Scheana Shay Claims Lisa Vanderpump Only Reaches Out ‘When She Needs Something’ After ‘VPR’ Shakeup

   

Scheana Shay Claims Lisa Vanderpump Only Reaches Out When She Needs Something After VPR Shakeup:

The Vanderpump Rules cast overhaul hasn’t just affected their friendships with each other — but with Lisa Vanderpump as well.

During the Tuesday, April 1, episode of the “Two T’s With a Pod” podcast, Scheana Shay was asked about her current relationship with Vanderpump, 64, to which she replied, “I don’t talk to her too often. She usually calls when she needs something.”

Shay, 39, noted that her last interaction with Vanderpump was business-related. “That was recent when I talked to her,” she added. “She had a question about a friend of mine on another show of hers, and that was pretty much it.”

Vanderpump also recently revealed where she stands with the cast. “I do love them all regardless of their antics and their foibles. There’s a deep love just because of what we’ve been through together and seeing them at such a young age, even though they’ve been very frustrating at times, for sure, and they’ve made mistakes,” Vanderpump said on the Tuesday episode of Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast. “But, it was predictable.”

The restaurateur recalled getting a call “straight away” from Tom Schwartz after it was confirmed that season 12 of the hit Bravo series won’t feature any of the OG cast members. “He said, ‘I just want to thank you for all the opportunities you’ve given me.’ And James [Kennedy], too,” she noted. “Lala [Kent], I’ve always been very close to her.”

Vanderpump went on to name who didn’t contact her, adding, “I think Ariana [Madix] texted me or tweeted me or something. Katie [Maloney], I didn’t hear from. But, as I say, that doesn’t really surprise me. It’s strange because I’m not saying they should be grateful to me — but they should be grateful for the show. We always celebrated them. But that show gave them a plethora of opportunities they wouldn’t necessarily have had.”

The Vanderpump Rules franchise began as a spinoff of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which Vanderpump starred on from 2010 to 2019. Vanderpump Rules became its own cultural phenomenon as Vanderpump expanded her TV universe with Vanderpump Villa, Vanderpump Dogs and Overserved With Lisa Vanderpump.

Season 11, which aired in 2024, left Bravo viewers divided on the future of the franchise. The network eventually confirmed in November that Vanderpump Rules will be returning — but with an entirely new cast.

Despite the Vanderpump Rules shakeup, the show’s spinoff The Valley is preparing to air a second season with the same cast. Shay, who will make appearances, was asked whether Vanderpump was involved with the project.

“She has her name on it. She’s technically an executive producer,” Shay added on Tuesday. She doesn’t know anything going on [on the show]. When she found out Kristen [Doute] was pregnant, she asked if we knew who the dad was, and we’re like, ‘You’re an executive producer on this show.’ She’s very much not involved, but she has her name on the show.”
