Scheana Shay Explaining Her Choice to Stand Up for Ariana Madix Against Lala Kent’s Insults

Scheana Shay is clapping back at Vanderpump Rules viewers who are suggesting she is flip-flopping between Ariana Madix and Lala Kent.

“I’ve been reading different perspectives and I see people saying I’m backpedaling,” Scheana, 39, said on the Friday, June 21, episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast. “Because it’s like, God forbid I say one thing in support of Ariana. And they’re like, ‘You’re backpedaling.’ No, I’ve gotten perspective. I’ve seen the season, time has passed.”

During season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana was aligned with Lala and cast members who were struggling with Ariana for not forgiving Tom Sandoval after he cheated with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. However, after Lala came for Ariana when filming wrapped, Scheana defended Ariana.

“I’ve had conversations with Ariana, conversations with Lala and conversations with production. Like things just do change,” Scheana argued on Friday.

During the season 11 finale, which aired in May, Lala shocked viewers when she broke the fourth wall by slamming Ariana for not filming with Sandoval. Lala continued to throw digs on various podcast appearances and aftershows where she accused Ariana of not pulling her weight.

“I’m going to be real about Ariana. She coasts through every single f–king season. And we are asking you to have one conversation with Tom Sandoval — the guy you shoved down our throats for so many years,” Lala said on an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show in May. “That guy, who you still live with. We are asking you to have one conversation and you can’t do that?”

Scheana had previously defended Ariana from that take.

“I know Lala made a comment about Ariana just floating for a few seasons or not giving much,” Scheana said on her podcast earlier this month. “But I also know that Ariana was battling with depression for several years, and I think that she was giving her 100 percent.”
