First comes home renovation then comes marriage. At least for Drew Scott! Property Brothers is getting another spinoff at HGTV, the network announced on Tuesday. Property Brothers at...There’s certainly some serious ch-ch-changes in the air on Vanderpump Rules – and Scheana Marie is not only done with Mike Shay, but with Stassi Schroeder as well! At least according to their latest twitter feud…
Last night Scheana announced the launch of her new digital talk show “Sheananigans,” and her first guests were Ariana Madix and Lala Kent. This obviously did not meet the approval of the Three-Headed Shebeast Regulations Committee. Because Lala = EVIL.
After being forced to confront her ex-husband Shay on Part 3 of the reunion, Scheana advertised the live airing of “Sheananigans” and urged viewers to tweet questions for her, Ariana and Lala. “Part 3 of the reunion was one of the hardest things I’ve ever filmed on #PumpRules,” she announced on Instagram, “but I am so thankful to have some really amazing friends by my side. Immediately following the show tonight at 9pm EST/6pm PST I will be doing my first live @scheananigans show here on Instagram to say all of the things I didn’t get to say Bc it was such an emotional day. (As today has been too) Stay tuned on my insta and I’ll be posting more over the next 2 hours!!”

If you missed the scintillating live broadcast, because oh, I dunno, you’d had enough of Scheana vapidly staring at herself in the mirror mouthing “I feel pretty…” she promises, “It was also professionally shot. Will be edited and posted on my website. Just wanted to air it live for those who could watch.” I checked and the only thing I see are links to buy her music (HA) and a zillion photos of Scheana. Cause – duh. But because this little show caused a LOT of residual drama between Scheana and her former friend Stassi, I guess we oughtta watch, right?
According to some viewers who caught “Sheananigans,” Scheana and her girls spent a good deal of time ripping into Stassi for being a bully. They were more than eager to let Stassi know via twitter, so despite the fact that the Three-Headed Shebeast is vacationing in Europe, Stassi couldn’t resist engaging in a twitter offense.
She’s also apparently the boss and executive producer of Vanderpump Rules – sorry Lisa Vanderpump, you’ve been replaced! Earlier this year Stassi decided Lala making friends sign NDAs was a violation of their Pump Rules contract, and last night she declared that “covering” for Scheana’s failing marriage put Stassi’s job on the line. [cough cough BULLSHIT cough, cough].
“I put my job in jeopardy to cover for u & protect u for a whole year, yet u use ur first IG live to shit on me. YOU are the bully. @scheana,” complained Stassi. Scheana denied this, “Nothing was in jeopardy… keeping a secret is called being a good friend. And it was still threatened to be exposed… , adding, “I’m a bully? #comical Some people have zero self awareness…”
RELATED – Stassi Blames Pump Rules For Making Her Look Like A Mean Girl!
Then of course everyone started arguing about whose basic, and a bully, and blah, blah, blah… cause I guess the job of professional reality stars is to always behave like reality stars. One’s work is never done!
Lala also responded to the nonsense, “Stassi. 1. It’s not always about you. 2. It’s 5am where you are…. you stayed up to watch? Go to bed, ya weirdo. #basic”
“When you don’t have any original thoughts & lack the ability to listen to anyone who isn’t complimenting your contouring. Basic,” replied Stassi.
Of course, backtracking, Stassi went on to deny that she saw Scheana’s show, cause she’s like soooooo busy, and stuff, and she only heard about it via twitter. Maybe she’s busy making statement necklaces again? “Jet lagged. I’ve been awoken at 4 am every day I’ve been here. Checked Twitter & saw this filth. Sorry I missed yalls super profesh IG show.”
Well it was “professionally shot,” so what does Stassi know. 
Responding to reports that she was “shredded,” and called a bully, Stassi whined, “They constantly paint ME as the bully. It’s not fair.” And since she’s super successful at life and all, “I’d be happy to give them tips on how to be interesting on their own. Call me! :)”
Kristen chimed in with,”Well.. I hope everyone enjoyed the final episode of #PumpRules Season 5! perfect timing for a dumb f–king twitter war.”
Ariana, Lala and Scheana weren’t immune to criticism – they were called out for “taking the low road” over their alleged “brutal” comments. “Low road? You have to be flipping kidding me,” scoffed Ariana. “So on the night of the reunion, we shouldn’t talk about the show and what’s been going on on it? I don’t see how that works”
Ariana denied that she was mean to Stassi, “Nobody has seen what a verbal shredding from me is like. I said she’s never asked to hang out. Wow. How mean of me.”
