Are Scheana Shay & Ariana Madix On Solid Ground?

After ‘Scandoval’ hit, fans were confused as to why Scheana Shay made it all about her. She was hit with a restraining order by Rachel Leviss but it was Ariana Madix who had been cheated on by her partner of nearly a decade, Tom Sandoval. Plus, he did it with Leviss, who was supposed to be her best friend. Scheana being Scheana, claimed she felt for Ariana but also had her own legal problems. Furthermore, she maintained she had known Sandoval longer than she had Ariana so losing that friendship was heartbreaking.

In Season 11, she was torn if she could mend fences with Sandoval or keep her distance out of respect for Ariana. Scheana’s husband maintained Sandoval was a better friend than Ariana but she had become insanely busy. By the reunion, it was Katie Maloney and Ariana versus Lala Kent and Scheana. After it ended, Scheana admitted she did not talk much to Sandoval or Ariana. Then, just a short time ago, he sued Ariana which enraged Scheana. Now, according to @byewighellodrama, Scheana is opening up about where she stands with both of her co-stars.

She spoke out on her Scheananigans podcast and fans wanted to know if she had talked to Ariana since Sandoval sued her. The lawsuit has since been dropped but prior, did she reach out? Scheana Shay admits that she did not though she did after Rachel Leviss sued Ariana and Sandoval. Based on her response, maybe she did not want to talk about it. Plus, Scheana felt Ariana was likely getting inundated with messages. Finally, she supports all Ariana Madix is doing but not Sandoval’s “antics” at all.

What About Tom Sandoval?

So, Scheana Shay is not communicating with her former best friend, Ariana Madix but what is happening with Tom Sandoval? She was trying so hard to get back to where they once were even if it meant hurting Ariana. Admittedly, she does not regret how she acted in Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules but would not do it the same way again. Now that Sandoval has dropped the suit against Ariana, can Scheana forgive him or does she still have harsh feelings toward him?


She is struggling to believe that he did not know what he was signing like he claims he did. More so, she maintains she and Sandoval have not been good for about a year and a half. Scheana was only there when she learned he was having suicidal thoughts so she wanted to be a support. She also added that they were filming so they had to be together. Fans did not buy it and felt Ariana did not trust Scheana enough as a safe space.

Do you think Ariana and Scheana can ever get back to where they were or are they in two different places? Is Ariana better off with her and, finally, will Scheana forgive Sandoval? Let us know in the comments below.
