Scheana Shay didn’t respect how Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney responded to her opening up about the way in which she’d been impacted by “Scandoval” on the most recent episode of Vanderpump Rules.
After Scheana, 38, was seen sharing her ideas on Lisa Vanderpump‘s concern for the mental health of Tom Sandoval, 41, to an unmoved Ariana, 38, and Katie, 37, she accused the ladies of disregarding her feelings as Lala Kent, 33, and James Kennedy, 32, argued about whether or not Scheana’s historical past with Sandoval, which stems again additional than her relationship with Ariana, ought to imply one thing to their castmates.
“This is just why there’s certain people I open up to and there’s certain people I don’t want to, because of responses like that,” Scheana started on the February 20 episode of the Pump Rules: After Show. “I’m trying to say that this conversation I just had is weighing heavy on me and instead of them seeing my feelings or how this is bringing up something else about someone else I lost to suicide years ago, it was just like, ‘Well that’s not fair she did that to you.’”
Although Ariana and Katie didn’t agree with Lisa seemingly placing the accountability of Sandoval’s psychological well being on anybody however him, Scheana mentioned they ignored what she’d been by means of up to now together with her late pal.
“I’m literally in tears right now and I just didn’t really feel like anyone, them especially, asked, ‘Is there something else going on,’ ‘Why is this affecting you so much?’” she recalled.
Meanwhile, in her personal section, Ariana puzzled why Scheana wanted Sandoval’s validation, particularly contemplating the truth that he’d minimized their friendship up to now.
“It’s sad to miss someone who said they don’t give a f*ck about you. It’s sad for her,” she acknowledged. “He was a vocal supporter of what she claims was the most traumatic thing she’s been through, this restraining order stuff, and also said they were never really friends and he didn’t give a f**ck about her so I think it’s sad that she would be seeking out validation or approval from him.”
“Don’t be asking for my approval, the go-ahead, or the support in that,” she added as Katie agreed that Scheana gave the impression to be “looking for approval.”
Because Scheana is admittedly somebody who “struggles with boundaries,” she mentioned it was “really hard” distancing herself from Sandoval on account of their in depth previous with each other.
“[It was] not just some random guy Ariana was dating, this was Sandoval. This was my first friend in this group, this was my only friend in this group when this show started. This was the only person that consistently had my back,” she shared.
Then, after confirming she and Sandoval labored at Villa Blanca collectively for over a yr earlier than Ariana joined them, Lala and James started arguing about whether or not or not that mattered, with James saying, “That doesn’t mean sh*t.”
“It does matter actually because it wasn’t like she was best friends with Ariana and then [Ariana] was like, ‘This is my boyfriend,’ and he came with the f*cking package. They had a standalone friendship. She has history with Sandoval behind the relationship he had with Ariana,” Lala fired again.
“That’s what I think people aren’t understanding. I’m like, ‘But this was my best friend f*cking over my best friend.’ It is different,” Scheana replied. “If [Brock Davies] did this to me, Ariana and Brock have never had a friendship.”
According to Lala, she believes that as a result of Ariana and Sandoval had been dwelling collectively on the time, it additional sophisticated issues for Scheana, who she believed deserved grace.
“The difference here is you don’t get to roll up on people and tell them ‘You don’t get to kick it with Tom Sandoval but I’m going to go home where he sleeps, I sleep down the hall.’ It don’t work that way,” she acknowledged. “Can you imagine if I said to f*cking [Tom Schwartz], ‘How dare you play pickleball with my ex [Randall Emmett].’ And I still lived in the house? I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. Scheana went through something. Scheana had to say goodbye to a friend that she had known for many years and then come to the conclusion that ‘I don’t know this person at all.’ It has been an internal conflict for her, and no one gives her any grace.”
Vanderpump Rules season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