Ariana also denied saying anything mean about Shay, and wrote that his appearance on the reunion was frustrating because, “Everyone kept talking over him and finishing his sentences. It was really aggravating.”
Of course, since there are 32 sides to every reality TV drama, several others who’d watched “Scheananigans” claimed Ariana, Scheana, and Lala were mostly upset over Stassi’s comments that social media haters make her feel suicidal. You can read about that here.
Given how she treated Shay’s addiction, I don’t really think Scheana is qualified to lecture anyone on handling mental health issues, but again, I haven’t seen “Sheananigans,” and since Stassi hasn’t either, one might not expect her to pitch such a tantrum over hearsay but you know – this is Stassi we’re talking about.
Stassi also retweeted a link to an article about Ariana’s brother Jeremy being arrested for domestic violence, and she tweeted, “When the only one defending their side is an abusive woman beater.” Jeremy had commented that Stassi can dish it out, but not take it.
RELATED – Lala’s Earlier Twitter Feud With Kristen, Katie, & Stassi!
Naturally Kristen also robustly defended Stassi. Cause three heads think better as one! “I don’t want to hear one of them talking about suicide or self harm and their bullshit awareness about it. Now I’m getting mad,” she tweeted.
Switching gears, Lala thanked Ariana, Tom and even her non-friend James for supporting her throughout the season and the reunion, “thx 2 @ariana2525 @TomSandoval1 @itsjameskennedy & @scheana.U always put me in check, yet defended me. I admire u. cheers 2 u & ur success.”
This is quite an interesting divide for Pump Rules, and, I believe, a pretty solid indicator that the show is restructuring and moving away from Stassi and Kristen. Because every time a special snowflake melts under Lisa’s spotlight, a thirsty little raindrop falls into a martini glass! #PoeticJusticeByBravo

Talk about one hell of a surprise! The cast of Imposters reunited in Los Angeles on Monday night to look back on the just finished first season of their Bravo series at a For Your...
Even though Kim Richards isn’t even a cast member on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the whole entire season has been about her- again. What is it with so many of these women using Kim for a story line? It’s really just bad casting if these people have nothing to discuss other than whether or not Kim is sober.
And Kim is so done with it. She appears on the reunion to put Lisa Rinna in her place. That’s not all though: Kim has even more to say about Rinna exploiting her to get more camera time- again.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
I can understand why Rinna would question Kim while she was a cast member on the show. To put it mildly, Kim’s past behavior was erratic. Nevertheless, coming for Kim when she wasn’t even holding up diamonds in the opening credits is pretty desperate.
In an interview with RadarOnline, Kim continued to slam Rinna. She even pointed to her head and claimed, “I just don’t think she’s right here.” Kim declared, “I think that she basically used me as a storyline and it’s over. She can’t do that anymore, I put an end to it, I put a stop to it.”
Kim brought new housewife Dorit Kemsley into the conversation. Kim declared, “There is no more using a storyline about me. Find a new one. Since she realized she can’t do that she’s moved on to Dorit and that made me mad, she’s a young mother with two kids.” Although it was super suspicious when Dorit and a dozen people got up from the dinner table at her own home. Rinna definitely brought that up at the wrong time, but I definitely thought it was pretty questionable when I watched the episode.
Kim brought up that infamous fight in Amsterdam where Rinna slammed a full glass on the table: “The very thing she didn’t like when I said let’s talk about your husband then she’s going after Dorit ‘do you trust your husband?’ and then she going after Dorit about drugs.”
Considering that Rinna couldn’t keep Kim’s name out of her mouth, I don’t blame Kim for showing up to the reunion. Kim explained, “When I got in there and I sat down the first thing I felt was it’s my turn to defend myself, it’s my opportunity since you talked about me all season, it’s my opportunity to speak up and address everybody and I did.”
Tonight is part 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. Eden Sassoon and Kim Richards get their turn on the couch. And it doesn’t go all that well. Surprise, surprise. “Drama continues to run high as Erika, Eileen and Lisa Rinna stand their ground against PK’s attempts to explain himself. The women share insights into their various careers and laugh at the over-the-top ways they greet each other. However, things take a turn when Eden and Kim Richards join the ladies. Simmering issues quickly come to a head and it all becomes too unbearable for one of the ladies.”
Meet us here at 9/8 CST in the comments!

Evelyn Lozada is back in the Basketball Wives game. After taking a couple of seasons off to focus on family and other opportunities including her OWN docu-series Livin' Lozada, the...Other than the paycheck and relative fame, I have no idea why Briana Renee keeps coming back to Little Women: LA. Every year her marriage to Matt Ericson takes a major hit with new adulterous, shady accusations. Briana evokes sympathy, acts like everything is fine, and then gets offended when the other cast members express concern.
