Ex-friends Scheana Shay and Tom Sandoval were forced to share an intimate meditation session during the “Vanderpump Rules” cast trip to Lake Tahoe last week.
“I get paired with Sandoval to do this spiritual meditation healing sort of thing,” Shay — whose friendship with Sandoval has been strained ever since news broke of his affair with their cast mate Raquel Leviss — said with a sigh on her Amazon Live Monday.
“It was very uncomfortable.”
The reality star emphasized that the scene will make “good TV” – especially because she nor Sandoval were “expecting to be paired together,” but that changed when her husband, Brock Davies, went golfing instead.
“Wednesday filming was beyond the most emotionally draining day I have ever had in 11 seasons of ‘Vanderpump Rules,'” Shay, 38, continued. “My eyelashes hurt from how much I cried that day, my contacts were dry, I was congested, I felt weak in every way possible.”
The “Scheananigans” podcast host didn’t divulge exactly what went down, but she reminded fans that she and Sandoval, 41, had a decade-long friendship before he cheated on her best friend Ariana Madix.
“I don’t like what he did to Ariana obviously,” Shay continued. “Him and I have had a really long friendship so everyone always [says], ‘Oh Scheana the flip-flopper, Scheana needs to have loyalty,’ and losing a friendship of that long has obviously been a struggle.”
Shay noted that regardless of her feelings towards Sandoval, she remains “team Ariana.”
Shay and Sandoval joined some of their other cast members for a cast trip to Lake Tahoe, Calif., to celebrate Lisa Vanderpump’s new restaurant, Wolf, last week.
However, Madix, 38, stayed behind in Los Angeles for a few days before jetting off to Fiji to appear on “Love Island USA.”
Madix has been romantically linked to personal trainer, Daniel Wai, over the last few months, but she has yet to confirm their relationship status.
The Something about Her co-founder has been single since she dumped Sandoval after finding out that he was having a months-long affair with her close friend, Leviss.
While the rest of the cast has resumed filming for Season 11 of the hit Bravo show, we’re told Leviss has been playing “hardball” over contract negotiations and remained at her parents’ home in Tucson, Ariz.
