Scheana Shay is firing back at Raquel Leviss‘ claims of an alleged assault.
In a statement from her attorney Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, to Reality Blurb, the Vanderpump Rules cast member slammed her former friend, who she’s accused of attacking after learning of her alleged affair with their mutual friend Ariana Madix‘s boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, as a “liar and a cheat.”
“This case is a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her,” the statement read. “Scheana never punched Rachel, period. The supposed dark markings around her left eye have been there for months.”
As photos continue to circulate on social media, seemingly showing that Raquel had a black eye back in November of last year, the Pump Rules cast has distanced themselves from her.
“Neither Scheana nor other cast members want anything to do with Rachel going forward,” the statement continued. “The judge has only heard a one-sided account of what happened, and we look forward to presenting the full and true story at the March 29 hearing.”
Although both Sandoval and Raquel offered public apologies to Ariana earlier this week, that isn’t to say they are regretful about their feelings for each other. In fact, after spending time with Sandoval at her apartment last weekend, Raquel shared a message on her Instagram page, telling her followers that her feelings for Sandoval are “sincere.”
While Scheana and her castmates film scenes for their extended 10th season, attempting to capture the fallout of the scandal now known as “Scandoval,” Scheana is expressing her disgust with Raquel’s behavior, taking to her Twitter page to “like” shady messages about her.
“For being such a shocking injury, that cut sure healed fast. I have had hangnails longer,” read one message, which signaled to Raquel’s first post-scandal appearance, during which she was allegedly seen without the eyebrow cut she claimed Scheana gave her.
Another message included a clip from Pump Rules in which Charli Burnett suggested Raquel, who made out with a then-married Oliver Saunders on the latest episode, was a “home-wrecker.”
“[Charli Burnett] said it first … She just ended up wrecking a different home or two… Watching the ‘Never Before Scene’ getting ready for tonight’s episode,” the post read.
“Dare I call you a home-wrecker?” Charli asked Raquel in the clip.
“How am I am home-wrecker? There is no home to wreck,” Raquel replied.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