It’s a cycle that never ends. I have to admit that I was initially intrigued by this drama, but I’m so over it now. Aside from this repetitive nature of this story line, it just never seems like Briana or Matt are being truthful…about anything. It’s so frustrating to watch, so I can’t imagine what it’s actually like to costar on this show with her be friends with her. Briana “opened up” about the state of their marriage and some legal issues.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
As per usual, I can’t help taking everything Briana says with a grain of salt. Recently she did an interview for the Domenick Nati Show and addressed the lawsuit against her and her rocky marriage. It’s so hard to believe anything she says and I have no idea whether I should have sympathy for her or if I should be annoyed that she is (probably) lying. Once again, I wonder how the cast puts up with this.
Briana was asked about the lawsuit against her for an outstanding payment of $20,000 and to be honest her explanation didn’t really make sense. Briana said, “The fact that it hasn’t been made public means you’re gonna have to wonder where the source came from.” But it is public. It’s always been public. She was handed papers on the show.
Of course, Briana also gave the textbook explanation: “Unfortunately, there is some legal situation going on. Of course, tabloids are always embellished.”
She recalled, “All I can say is that I was served a couple of seasons ago on the show by my former publicist. There’s a legal situation, but it’s not to the extent that was portrayed. I can give further details as soon as it’s all fixed and cleared.” She even admitted that this was all super public, so I have no idea what she’s even talking about, yet she continued to emphasize, “When it’s not already been made public because it’s not at that point, you kind of wonder where the source came from.” What source? We saw this happen in an episode. Clear as day.
The host started to say, “the accusations of you guys having a rocky marriage-” and Briana cut him off confirming, “Oh we do. That we do. That’s on the show.” At least she is admitting (the very obvious) truth.
Briana waxed poetic: “Unfortunately we have had major lows and we’ve had to build back up again and it takes time. It takes longer than the few months that you’ve seen us. Our whole relationship has only been two and a half years. Sometimes people take up to ten years to really get to that place where they want to be.” So it’s alright for someone to get cheated on and humiliated in a very public forum as long as it’s within a decade? Make sense.
Briana said, “Marriage isn’t perfect. I’m not going to sugarcoat anything, we have had a rocky marriage, but it’s not like I don’t hold my own because I sure as hell do.” Sure.
Briana was asked if she and Matt were “on the verge of divorce” and she really had nothing to say other than plugging the show. Briana teased, “That part you’ll have to watch play out on the show because there’s a lot more to that than just a yes or no answer. There’s a lot going on. I’m not saying everything’s perfect right now even.” Has it ever been perfect? That’s the one thing no one would ever assume about this relationship.
Briana added, “There’s a lot of variables in this problem and you’ll see that all play out on the show.” Ah, romance at its finest.
Briana was asked if she was over the cheating and she admitted, “That’s a work in progress.” She continued, “It’s just like anyone else out there, it takes time and that definitely pays an emotional toll on me. It’s all a compilation of a lot of things.” Sounds like a fairy tale love story to me.
Tonight is an all new episode of Little Women: LA. Briana gets upset with Jasmine for being “up Terra’s ass” lately and ignoring their friendship. Terra and Briana are still feuding after Terra belittles Brianna in front of the rest of the crew. Tune in 8/7 CST for the cat-fights and chaos.

Dorinda Medley was all but absent on last week’s Real Housewives Of New York – and that had a lot to do with Sonja Morgan. Dorinda says she thinks that in addition to Sonja trash-talking her around town, the former Toaster Oven Entrepreneur (sorry – had to!) is actively trying to keep newbie Tinsley Mortimer away from her. Thus, Sonja did not invite Dorinda to the Mad Hatter’s tea party she threw in Tinsley’s honor, causing some to lament: What were they doing there without Dorinda?!
“So we finally get to meet the new girl—oh wait, I don’t. But before I get there, let me talk about a few other things,” snarks Dorinda in her blog. “Hannah has decided to move out. It took a long time for Hannah and I to heal after Richard’s death. She decided to move back in with me, and I decided to mother her as much as I could during the aftermath of his death. It was the best decision for both of us, but now after five years she has decided it’s time to move out and get her own apartment. I am happy to say it’s in NYC and not too far away.”
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
Defending their decision as parents to buy Hannah both an apartment and high end furniture, Dorinda continues, “People in the suburbs buy kids cars—in the city we set them up in apartments. This includes furniture. So Hannah and I did what do have been doing for years in NYC—we went shopping. Jonathan Adler is one of my favorite places. It’s bright, happy, comical, a great place to get ideas and it’s in the neighborhood. She found a couch, and I was more than happy to buy it for her. I want her to have a cozy home, and her father and I are happy to help her reach that goal.” Aww. She’s making it nice, people!
