Drama is brewing again in the Vanderpump universe—and it’s getting messier by the day.
Lisa Vanderpump is clapping back at Scheana Shay after the Vanderpump Rules star made explosive claims in her new memoir My Good Side—alleging that LVP knowingly used her pain and scandal to build a TV empire. But Lisa’s response? Brutally cold and unapologetic.
We caught up with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG on Tuesday in Beverly Hills, and she didn’t mince words when asked about Scheana’s claims. Dressed in classic LVP glam and surrounded by her signature air of confidence, Lisa responded:
“I don’t care what she says,” she said bluntly. “I’m more concerned about Ozzy Osbourne dying — that’s the saddest thing. Important things are what matter to me, not her bullst.”**
???? Scheana’s Memoir Alleges Long-Term Gaslighting by Lisa
The drama ignited when Scheana dropped some shocking tea in her book My Good Side, which is already climbing Amazon’s bestseller charts. In it, she opens up about her infamous affair with actor Eddie Cibrian in 2006, long before the days of #Scandoval or any “pasta fights” aired on Bravo.
Scheana claims Lisa knew about her involvement with Cibrian long before the show staged her awkward introduction to his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, in a now-infamous 2013 RHOBH crossover episode.
“Lisa knew all along,” Scheana writes in her memoir. “But she played dumb and gaslit me for a decade about it.”
She goes on to describe how she felt manipulated by producers—and specifically Lisa—suggesting her personal trauma was repackaged for entertainment without her consent.
???? Flashback: The Reality TV Setup That Sparked a Feud
Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules will recall that 2013 scene where Lisa orchestrated a sit-down between Scheana and Brandi. What was supposed to be a moment of closure between two women wronged by the same man quickly turned into a Bravo spectacle.
At the time, Lisa seemed shocked to discover Scheana’s history with Cibrian. But Scheana now insists the whole thing was pre-planned—and says she was exploited by the woman she once called a mentor.
???? The Book Is Blowing Up—But Lisa’s Not Biting
Despite the rising popularity of My Good Side—with glowing fan reviews and massive media attention—Lisa Vanderpump has made it clear she’s not losing sleep over the claims.
Instead, she’s distancing herself from the feud altogether, suggesting she’s focusing on more important things like real world issues.
“I’ve been in this business for decades,” Vanderpump told us, “and I’ve seen it all. This is nothing new.”
???? Fan Reactions Are Divided
Social media lit up after Lisa’s comments went viral. On X (formerly Twitter), fans quickly took sides:
- #TeamScheana supporters applauded her for speaking her truth and holding Vanderpump accountable.
- Meanwhile, #TeamLVP fans praised Lisa’s no-nonsense attitude and labeled Scheana’s accusations a “publicity stunt.”
“Lisa built an empire—Scheana got screen time off of it. Now she’s crying foul?” one user posted.
“No one deserves to have their trauma repackaged for drama. Scheana has every right to be upset,” another replied.
???? What’s Really at Stake?
This isn’t just reality TV drama—it’s a glimpse behind the Bravo curtain. At the heart of it lies a bigger conversation about consent, power dynamics in reality television, and the emotional toll of being a ‘storyline.’
Scheana Shay’s memoir may just be the beginning of a broader reckoning within the Vanderpump Rules universe.
???? Is This the End of Lisa and Scheana’s Relationship?
Though the two have had their ups and downs over the years, this latest chapter feels especially final. With Lisa showing zero interest in reconciling—and Scheana doubling down in interviews—the rift appears to be deep and personal.
Will this turn into another long-running Bravo feud? Or could we be witnessing the slow unraveling of Vanderpump’s carefully curated public image?
Only time—and maybe Season 12—will tell.
???? What’s Next?
Scheana continues to promote her book with candid interviews and cryptic social posts. Meanwhile, LVP remains booked, busy, and utterly unbothered—at least on the surface.
