Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay says she is nothing like co-star Raquel Leviss. The latter is embroiled in a controversial affair with Tom Sandoval. This led to the breakup of Tom and Scheana’s best friend, Ariana Madix. It has gotten extremely messy and now, Scheana feels the need to defend herself but why? Read on for more details.

Scheana Shay Says She Is Nothing Like Raquel Leviss

Raquel Leviss is getting an incredible amount of heat for her affair with Tom Sandoval. The biggest issue is that he was in a nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix. Ariana actually considered Raquel a close friend so she felt incredibly betrayed by both her now ex-boyfriend and Leviss. Apparently, this affair has been going on for several months but was discovered on Wednesday, March 1st. While Ariana was at TomTom for a Vanderpump Rules viewing party, Scheana Shay and Raquel were in NYC for WWHL.

While they were chatting it up with Andy Cohen, Ariana, and fans were celebrating the release of Tom’s new single and his band’s debut performance on VR. Then, Ariana apparently saw the evidence of the affair on Tom’s phone and immediately called Raquel who was out partying with Scheana. That was when Raquel came clean about the affair to Scheana who supposedly got physical with her co-star and refused to be with her the rest of the trip.

However, according to Us Weekly, fans of the show are calling Scheana out for similar behavior. When VR first spun off from RHOBH, Shay was known as the other woman to former housewife Brandi Glanville. When Glanville was married to Eddie Cibrian, Scheana had an affair with him. “Wonder who had @brandiglanville’s [back]. So quick to team up but let’s not forget you walked in @raquelleviss shoes @scheana,” someone posted. She responded: “I don’t recall having an affair with my best friends bf KNOWINGLY but go off!”

A Tainted Past

When Scheana Shay first started at SUR, Vanderpump alum Stassi Schroeder consistently called Shay a homewrecker for her relationship with Eddie. Scheana could not even serve at certain times to avoid Brandi Glanville. Yet, Scheana maintains that she had no idea Eddie was married when they started their relationship. He then went on to have an affair with country singer, LeAnn Rimes whom he has been married to since 2011. “It was just a mess. I ended things [after I found out about LeAnn], I stopped talking to him, and I’ve never talked to him again,” Scheana recalled in 2013.

Do you think that it is fair to compare Scheana Shay and Raquel Leviss to one another? Are their situations different or somewhat the same? Let us know in the comments and watch Vanderpump Rules Wednesdays on Bravo.