Moving on to the real dirt, Dorinda insinuates that Sonja is, well…kind of insane. “Now onto to the tea party in the Mad Hatter’s townhouse. Oops did I get that wrong? Oh well, I think it’s accurate. No, I was not invited, and even if I were, I would not have gone. But unlike Sonja, I will not be spending a year or even a second thinking or mourning about it.”
RELATED: Tinsley Mortimer Thinks Sonja Morgan Is ‘The Most Generous Friend’
Dorinda continues to question Sonja’s intentions – and the alliances she’s trying to build with Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer. “There is definite tension between Sonja and I, and she is looking to get Ramona and Luann to side with her, but I am not sure it’s working. I think one of the real reasons she does not want me there is because Sonja does not want me to meet Tinsley and potentially have us become friends.”
“She clearly already feels competitive about my friendship with Ramona, which brings me to Tinsley. This is is not an easy group of women to meet. Each of us has very unique personalities and are quite strong women. We do not let everyone into the fold like a Junior League social. The added elephant in the room? Tinsley is returning from Palm Beach back to New York City with a mugshot. So I am not sure how smoothly the first cup of tea went, how about you?”
But Sonja can’t keep Tinsley locked up in that spare bedroom forever, can she? Unless that butler has been roped into hostage-assisting now too.
Dorinda closes her blog with some parting comments for Ramona’s hickey, gossip about Luann’s marriage, and Carole Radziwill’s political speechifying – three things Dorinda says she clearly didn’t miss out on by not attending the party. “Much talk of me, politics, Tom [D’Agostino] (what’s new) and Ramona’s hickey (what are you 17?). Overall, it does not seem I missed much, and I have better things to do, like help Hannah start her new life and decorate her apartment. Although I do look forward to meeting this Tinsley character!”

New girl Tinsley Mortimer didn’t even appear until the second episode, so I just felt like episode one was just a recap of where we left off since the reunion aired. Now it feels like the season is finally under way.
Even though we only got a little glimpse at Tinsley, I like her so far and I’m just waiting for that hair tutorial to go up on her Instagram story. I am a little thrown off by her living with Sonja Morgan, but I would probably do that too if Sonja invited me. At this point, that townhouse is nothing short of notorious. Tinsley opened up about her debut and her first impressions of the cast members.

Tinsley responded to the episode in her first ever Bravo blog entry. Unfortunately it wasn’t super juicy, but then again neither was that second episode. I kind of figured she was going to take a jab at Bethenny Frankel after she didn’t receive the warmest welcome from her, but she didn’t. She was pretty positive, which is probably the best move since the viewers are still getting to know her.
She wrote, “As most of you can tell, my life has taken a huge turn! Imagine one year ago being arrested and horribly embarrassed. Then fast forward one year, and I am officially a Real Housewife of New York City!”
Tinsley said, “Sonja Morgan is, without a doubt, the most generous friend a girl could ever have. When she invited me to come back up to New York and get out of Palm Beach, I was on the next plane.” I definitely get that vibe as well. It’s very easy for people to make jokes about Sonja, but she really does seem like the kind of person that would give a friend anything she owns… Well except for Dorinda Medley since she is still bitter about not getting an invite to that Berkshires Christmas party last season.
Tinsley continued, “Sonja has been great trying to get me readjusted back in New York, and this includes dating again. She created THE LIST of dos and don’ts for finding the proper person. Clearly I can use the help! Although I can’t say I always follow its rules, I know Sonja’s intentions were good creating it.” I feel like Sonja’s heart was in the right place, but that list scene was… interesting.
The socialite recalled, “It was so nice to meet Sonja’s friends at the Mad Hatter party she threw for my return to the Big Apple. I knew they had probably read or heard about my arrest, so I was apprehensive about meeting them. Everyone, though, was truly very nice and seemed supportive of what I was going through.”
Tinsley recalled, “Sonja did not invite Dorinda, because apparently there’s still some tension there from last year, but I’m sure I will meet her soon…” Well, yeah. That should be interesting especially since I doubt Dorinda wants to meet anyone who is introduced to the group as “a friend of Sonja’s” let alone her roommate.

Well that’s it – another season of Vanderpump Rules done and done! But the third part of the reunion ended with quite a bang when Scheana Marie‘s estranged husband Mike Shay appeared to say everything and nothing at all.
