Scheana Shay revealed why she can move forward with her husband Brock Davies but not Lala Kent. The Vanderpump Rules star also clapped back at Stassi Schroeder’s shade on House of Stassi, and she addressed claims that she should join The Valley.
Recently, Scheana revealed that Lala broke her trust and told Jenna Willis, Scheana’s enemy, about Brock’s cheating. Scheana suggested that Lala, who recently joined The Valley, has done this multiple times before.
On the August 14 episode of her Scheananigans podcast, Scheana was asked how she can forgive Brock for cheating but not Lala for revealing it.
“I can forgive, it doesn’t mean we have to stay friends. I understand why people are making that comparison, but to me, they are two completely different situations,” she said, via @vanderpodrecaps on Instagram. “For one, it took me years to forgive Brock. That wasn’t something that happened overnight. It was a lot of work. It was therapy for months. It was a lot of hard conversations, accountability, growth, and just rebuilding trust over time.”
“It’s something that we’re honestly still working on in our relationship, and I think we always will be working on,” she added. “With Lala, this wasn’t the first time that she had betrayed my trust, and even this time, her betraying my trust wasn’t actually what ended our friendship. I mean, it was hurtful, but it wasn’t the only reason I walked away.”
According to Scheana, what broke the friendship came after she found out that Lala told Jenna.
“When I asked [Lala] for some time to process this, I didn’t even get 24 hours before I received the longest gaslighting text of my life,” said Scheana. “The deflection, the lack of accountability, and a pattern of behavior that had been building for years. And one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that you can’t truly move forward from something until everyone involved is willing to acknowledge what happened, take accountability for their part, and show growth.”
“That’s how trust gets rebuilt. I’ve experienced that with Brock over time. I unfortunately never experienced that in my friendship with Lala,” she said. “And that really is the difference. … I needed to stop being in a friendship that was breaking my heart over and over again. So I chose to walk away.”
Later in the pod, Scheana was asked if she was surprised to hear her name mentioned so often on House of Stassi.
“Yeah, I’m surprised [Stassi] hasn’t started charging me rent for the space I seem to occupy in her mind,” Scheana answered. When asked if she would film for House of Stassi season two, Scheana laughed and answered, “That would depend on the check. I’ve seen three or four episodes. I didn’t finish it because I felt like everything was already posted on social media.”
At one point, Scheana shared that she’s seen the comments from fans wanting her to join The Valley.
“I’ve seen them,” she said. “I hear you. I’ve also seen plenty from the other side who don’t want me on the show. At the end of the day, you’re never going to make everyone happy, and that’s something I’ve really learned over the years. … So instead of trying to please everyone else, I’ve focused on making the decisions that are right for me and my family, and make me happy.”
Scheana also addressed the claim that she only watches her own scenes.
“I would like to correct this narrative that I only fast forward to watch my own scenes. I said I fast forward through my scenes, not to my scenes,” she explained. “Season six, I was not in a good place mentally. I had just started therapy, this is pre-pandemic. We’re in 2017, 2016. Going through a divorce, then going through a breakup. It was the beginning of 2018. Rob and I had broken up, and re-watching that relationship while trying to live my best life in Las Vegas.”
“I completely deleted Instagram from my phone. I was only on Snapchat because no one could respond to me on that,” she continued. “My sister was running my account. I’d post on Snapchat, save it. She would post it to Instagram, so I was still active. But once I moved to Vegas … [my therapist wasn’t] really doing Zoom back then, so I stopped therapy, and I wasn’t in a great place mentally.”
