, 40, and their bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, which took a hit after Sandoval and Raquel’s affair was exposed.

    Meanwhile, Katie wants no such reunion between Sandoval and Scheana, whom she offers a stern warning.

    “Scheana, if you’re gonna be friends with him, she’s gonna f*cking cut you off so think about your next move very carefully,” she states.

    As for Ariana and Sandoval, they are seen in a scene together, during which she tells him, “[You] ruin my life, my home, and then attempt to kill my f*cking dog. My lawyer will be dealing with you!”

    Vanderpump Rules season 11 will premiere in January 2024.