Good lord – the girls on this show are ridiculous! Like Katie Maloney, nothing is ever Scheana’s fault as she just demands, cries, and throws tantrums then blames everyone else. Tom 2 – consider Shay your warning; Robert Valleta – consider Tom 2 your warning.
Before we witness Scheana Marie collapse into a cloud of pressed powder, we have much ground to cover. While Andy wasted time last week trying to make Stassi Schroeder‘s brother ‘happen,’ the reunion could have focused on all the drama between James Kennedy and Kristen Doute, or that time Tom 2 almost canceled his wedding while pooping in a wedding gown, as Tom 1 was crying in a Sia costume. Aaaaahhh… good times in New Orleans!
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
All the talk about New Orleans and ‘Vegas Girl’ presented the first crack in Tom 2‘s ‘happily married man’ veneer as he and Katie settled into their old bickering. Just so you all know – everything wrong that happens in Katie’s life is either Tom’s fault, or Tom’s friends’ faults. Yes, still.
In the dysfunctional world of Katie Maloney she was no tyrant or bridezilla, but a peace-keeping missionary attempting to build unity and harmony amongst Tom 2‘s drama-causing friends. Katie’s friends are perfect – they do everything she says and think she is a wedding super goddess!
RELATED – Katie Blames Bravo & Everyone Else For Making Her Look Bad!
Thankfully we have all the feelings of Tom 1 to speak for the rest of us when he emphatically stands by his Tom 2 and refuses to bend to Tequila Katie‘s fits. Katie huffily blaming Tom 1 and Ariana Madix for her problems was justified since they were suggesting Katie and Tom 2 get therapy. “The only person at this reunion I would take relationship advice from is Lisa,” she snaps. Katie may want to reconsider that – after all Tom 1 escaped the Kult Of Kritter-Kraziness, and Jax Taylor also managed to extract himself from the suffocating tentacles of Stassi’s hubris to find the mild-mannered, Jesus-loving, spinoff worthy Brittany Cartwright. Not that LVP is any slouch in the relationship department.
Tom 2 describes New Orleans as a perpetual “brown out” – he wasn’t so drunk he blacked out, but he took out all his problems on Coors Light for days.
Katie is bitter because Jax and Tom 1 had the audacity to try and destroy her fantasy wedding to save Tom 2‘s emotional state when they suggested he call it off. Do they make ‘Wedding’s Canceled’ tea towels? What about Katie!?!
Even though Katie hates Tom 1 and Jax (and Ariana) they’re still supposed to be her friends too! How dare they side with Tom 2! HE made her feel insecure and undervalued, so she HAD to lash out constantly. Katie is tired of the “poor Schwartz pity party” because she’s a victim too! Katie needs to spend a long weekend in a sanitarium watching “Men Don’t Tell” – of course this Lifetime gem starring super villain Judith Light was created before reality TV, but the message is still prescient.
Tom 1 sighs a long sigh and dabs his eyes with the corner of an embroidered handkerchief, before informing Katie that her friends “lick her asshole” like there’s a fine steak up there, and live in a fantasy world where she is She-Rah Princess of Power. The Koddling Of Katie, according to Tom 1’s feelings dictionary, is the reason she has literally destroyed Tom 2. Meanwhile Tom and Jax were acting like real friends.
Tom 2 is predictably more didactic – but finally he confronts Kristen about having the “poorest taste possible” to bring up Vegas girl during his bachelor party. Kristen insists she heard that Tom slept with her from Jax. Because anything coming from the mouths of Jax and Kristen must absolutely be the truth!
Kristen also argues that she was trying to help Katie and Tom. OK, this party-line from the Three-Headed Shebeast that they’re just trying to help and make everything all happy is BS! According to Kristen her meddling finally got Katie and Tom saved. I guess… after all, she is the messiah in the Kult of Dysfunction. On that note, later Jax mentions Jesus which emits applause and chirp from Brittany, so that just shows you how f–ked up everything has gotten over in Pump Rules land. Like James is highly tolerable and amusing (he even laughs that Ariana’s drag persona was based on ‘Drunk James Kennedy’) and Jax has found Jesus in Kentucky. Stranger things, y’all, stranger things!
But Kristen only “Dr Phil’d” Tom for attention, because she always wants to make everyone else look as bad as she does, to vindicate and gloss over her behavior. Luckily we have Tom 1′s #NeverForget feelings to continually remind us the levels of Kray Kristen operates in. Like in New Orleans sending Karter (name spelling intentional) to be her second in Komand as Kristen Jr. Oh Karter – Kristen is presently trying to trick him into proposing. Which UGH – if I have to suffer through a Kritter Wedding, I might need to eat all of Stassi and Katie’s edibles and hope for actual hallucination. The look on LVP’s face, however, said there is no fear of that nonsense overtaking Pump Rules like the plague – Kritter has already done enough!
