This 'Vanderpump Rules' star had a secret to rival 'Scandoval'
Before the Coldplay concert kiss cam, and before brassy Brat summer, a different kind of scandalous, salacious story captured the internet's attention: "Scandoval." A head-scratching affair between Tom Sandoval and Rachel (formerly Raquel) Leviss during Season 10 of Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" in 2023 tore the cast apart. One of said Bravo-lebrities, Scheana Shay, was best friends with Sandoval's girlfriend at the time, Ariana Madix. The gang grew recognizable overnight. Hero and villain narratives sprouted like giant beanstalks. Anyone who dared challenge the prevailing narrative faced the wrath of a ravenous cancel culture. So when Shay showed Sandoval friendship the season after the Tom/Rachel/Ariana mess, viewers raised eyebrows. What kind of friend makes nice with the man who broke her friend's heart? Shay shares her side of the story in "My Good Side" (out now from Grand Central Publishing), which traces the Californian's childhood to her relationship with actor Eddie Cibrian and of course, her "Vanderpump Rules" trials and tribulations. But like any reality TV story, all is not what it seems. "I have always felt a calling to just share my lived experiences with the world, and I think that's why I love doing reality TV," Shay tells USA TODAY over a video call from New York. "But with doing reality TV, you only see one side. You only see parts of me, and this book shows all of me, the good side, the other side and everything in between." Scheana Shay says 'I didn't deserve the betrayal or the labels' Shay began her "Vanderpump Rules" journey as a Los Angeles waitress who dated Cibrian while he was married to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member Brandi Glanville. (Cibrian is currently married to singer LeAnn Rimes.) Shay claims Cibrian gaslit her, insisting he wasn't married at the time. "I do wish that I questioned it more," Shay says. "That would have saved me a lot of heartache and embarrassment." Much like Hester Prynne, she said she felt the world slapped a big "scarlet letter" across her. Now, Shay dusts her shoulders off. "I didn't deserve the betrayal or the labels, and I feel like I'm finally done carrying shame that isn't mine," she adds. The reality star faced many heartbreaks in her life, from a friend's death by suicide to a miscarriage to the traumatic birth of her now 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon. Shay was diagnosed with preeclampsia and later HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) and later postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder. She shares her daughter with husband Brock Davies, who dealt her yet another heartbreak. Scheana Shay finds 'strength in staying' and 'strength in leaving' after cheating Shay revealed toward the end of her memoir that in the wake of "Scandoval," Davies admitted cheating on her two years earlier while she was pregnant. Yes, reality shows give us an inside look at people's lives, but Shay chose to keep the truth about her marriage from nearly everyone while filming of Season 11. "I don't think our marriage was in a place where it could have survived that on that season," she says. "I'm glad that I kept that to myself for as long as I did, because it gave us a chance to really work on our marriage, for us, not for anyone else or anyone else's opinions." Shay walked a difficult tightrope: Should she support Ariana Madix full-stop, only later to seem like a hypocrite when news of her own relationship drama broke? Should she tell all and be slammed with opportunist accusations? Or should she try to play both sides? Madix "had every right to carry that narrative out. The focus needed to be on her. I also was still processing what I was going through. I was being very thoughtful about my daughter and how this could affect her, and I felt like at the time, I was not ready to open up about this," Shay says. Shay found strength in forgiveness: "I feel like there's strength in staying, there's strength in leaving and I needed to make the decision that was going to be best for my family and figure out if I'm capable of forgiveness." "As crazy as it sounds, I do trust him again, and I genuinely believe – and I'm sure people will say I'm naive – but I genuinely believe that he would never do this again, because he knows I would light him on fire and kick him out of the house." Scheana Shay believes in 'not letting your past define your future' Shay's manager introduced her to kintsugi, a Japanese art that pieces broken pottery back together using special gold paste to create something new and whole. Her single, "Good as Gold," is a nod to the practice and holds a deeper meaning about embracing our humanity. It's the ethos of her book: "turning pain into strength, scars into stories, and not letting your past define your future." Her future includes her podcast and YouTube channel, and perhaps a bigger role on "Vanderpump Rules" spinoff "The Valley," where she recurs. The original series will include a new cast for upcoming Season 12. If audiences learned anything, though, never count out a Scheana-ssance. "Whatever show it is, I will be on your TV screens," she says. "Not going anywhere."

