Lisa Vanderpump Slams Scheana Shay’s Exploitation Claims Now

UPDATE: Reality TV stars Lisa Vanderpump and Scheana Shay are embroiled in a heated exchange following Shay’s recent accusations of exploitation. Vanderpump responded sharply to Shay’s claims that she used personal struggles for fame, declaring, “Guess what? I don’t care what she says, how about that?” during an encounter with a TMZ paparazzo in Los Angeles on October 3, 2023.
Vanderpump, 64, emphasized her priorities, stating, “Important things are what matter to me, not her bulls–t claims,” referring to the death of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne earlier that day. The shocking comments come as Shay promotes her new book, “My Good Side,”, where she alleges Vanderpump exploited her past for personal gain.
During a press tour, Shay, 40, accused Vanderpump of using her “real-life pain” to build her television career. She specifically referenced her past relationship with actor Eddie Cibrian, which became a focal point of drama on the reality series “Vanderpump Rules”. Shay stated to Us Weekly, “[Vanderpump] low-key used my real-life pain to launch her TV empire — and what an empire she has.”
Shay’s allegations highlight a pivotal moment in her life when Vanderpump introduced her to Cibrian’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, in a 2013 episode of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, leading to the spinoff series. Shay claims Vanderpump was aware of her past with Cibrian, who was married at the time, and accused her of gaslighting her about the situation for nearly a decade.
“She gaslit me about it for a decade instead of just coming to me in the beginning,” Shay alleged.
Shay further detailed how her relationship with Vanderpump deteriorated after she began asserting her independence. She recalled a tense moment during Season 6 of “Vanderpump Rules” when she received a call from Vanderpump regarding co-star James Kennedy. Shay stated, “I got a death stare from Lisa, like, ‘When are you going to speak up? When are you going to stick to the script?’”
Despite the allegations, Vanderpump remains unfazed, indicating that she is focused on more significant matters than the drama surrounding Shay. As this story continues to develop, fans of both reality stars are left to ponder the ramifications of their public feud.
As reactions unfold, viewers are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates on this escalating situation in the world of reality television.