And according to Katie, Kristen has done everything right – no one understands the “GRAVITY OF DEVASTATION” Katie was left with upon learning that Tom 2 cheated! Yet, she still begged him to propose? Cause for a ring Katie was more than willing to shove all her insecurities about LA guys and how horrible she’s been treated (didn’t she used to date Karter?), down everyone else’s throat and move on down the aisle. Yet every time Tom 2 tries to assert himself, gain a spine, or inflate a blow-up doll, ‘Devastation Katie’ rears her ugly head with meltdowns about Vegas Girl. And this is the “gravity of devastation” Tom 2 has signed his life away to. He oughtta have a tet-a-tet with Shay backstage. Freedom, dude, it’s at your fingertips and called “Tom-Tom.”
Tom 2 does mumble an admission that he “f–ked up multiple times,” but he didn’t f–k Vegas Girl – no matter what Kristen insists. Why is Kristen the self-appointed Gestapo of cheating; busting everyone for their impure thoughts about another or for instagram following women, or whatever it is? Even showing up at James‘ gig to harass him and witness GG confronting him over cheating on Raquel. Shouldn’t Kristen be wasting time on her t-shirt collection instead?
Lisa is disgusted. She had no idea things were so dreadfully bad between Tom and Katie in New Orleans, and had she known wouldn’t have officiated their wedding. Talk about DEVASTATION, because Tom and Katie actually seemed more excited about LVP doing the vows than the did about marrying each other.
Despite all the drama, Tom 2 is as happy as his vows made it seem he is – his only complaints about draining his savings to throw flowers on the ground in the woods was the bad DJ. Well, if Katie had better manners (and friends) they could’ve had the world’s greatest DJ spinning the records that send golden notes of superiority and diamond dispersions out into the night sky! That would be James I speak of…
And speaking of why did they get married, Shay – COME ON DOWN!
Scheana and Shay have not spoken in four months. Scheana complains that she’s “too sober for this” which ironically is probably how Shay realized how self-absorbed and obnoxious Scheana is!
Scheana totally deserves Katie, Stassi, and Kristen – in fact they might as well become the Four-Headed Shebeast after what we learned from Shay.
Is there literally nothing Scheana won’t do for fame, attention, or popularity? Ala throwing Shay’s addiction issues onto reality TV when he didn’t want to by secretly discussing it first with Lisa, then not telling him! Scheana’s “calculated” using of him was the beginning of the end for Shay. In the few complete sentences he spoke, he confesses that not even his parents knew he had a problem, but now everywhere he goes people ask him about it.
But worse – but worse! After Scheana used Shay’s sobriety for a storyline, she refused to give up “The Lifestyle” of partying and drinking, then resented him for detaching from her friends and fun. Scheana wines that Shay told her he didn’t mind, he argues that she just never listened to his concerns. Instead, I imagine, she stared at her own reflection in the mirror and waited until he finished talking to discuss where to display another self-portrait.
At the reunion Scheana literally spent the entire Shay segment staring at her compact, while fixing her hair and makeup. Like a teenager. Andy and Lisa had to tell her to stop, pay attention, and put the distractions away. Yes, this is Reality Relationships 101 – and participation is mandatory!
Scheana still accuses Shay of lying about his sobriety, and that when she found out he was buying pills from a friend, the marriage was officially done. OR maybe it was his sexting another girl? Or making thousands in withdraws from HER bank account, while she tirelessly supported him, then abandoning him for the studio. Shay has been Scheana’s storyline for 3 seasons now, so I think technically it’s his money too. It was THEIR wedding, HIS sobriety, and now the divorce, so… While he was hiding in the studio, Shay insists he’s built a legit record label business and his band is about to go on tour with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
I guess Shay was also partaking in an emotional affair. Scheana caught him sexting with another girl. Why didn’t Kristen stalk her and fly her out to LA so Scheana could confront this THOT?! Kristen was so preoccupied with Tom 2′s pretend cheating, she missed the actual cheating happening right under her iPhone screen! Shame, shame!
Apparently everyone knew about Shay texting another girl, but Scheana was too prideful to admit it on camera because she she didn’t want people to claim it was her karma for cheating with Brandi Glanville‘s husband – instead, on-camrea, she lied and blamed Shay’s addiction for ruining her trust.
Poor Scheana – it’s not her fault Shay is labeled as an addict – he hurt her and therefore deserves to have his life ruined too. Like people call her a “homewrecking whore” and she’s forced to deal with it. Except Scheana sold her own “homewrecking whore” soul out for fame, so not exactly the same thing as selling out someone else, and then not even telling them in advance!
