Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay's friendship, which has endured significant challenges during the tumultuous events of 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11, serves as a compelling case study in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships within high-pressure environments. Their bond, characterized by both loyalty and conflict, exemplifies how personal and public narratives can intertwine to shape friendships. Despite experiencing a high-profile falling out amidst dramatic revelations about infidelity and betrayal among cast members, Ariana and Scheana have managed to navigate their differences while maintaining a semblance of camaraderie.
The complexities surrounding their friendship are further accentuated by the broader context of reality television culture. In an environment where personal grievances are often amplified for entertainment purposes, Ariana and Scheana's ability to reconnect highlights the resilience inherent in their relationship. Their interactions reflect not only individual emotional investment but also an understanding of the performative aspects of reality television. This duality allows them to engage with one another authentically while recognizing that external pressures can complicate their dynamic.
During an appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen', Ariana was asked if she's still in touch with Scheana and she replied: "Here and there." Ariana subsequently acknowledged that their friendship took "a big hit" after the reunion. However, she also revealed that they're now mending their relationship. Ariana said: "There’s a lot of love there and I think that will always be there. And I’m really happy … she just won an award for talking about her postpartum OCD and I thought that was like really, really lovely." Ariana clashed with Scheana over her reluctance to forgive Tom Sandoval, Ariana's ex-boyfriend, for his 2023 cheating scandal.
Shay defended Madix during the reunion, but also acknowledged the growing wedge between the pair. “She’s busier than she’s ever been. Even before we started filming, I did feel distance,” Shay said. “I know you have done that to other people in your life who are close to you as well so I know it is not just me.”
Amid the emotional conversation, Shay referenced Madix’s decision not to watch episodes of Vanderpump Rules. “You never watched the show. You are watching clips on TikTok. So you aren’t getting the full perspective and there were so many longer conversations I wish you had the chance to see,” Shay noted.
. Ariana also reveals that she hasn’t been in touch with Tom Schwartz since Vanderpump Rules wrapped last season and she’s spoken to Scheana Shay, but admits their friendship has taken a hit since the reunion.