Everything You Need to Know About ‘Summer House' Season 10
Summer House has become a reality TV staple since it first aired on Bravo in 2017. No, seriously—it's joined the ranks of the Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules franchises on the beloved network, making household names of stars like Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller. The series has even helped Kyle Cooke's beverage biz, Loverboy, reach new heights thanks to everyone drinking it on camera. The show has been on for eight years, and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon as it gears up for its 10th season. Though multiple cast members are exiting the series after spending the last few years on our screens (looking @ you, Paige DeSorbo and Lexi Wood), the gang is still planning to hit up the Hamptons for all their parties this summer. Ahead, find all the details on Summer House season 10, from casting news to its potential filming schedule. Historically, filming for the fan-favorite Bravo series begins filming every year around July 4. According to reports from Just Jared and Page Six, production is on track as it started in early July. Buckle up, because while most of the cast make their way back to the Hamptons, some are seeing themselves out. Paige, who's been on the show for seven seasons, announced her exit on the show with an Instagram Stories post on June 5, writing, 'Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life—the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable. You've seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I'll always be grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it's time for this chapter to close.' Season 9 newbies Lexi and Imrul Hassan won't be coming back, either. Lexi opted out after her drama with Jesse Solomon and Ciara Miller, according to an announcement she posted to her Instagram Stories in June. Imrul also told fans he would be exiting the show with his own IG Stories statement, where he thanked them for supporting his charity work. We can expect Jesse, Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson to keep throwing parties all summer. Ciara and Gabby Prescod have yet to confirm whether they're joining them. While nothing has been announced about new cast members just yet, fans are already theorizing about potential additions since Paige, Lexi, and Imrul are now out of the picture. According to a fan-made Reddit thread for the show, current casting rumors include three New Yorkers who are in the fashion and nightlife scenes. Right now, the names floating around are Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, KJ Dillard, and JJ Wakim. This is all purely based on speculation and some fans' social media sleuthing, so take it with a grain of salt. Here's a TL;DR on these folks: Levi works in events, Bailey hosts a social-first series and podcast called It Girl, JJ just received a doctorate and is exploring a healthcare career, and KJ is reportedly Instagram mutuals with West. Some even noted that several Summer House cast members follow them. Of course, we'll be updating this post with any official casting news. Allow us to catch you up to speed ahead of the show's big return. The season 9 finale was all about relationships ending and finding new beginnings, as Lexi and Jesse's summer romance fizzled out and Paige split with her boyfriend of three years, Craig Conover. Lindsay also welcomed her baby girl, Gemma, in the final episode.

Jax Taylor exits ‘The Valley' to focus on sobriety, mental health and coparenting
Jax Taylor will not be returning to 'The Valley' for Season 3. The 46-year-old reality star's departure follows a fraught second season on the 'Vanderpump Rules' spinoff, which chronicled the end of his marriage to Brittany Cartwright and time in a mental health treatment facility. Before the season premiered in April, Taylor also opened up about his on-and-off cocaine addiction for the past two decades. 'After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I'll be stepping away from the next season of 'The Valley,'' he said in a statement. 'Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health and coparenting. Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son, Cruz.' Taylor's unraveling marriage and struggles with sobriety were at the center of Season 2. Just before production began in July 2024, Taylor allegedly flipped a coffee table and bruised Cartwright's knee, his estranged wife said on the show. Even while in the mental health facility, he continued to watch Cartwright on their home cameras and send her angry text messages, which were shown on the reality series. 'You took my job away from me … I've worked so hard for two years for this and you took it from me,' read one text. 'Now do the work as a single mom. I am watching the cameras and [you're] not there,' he said in another. Cartwright filed for divorce in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. Taylor was served divorce papers on camera, shown in Episode 10. He has since agreed to give Cartwright full custody of their 4-year-old son, Cruz, according to People. 'The Valley' Season 2 finale will air July 22, followed by three reunion episodes. Taylor will appear at the reunion, which was filmed in May, Bravo confirmed.