Despite all their problems (and Lisa claiming Scheana “worshipped” Shay), he was still willing to try and talk things through. The last time they filmed, Scheana promised they would be attempting a reconciliation, instead he was blindsided when she told him it was over and had already initiated divorce proceedings! WOW!
Shay is shocked that Scheana is dating already – and Robert is actually his friend. He’s currently single given that technically he’s still married. Marriage is clearly a technicality that has never concerned Scheana, though, and if SCHEANA is happy – that is all that matters, right! That is some Stassi/Katie logic right there.
Speaking of, Katie and Stassi knew Shay and Scheana were literally falling apart, yet they still spent the entire season being mean to her anyway, and yelling at her for being a bad, two-faced, boring friend or not being the best bridesmaid ever to Katie? They essentially “Shay’d” her! Like if Scheana doesn’t want to do what they want, exactly when they say, she’s divorced on camera without warning. They’re actually way worse friends than I thought!

Sadly, the guys and Ariana seem to miss Shay. And there is a sweetness and innocence to him that is endearing. Shay says he will always love Scheana, but they’re both happier now – even Jax recognized they are better off apart. They hugged goodbye and that’s it until the divorce is finalized in a few months.
Meanwhile, we await on bated breath the unveiling of Tom-Tom!

The post Vanderpump Rules Reunion Part 3 Recap: Shamed And Shay’d appeared first on Reality Tea.
After roaming around the peninsula on the previous episode of Southern Charm, the crew was up to new antic’s on last night’s installment, and it included a cameo by Billy Ray Cyrus. Could this show GET any better (typed in my best Chandler Bing font). After the requisite morning montage, Thomas Ravenel dons his Joker glasses to get down to business as Cameran Eubanks and her pal Chelsea Meissner are working out with a trainer after a boozy night. Cameran needs to counteract her gas station diet, and Chelsea dishes on her slumber party with Shepard “Shep” Rose. Spoiler alert, there was no nudity. Cameran is excited her pal may be on the Soulmate Express with the fratastic bachelor, and she encourages Chelsea to keep playing hard to get (ie, no pants dropping) to pique Shep’s interest. He’s used to girls to giving up the goods and is need of a challenge.
Craig Conover meets Landon Clements at Tavern and Table to sympathize over adulting difficulties when there are happy hours to be had. The two giggle over the pronunciation of charcuterie, making a profession out of philanthropy, and hobnobbing with the richest of the rich. Craig is working on an event for his girlfriend Naomie Olindo’s friend’s charity. It’s focus is disaster relief for orphans in Haiti, and Craig has been tasked with ordering the step and release, um, repeat. Landon and Craig bond over how hard they work and how sucky it is when their friends claim they aren’t working hard enough. Please! These tapas aren’t going to eat themselves. Someone has to do it! You can’t spell fundraiser without FUN after all.

Shep is heading to Rhode Island for a friend’s wedding, complete with a new dop kit from his mother. Naomie stops by to get Shep’s fundraiser donation since he won’t be able to attend. Over a glass of wine, Naomie diplomatically shades Shep for his recent interaction with Craig. She explains that Craig may not know much about the organization, but she’s hoping he will be semi-helpful in planning the charity auction. Shep and Landon share their side of the mini-altercation about Landon’s lack of business acumen with Naomie and Craig respectively. Craig can relate…Shep hates to see his friends succeeding. He is only happy when Craig is floundering. Naomie counters Shep’s digs about her boyfriend, and he takes her words to heart while reminding her that he needs to speak the truth. If you’re friends aren’t hard on you, who will be?
At her Wentworth manor, Whitney Sudler-Smith visits his mother Patricia Altschul. She is tasked with packing her Louis Vuitton luggage all by her lonesome for a getaway while her butler Michael is on vacation. Bravo, step up your Pat game. This minute exchange wasn’t enough, and it included Whitney, so it was basically a wash.
Meanwhile, Kathryn Dennis meets with a modeling scout who pretends not to know the reason a make-up-less Kathryn is out of the game. When asked for recent photos, Kathryn takes out her laptop and admits she needs to update her portfolio. The scout gives an awkward nod and grimace while explaining to Kathryn the importance of maintaining current photographs. After more painful fake nodding and sympathetic head tilts, the agent suggests Kathryn look into doing a family photo shoot. Kathryn insists she’ll pursue the idea…as soon as she’s allowed to see her two kids again.
