Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay Clashes With Ariana Madix For This Shocking Reason
Summary
- Scheana Shay is caught in the middle of a friendship feud between Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval on Vanderpump Rules.
- Scheana struggles to choose between her bond with Tom and Ariana, risking backlash from the latter.
- The tension between Scheana and Ariana may lead to a major blowout as the cast members take sides on the reality show.
Scheana Shay is turning her back on Ariana Madix, at least according to a preview of the next episode of Vanderpump Rules. Tom Sandoval’s affair in which he cheated on Ariana with Raquel Leviss, rocked the reality TV world and even received an aptly-titled nickname: Scandoval. After the fallout from the scandal, Raquel spent a period of time at a mental health facility and chose not to return to Vanderpump Rules. Tom is still on the Bravo reality show, but the Vanderpump Rules season 11 cast members have been forced to choose sides.
Scheana calls up Ariana to reveal that she’s no longer going to distance herself from Tom.
However, choosing sides is taking a toll on some of the Vanderpump Rules season 11 stars, especially Scheana. After Vanderpump Rules season 11, episode 5, a preview of the next episode teased the drama that will unfold soon on TV. According to Us Weekly, who recapped the teaser, Scheana calls up Ariana to reveal that she’s no longer going to distance herself from Tom, which will put her directly at odds with Ariana.
Scheana Shay Is Afraid Of Backlash From Ariana
On the phone call, Scheana says, “I’m mad that he did all of this and I miss my friend. I can’t keep hating him for you.” Right before this scene is teased, Katie Maloney is shown talking to Ariana about how she would respond if anyone decided to stay in Tom’s life. Ariana makes it clear to Katie that she would not remain friends if that were to happen. This initial clash between Scheana and Ariana might open the floodgates for a larger issue going forward.
“Ariana made it very clear that anyone who chooses to remain friends with Tom Sandoval is basically dead to her.”
This confrontation between Scheana and Ariana does not come as a surprise, of course. The former has been teasing that a moment like this would eventually happen. In fact, in a recent episode of Vanderpump Rules season 11, Scheana mentioned that Tom was a really good friend to her, and she questioned whether it was worth risking her bond with Ariana to remain friends with Tom. “Ariana made it very clear that anyone who chooses to remain friends with Tom Sandoval is basically dead to her.”

Television is being impacted by the ongoing entertainment industry strikes, leaving many turning to reality TV. What are the best shows right now?
Scheana is clearly torn between Tom and Ariana. She’s very aware of the boundaries that Ariana put up and what would happen if they were disregarded. Scheana no longer wants to “hate” Tom, so she’s going to have to decide which friendship is worth keeping because if Ariana is serious about her threat, things could get ugly. It’s a really tough situation to be in. Tom has rightly received so much backlash over Scandoval, and Ariana is the real victim in all of this. It’ll be very interesting to see if Scheana and Ariana have a major blowout or if they’re able to come to an understanding.
