Did Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix have a very tense experience when they met up at Coachella recently? The festival always brings out the Vanderpump Rules cast. Yet, from the photos, it was clear that it was a cast divided. So, what happened when the ladies finally got together? Keep reading for more details.

Scheana Shay & Ariana Madix’s Tense Coachella Experience?

For years, Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix have done everything together. Then, ‘Scandoval’ happened and it split the cast. Initially, everyone went to Ariana’s side and avoided her ex, Tom Sandoval after he cheated on her with Rachel Leviss. Then, when Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules began, Scheana started to soften toward him. She missed the friendship that they once had as she knew Sandoval prior to meeting Ariana. Along with that, she was hurt that he blocked her and her daughter on social media but then they had an intense moment in Lake Tahoe.

Scheana started to feel that there was a chance for their friendship and even Lala Kent was open to trying to make amends. This did not sit well with Ariana but she knew she could not control anyone but herself. Allegedly, things happened at the reunion between Lala and Ariana. Therefore, they may not be on the best terms. The same goes for Scheana and Ariana who seem to have fallen off. Recently, the music festival, Coachella happened and Scheana attended with her friends, including Lala Kent.


As for Ariana, she was there with her boyfriend, Daniel Wai, and their group of female friends. However, everyone gathered to watch James Kennedy perform. His girlfriend, Ally Lewber talked to Us Weekly and shared there was some tension between Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix.

“I’m personally good with everyone. I just saw Ariana and Scheana at Coachella. There was some tension. I think at the end of the day, everyone’s a family, and I know it’s a very cheesy basic answer, but they really are. And they’ve all been through so much together where I don’t have any doubt they’ll be fine. But I do think, I’m sure some feelings are hurt.”

Talking It Out

Ally Lewber went on to note that she is neutral and was with both Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix during Coachella. She is not picking sides when it comes to this situation:

“It is hard [to be in the middle, but] I’m used to [it], I’ve been there my whole life [as a] Libra Moon. But no, in this instance, I am friends with Scheana and I am friends with Ariana. And like at Coachella, I hung out with both of them and we didn’t have to talk about any of it. And if they wanted to talk about it, they can.”

As for the reunion, Ally is just as excited as the fans are to watch it. Admittedly, it will be emotional but the 28-year-old said it was also “heavy.” Viewers just have a few more episodes to watch before the reunion airs so buckle up. Looks like a lot has still been left unresolved.

Are you surprised that things were tense between Scheana and Ariana or is that to be expected? More so, do you think Scheana has truly been a loyal friend? Let us know and watch Vanderpump Rules Tuesdays on Bravo.
