Scheana Shay understands Lala Kent’s ‘frustration’ with Ariana Madix after rumored reunion fight

Scheana Shay can see why Lala Kent was frustrated with Ariana Madix during their rumored confrontation at the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 11 reunion.

When Shay appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” Tuesday, Andy Cohen asked her how she feels about “Lala talking about your best friend Ariana so poorly.”

“Here’s the thing, I understand Lala’s frustration, and I will say that, on the contrary, Lala has said a lot of things about me recently that I really appreciate, and I think she is loyal as hell, and she’s an incredible friend,” she replied.

Shay, 38, teased that “after the reunion and finale airs, everyone will understand as well.”

The “Good as Gold” singer shared her take amid rampant speculation that Kent, 33, and Madix, 38, had a falling out over their heated argument at the reunion.

Rumors about the feud first surfaced with a viral tweet that claimed Madix had “eviscerated” Kent, causing their friendship to end.

However, Kent later insinuated that she was the person who did the eviscerating, which Lisa Vanderpump agreed with.

“I wouldn’t say Ariana eviscerated Lala,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum said on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast last week. “I don’t think Lala ever wastes any time letting anybody know what she feels, which is why we kind of like her.”

Vanderpump, 63, explained that the situation was “very complicated” but implied that the argument had something to do with Tom Sandoval’s mental health as he continued to face backlash over his affair with Rachel Leviss while still dating Madix.

The “Vanderpump Villa” star shared that Kent was more willing to hear out Sandoval’s struggles, while Madix was not.

“When we jumped into that, there was a lot of heightened feelings,” she said.

“This group is very outspoken but also pretty forgiving if you think [about] what we’ve been through,” she explained.

Madix, for her part, has kept tight-lipped about the reunion and confrontation.

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Tuesdays at 8 pm. ET on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
