Scheana Shay refutes rumor she has ‘forgiven’ Tom Sandoval
There is tension between Tom Sandoval and Scheana Shay.
Scheana Shay, the star of “Vanderpump Rules,” denied rumors that she has forgiven Sandoval after he cheated on her best friend, Ariana Madix, with Raquel Leviss.
“Who said all is forgiven??” Shay tweeted Tuesday in response to a fan account that asked, “Is that Sandoval’s voice? All is forgiven, I guess #pumprules.”
She continued, “We are all here for Lisa Vanderpump,” acknowledging the cast’s ongoing trip to celebrate Vanderpump’s latest restaurant, Wolf, in Lake Tahoe, Calif.
To further prove that she hasn’t reconciled with Sandoval, Shay “liked” a tweet that read, “They have to film with him. They are going to Lisa’s new restaurant.”
All is not “Good as Gold” between Tom Sandoval and Scheana Shay.
The latter “Vanderpump Rules” star, 38, shut down speculation that she has made amends with Sandoval, 41, after he cheated on her best friend, Ariana Madix, with castmate Raquel Leviss.
“Who said all is forgiven??” Shay tweeted Tuesday in response to a fan account that asked, “Is that Sandoval’s voice? All is forgiven, I guess #pumprules.”
“We are all here for Lisa [Vanderpump],” the singer continued, acknowledging the cast’s ongoing trip to celebrate the SUR boss’ latest eatery, Wolf, in Lake Tahoe, Calif.
Further proving that she hasn’t reignited an alliance with Sandoval, Shay “liked” a tweet that read, “They have to film with him. They are going to Lisa’s new restaurant.”
An insider exclusively tells TheFantasyTimes that participating “Pump Rules” cast members — including Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, James Kennedy, Ally Lewber, Lala Kent, Shay and her husband, Brock Davies — made a truce to keep things copacetic while checking out Vanderpump’s new establishment hours away from Los Angeles.
“Just because the cast is in the same vicinity doesn’t mean that they are getting along,” the source points out. “They are there to support Lisa’s new restaurant and are honoring her request that temperatures be lowered at the moment.”

The source adds that Vanderpump has made “attempts” to “bring Sandoval back into the mix,” but claims her efforts have “proven unsuccessful due in large part to Tom’s continued lack of accountability for his behavior.”
The insider elaborates, “The cast wants nothing to do with him, but as Lisa continues to invite him to various filmed functions, they are learning to coexist with Tom, who is very much an outcast to the larger group. It’s going to be a long summer.”
Sandoval’s voice could slightly be heard in the background of a video shared via Shay’s Instagram Stories Tuesday, in which the group laughed while making their way to Wolf.
Many fans took to social media to express concern over the cast’s seemingly “friendly” interactions with Sandoval.
“this gonna piss me off if they’re all gonna be kumbaya after that whole reunion,” one person commented, while another wrote, “And if all is forgiven, I won’t be watching Vanderpump Rules.”
Another chimed in, “At least Katie & Ariana stayed away! Scheana is so fake,” referring to Katie Maloney and Madix, who remained in Los Angeles with Stassi Schroeder.
Since cameras began rolling for Season 11, Sandoval has been spotted crying alone outside SUR and getting into a heated exchange with Shay.
News broke in March that Madix, 38, had dumped Sandoval after nearly a decade together following her discovery of his months-long affair with 28-year-old Leviss.
The former pageant queen checked herself into a mental health facility the next month, after filming the extremely contentious three-part reunion.
Leviss — who has yet to film for Season 11 of the Emmy-nominated hit — was recently seen visiting family in Tucson, Ariz., amid the “VPR” Lake Tahoe getaway.
