BREAKING: Lisa Vanderpump has swiftly dismissed Scheana Shay’s explosive allegations of exploitation for fame and profit, calling her claims “bulls–t” during a brief encounter with a TMZ reporter in Los Angeles earlier today. Vanderpump, 64, expressed her indifference to Shay’s accusations, stating, “Guess what? I don’t care what she says, how about that?”
In a poignant moment, Vanderpump shifted the focus to the passing of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, remarking, “That’s the saddest thing. Important things are what matter to me, not her bulls–t claims.”
This dramatic confrontation follows Shay’s assertions during a promotional tour for her new book, My Good Side, where she alleged that Vanderpump used her personal struggles to bolster her own television career. Speaking to Us Weekly, Shay, who starred on Vanderpump Rules for 11 seasons, claimed, “Vanderpump low-key used my real-life pain to launch her TV empire — and what an empire she has.”
Shay’s history with actor Eddie Cibrian has resurfaced as a central theme in this controversy. Vanderpump introduced Shay to Cibrian’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, in a 2013 episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which ultimately led to the creation of the spinoff Vanderpump Rules. Shay insists that Vanderpump was well aware of her past relationship with Cibrian, who was married to Glanville at the time, yet “pretended otherwise” on the show.
In her book, Shay accused Vanderpump of “gaslighting” her for a decade, stating, “She doesn’t make mistakes. She makes moves and then calls them coincidences.” Shay recounted a specific incident during Season 6 of Vanderpump Rules when she felt pressured to defend James Kennedy during a staff meeting. “I got a phone call from Lisa. She didn’t want to fire James, so she needed someone to stand up for him,” Shay claimed. She described the intense pressure she felt, recalling, “I’m getting a death stare from Lisa, like, ‘When are you going to speak up? When are you going to stick to the script?’”
Shay also reiterated her innocence regarding her past with Cibrian, asserting, “He’s the one who lied. He is the one who cheated. He is the homewrecker.”
As this drama unfolds, fans and followers of both reality stars are left questioning the future of their relationship and the impact on their respective careers. The public fallout is sure to keep viewers engaged as more details emerge.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as more reactions and developments are expected in the coming days.
