Tom Sandoval and Scheana Shay had been good friends for many years before Vanderpump Rules even started. They had initially started working at Villa Blanca together. Then, Sandoval was moved to SUR, and in Season 1, Shay was introduced as the new girl there. She was also very close to Ariana Madix who had worked with the two of them at Villa Blanca. Madix joined the cast in Season 2 when they decided to bring her over as a new bartender. Through some ups and downs, Shay always felt that she and Sandoval had a special bond.

She noted that when no one was there for her in the early days when they were promoting the show, Tom Sandoval made her feel included. Sadly, when Sandoval cheated on Madix, Scheana Shay said that she could no longer have a friendship with him. More so, she even called him “sick” after learning of multiple infidelities. Now, she is opening up about the struggle to break free from their friendship when it came to the aftermath of ‘Scandoval.’ According to People, Scheana discussed it on her Scheananigans podcast.

“I never thought he was a bad guy. He was one of my best friends for almost 15 years. He was the only person who had my back on this show, who fought for me whenever something was unfair and he was the person there in my corner. I have personally really struggled with all this because I’m like, ‘Yes, you did a really bad thing. But you weren’t a bad friend to me. But then what you have done has affected me, so it’s just changed the entire dynamic of our group.”

Can She Forgive & Forget?

Filming on Season 11 has ended and they have had to work through their issues during their time together. Tom Sandoval and Scheana Shay were paired up for a “spiritual meditation healing” exercise. She revealed that it drained her more than her whole time on the show. However, co-star Lala Kent was shocked that she gave away such a spoiler and wondered if she would get into trouble for this. It is unclear where the two stand as of now but it seems like maybe she will be willing to move forward in some capacity.
