Christian Doute don’t think Scheana Shay hit Rachel Lewis after learning of his relationship with her Tom Sandovallongtime girlfriend, friend Ariana Madix.
When you look at it Nick Viall‘s podcast was, on Vanderpump Rules star, who returned to the show for season 10 after being fired in June 2020, commented on Raquel’s ban on Scheana, explaining why she agreed to film, announcing the offer. Lisa Vanderpump created Ariana after the messy split from Sandoval, and others.
“I know Scheana’s mad, but … Scheana can’t hit people even when she’s mad,” Kristen said on the March 16 episode. Viall file, via Page Six. “He’s a five-dollar wave, and his nails are longer than his fingers. It’s just bullshit.”
According to Kristen, Scheana “may have pushed” Raquel and “may have scratched her with a fingernail.”
“I respect him that he did. I got backhanded by [Stassi Schroeder]decent, [in 2014], and did you see me accuse?” she asked, giving a nod to her own affair with Stassi’s then-boyfriend, Jax Taylor.
Kristen then notes that one of Raquel’s eyes “always…gets darker at the bottom” and tells her to “grow up”.
“They don’t break your bones,” Kristen said, comparing Scheana’s alleged scratches to someone taking “red lipstick and [drawing] line” and joked that the wound was “healing quickly.”
As Pump Rules fans will remember, Raquel did not seem to sport a cut when she appeared in the first post-“Scandoval” appearance, and Christian took the news, saying she had “no marks on her face” before shading she filed legally as “convenience.”
“How convenient that Raquel now doesn’t have to sit under a hot lamp and be in a hot seat. It’s convenient for me, and this is Raquel’s way of getting out of it,” he suspected.
In the middle of “Scandoval,” Kristen chose to return to filming with Ariana — only after Ariana gave her the go-ahead.
“I filmed that scene because Ariana specifically said, ‘I really need you to do this for me,'” Kristen said, as reported by Us Weekly. “I told him, ‘I have nothing to gain from this. I, in fact, will look like an opportunist or a thirsty person.'”
“I told him specifically, ‘This has nothing to do with the network, the production, the ratings, anything. What do you need? Because you also now have to talk about this a million times to a lot of people, on camera and off. So if this is just once again you don’t want to do it, I don’t need to do it.’ They wanted me to, so I did it,” she said.
And despite not having anything to do with Lisa, Kristen praised her former boss for giving Ariana “off-camera” support.
“Ariana has said that Lisa welcomes her with open arms, like, ‘You can come, bring your dog and your cat, you can come to Villa Rosa,'” Kristen said. “Ariana was like, ‘Sh-t, did I do that? That sounds amazing.’ … He needs all the love and support he can get, whether it’s from people he doesn’t like or not.
In addition to open about Pump Rules scandal on Nick’s podcast, Christian hosted his own episode of Sex, Love and What Elsealso via Us Weekly, during which she clapped back at body-shamers.
As fans have already seen, Kristen faced harsh criticism after paparazzi snapped photos outside Ariana’s home.
“I texted Ariana before, like, ‘We’re in cozies, right? Because mom hasn’t been wearing anything but leggings since 2019.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, sure,'” Kristen recalled. “I’m sorry, do I stand with perfect posture and bend over whatever’s left? No, I don’t. I’m not worried about those things because I’m worried about walking over to my friend’s house and checking on her.
“What gives you the right to make such comments? How were you raised?” he continued. “Let’s go, let’s go to sleep. let’s sleep.”
After noting that many accused her of being “overweight or fat,” and slamming critics as “rude,” Kristen admitted that she was shading certain people.
“Are you really perfect? Sorry, I don’t have a six pack, who does?” she asked. “Body-shaming is just bullshit. It’s frustrating because I know my own insecurities.
Kristen then said that she started gaining weight “a few months” after she stopped smoking and recently stopped exercising after her trainer moved to Tennessee.
“I just haven’t worked, I know I have to [my] mind, body, and soul. I hold the weight in place when I’m stressed,” she explained.
