Scheana Shay accused Lisa Vanderpump of trying to get Lala Kent to “hook up” with Tom Sandoval in season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. Scheana hinted at Lala and Lisa’s alleged phone call, and she shared how Lala responded.
Recently, Vanderpump’s ex-co-star Lisa Rinna wrote a memoir suggesting that LVP was the driving force behind a false accusation that Yolanda Hadid was faking or exaggerating her chronic Lyme disease. (The faking or exaggeration of an illness has been called “Munchausen syndrome.”) This accusation against Yolanda became a central storyline on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In the past, Vanderpump has also been accused of manipulating drama on Pump Rules.
“Lisa Rinna’s [book], I just started [it],” said Scheana on her Scheananigans podcast, via @breakingtherulespodclips on Instagram. “So I’m not that far into it yet, but I’ve seen a bunch of excerpts and stuff. She said that her only regret from Real Housewives was the Munchausen storyline with Yolanda. But it was interesting that while she fully owns it … she does reveal who was the driving force of that storyline.”
Scheana was asked who it was.
“Who do you think?” said Scheana. “Someone else with the same name. … [Lisa Vanderpump.] The same person who allegedly pushed the Dorit dog storyline. The same person who tricked me into working a party at SUR one time.”
“The same person who tried to get Lala and Sandoval to hook up season 11,” she said. “Is that not public knowledge? … Yeah, for our Tahoe trip. [LVP] called Lala and suggested that. And Lala was like, ‘I would sleep with Ken before I would sleep with Tom.'”
In an excerpt of Rinna’s book, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, the star addressed her time on RHOBH.
“By the time I joined the show in season 5, [LVP] was already a producer on Vanderpump Rules so she knew the game better than anybody. I looked up to her, and I let her lead the way,” she said, via In Style. “Vanderpump’s an expert at manipulation—it’s why she makes such a good producer on her own show—she knows how to use other people like chess pieces. She spends every waking hour figuring out her next move.”
