“Vanderpump Rules” star Katie Maloney expressed her confusion over Scheana Shay’s decision to hang out with Tom Sandoval, especially after he cheated on their friend Ariana Madix.
Katie, 36, shared her concerns exclusively with Us Weekly on Saturday, November 4, during BravoCon. She questioned Scheana’s choices, wondering why she continues to spend time with Sandoval, who is 40 years old. Katie and Ariana, 38, discussed Scheana’s actions on the BravoCon red carpet, expressing their bewilderment.
Scheana, 38, and Sandoval were seen together in Las Vegas for BravoCon, defying expectations set by their fellow cast members. In the season 11 trailer of “Vanderpump Rules,” Scheana is seen hugging Sandoval, raising eyebrows among her friends. Despite Katie’s advice, Scheana appears undeterred, risking her friendship with Ariana.
Katie revealed that she questioned Scheana about her choices, prompting Ariana to share her perspective. Ariana acknowledged the situation’s weirdness and emphasized the importance of making smart decisions. Despite the discomfort, Scheana admitted to being paired with Sandoval for a “spiritual meditation” exercise during the upcoming season, airing on Bravo in January 2024.
Sandoval faced backlash from his castmates after his affair with former co-star Raquel Leviss came to light in March. Raquel, 29, decided not to return for season 11, seeking treatment for her mental health after confronting her co-stars during the season 10 reunion. Despite the challenges, Sandoval chose to confront the situation and continue with the show.
