The 38-year-old’s allegiances have been referred to as into query earlier this week when she was caught hanging out together with her greatest pal’s dishonest ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval throughout a filmed forged journey to Lake Tahoe. It began when Scheana posted a video of the group (sans Ariana and Katie Maloney) heading to Lisa Vanderpump’s new restaurant Wolf. And because the fan account @QueensofBravo identified, Sandoval’s voice might be clearly heard within the background. This led them to imagine that Scheana and the group have already forgiven the Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras frontman. The social media person wrote:
“Is that Sandoval’s voice??? All is forgiven, I assume.”

Different followers additionally slammed Scheana for seemingly making amends with Sandoval – even calling her “pretend.” And when a photograph of Scheana and Sandoval smiling and standing subsequent to one another in a gaggle picture with a fan, everybody wasn’t joyful and continued to name her out for forgiving Tom. Nonetheless, the podcast host clapped again. She insisted on social media that she has not rekindled her friendship with the 41-year-old enterprise proprietor, writing on Twitter:
“Who stated all is forgiven?? We’re all right here for Lisa.”
She later stated of the image:
“I’m posing in a photograph for a fan. I take images w strangers on the every day and have my arm bent up behind ppl. Finish of story. Ought to I look depressing in a gaggle fan picture I bought thrown in strolling to our automobile?”
Even Lala Kent got here to her protection on IG Tales, saying the 2 of them – together with James Kennedy, Ally Lewber, Tom Schwartz, and Brock Davies – solely posed with Sandoval in an image because it was the fan’s birthday. Regardless of setting the report straight a number of occasions over the previous few days, the hate towards Scheana on social media has continued. And now, Ariana has entered the chat to inform everybody that sufficient is sufficient. She wrote on Instagram Tales Friday night time:
“@scheana is a tremendous pal who took a photograph with a fan for his or her birthday. there’s been so many imply feedback in direction of her for it and she or he was simply doing one thing good. we all the time attempt to cease for images and when the entire forged is current, it’s widespread for the entire forged to be within the picture no matter what’s going on between any of us on the time.”
Ariana wasn’t the one one to come back to Scheana’s protection! Her hubby Brock chimed in in regards to the drama in a since-deleted publish, saying they have been simply “caught in a second with a fan.” He continued:
“It’s onerous to not replicate on the duality of public life. Love and help on one facet, and hurtful feedback on the opposite — notably about my spouse. It stings, it’s private. Bear in mind this — Vanderpump Guidelines is about actual folks, actual friendships and actual feelings spanning over 15 years. This isn’t simply leisure, it’s part of our lives you’ve come to understand.”
The 33-year-old additional slammed the “unkind” messages Scheana has acquired from followers for hanging out with Sandoval as a substitute of Ariana:
“We’re not simply right here for the picture ops. We’re right here residing our lives, sharing our journey. It’s excessive time we promote respect and empathy, not only for the ‘characters’ you see on display, however for the true folks behind them. Let’s make this group as actual because the friendships you tune in for. Let’s make it higher.”
Look…
The forged can’t assist if Sandoval attends sure occasion, particularly ones hosted by LVP. They’re not totally in management over these choices since they’re below contract to movie a actuality present. And regardless of how a lot they (or followers) dislike him for dishonest on Ariana with Raquel Leviss, the crew must work with him in some type of capability. So this hate aimed toward Scheana and the group for taking an image with him (of all issues) is taking issues method too far.