Good gravy. Thomas is channeling camo chic while saluting himself in the mirror. He’s invited Landon over for a cocktail while lamenting that he should have gone for a more mature lady…like one in her early thirties. When she asks about the whereabouts of his children, he casually replies, “The guest house Montessori,” before offering Landon a bourbon and Coke. Coca-cola, people. Get your minds out of the back alleys. He’s a changed man! Landon declines the sugary beverage, mumbling about post-thirty metabolisms. Preach, girl. I feel ya! After ignoring T-Rav’s offer of a cocktail napkin, Landon recalls the last time she was in Thomas’ home…the night of that fateful dinner party. She believes the drama from last season has deprived her of a friendship with Thomas because people love idle gossip. He invites her to help him with an expedition polo match, and she’s thrilled they can finally connect again. Rumor mill be damned! Thomas tells Landon that he hasn’t had any contact with Kathryn, but her reveals she’s passed her drug test and is now able to have supervised visitation every other weekend. As T-Rav flirt, Landon giggles nervously.
On the day before the charity event, Naomie is frustrated with Craig for waiting until the last minute to order the step-and-repeat. He tries his best to smooth things over by imploring her not to stress. Naomie recalls her conversation with Shep regarding his negative comments about Craig, and she touts it as an actual mature way for adults to converse. Craig is floored. Naomie agrees with Shep? Where is the loyalty? Craig compares Shep to an abusive spouse, and Naomie is confused by the comparison. She is simply saying that perhaps there is some truth to Shep’s accusations that Craig being slack. She ends the debate by saying Craig needs to agree to disagree.
That evening, Thomas meets up with Shep, Austen Kroll and Mr. Mullet at Rarebit. It’s Achy Breaky Charm, y’all! Thomas is hitting on his neighbor Laura, and after she flits away, Shep admits to hooking up with her in the past. Friends share. T-Rav invites Austen to his polo match before accusing Shep of being in love with Landon. Not so! Shep is all about his revolving bedroom door. Once he even introduced himself to a cute girl a mere day after sleeping with her. Oops! Austen wants to fit the mold as Shep 2.0, but he kind of has a conscience. Is that bad? The boys head to Stars where Shep bankrolls a girl’s 21st birthday party before focusing on a girl who teases that she’s using him for sex. Before he can seal the deal, the chick’s friends pulls her away, citing real men at the bar. Shep exits with his tail between his legs to catch his flight to Rhode Island, while the same girl finds herself at the bar with Thomas (speaking of tails between legs). As only a best friend can, the girl’s baby-sitter once again swoops in to save her from certain embarrassment on national television while Austen and Whitney commentate like ESPN reporters on their friends’ game.
A couple hours before the fundraiser, Naomie is putting the final touches on the silent auction as Craig swoops in with the coveted step-and-release-repeat. She is impressed that he pulled through in the eleventh hour until she learns he hasn’t printed out a single description for the auction items. In his defense, his printer isn’t working.
Across town, Cameran drops by Ms. Pat’s to scoop Whitney on the way to Republic for the fundraiser. With Pat and Michael on vacay (separately), Cameran likens Whitney to Kevin in Home Alone. Thomas calls to tell his friends that he won’t be attending the event because he’s heard Kathryn will be there. He doesn’t want to engage, plus, his neighbor may need some tending.
At Republic, the more Craig brags about getting things accomplished under the wire, the more Naomie seethes, proving yet again she’s the unsung heroine of the show. He passive aggressively reminds her that he’s got this, but he’s really only got this because Naomie is coming behind him fixing his mistakes. Whitney condescendingly congratulates Craig on his foray into philanthropic endeavors, and Craig retorts he’s channeling his inner Patricia. Whitney scoffs – the only similarity between Craig and his mother is that they breathe air. Naomie gripes to her parents in French about Craig’s slack-assed behavior, and I so wish I spoke another language for situations like this!
Chelsea and Austen arrive, and she teases Shep 2.0 for being sweaty. Whitney lets it slip to Cameran that Shep boasted to him about shagging Chelsea. This revelation is very different from Chelsea’s intel, and Cameran is peeved that Shep would spread rumors about her friend. She hopes that Whitney is just trying to shock her–surely Shep wouldn’t lie. Over a forced phone call, Shep denies Whitney’s claim, and Chelsea reminds Cameran that she’s an open book. If she’d schlepped Shep, Cameran would be the first to know. Plus, ew. Regardless, Chelsea seems to only have eyes for Shep 2.0. And he only has eyes for hazel-eyed, sandy blonde, 5’8 ladies. Two out of three ain’t bad! Austen invites Chelsea on a proper date, complete with a meal. Bonus points…he’ll even drive her. That’s worth its weight in Uber ratings!
