Ariana Madix Stands Up for Scheana Shay Amid Fan Criticism

Ariana Madix has come to the defense of Scheana Shay after the latter faced backlash from fans. Historically, Ariana and Scheana haven’t always been close, yet Ariana felt compelled to ask fans to stop the hate directed at Scheana. Here’s more on why Ariana stepped up for her co-star.

In the previous season of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana admitted to feeling jealous of Ariana. She wasn’t thrilled with all the attention Ariana was receiving. This jealousy led to fans harboring negative feelings towards Scheana.

“I just am hurting still. Why can I never have one moment where it can be about me? I am hurt. I lost a very, very dear friend. I am struggling with that. But I am not allowed to feel anything because it is only about Ariana. I am tired.”

Scheana also mentioned Ariana’s role as her backup dancer when she got cast for Dancing With The Stars. The jealousy between the two was evident, yet Ariana didn’t let it affect her too deeply. Instead, she continued to thrive. Scheana felt upset about losing Tom Sandoval as a friend, a situation resulting from Ariana’s stance of not being friends with anyone associated with Tom. Many in their circle had to choose sides, leaving Scheana hurt over her fractured relationships. However, Ariana had her own heartbreak to deal with, losing her boyfriend of nearly ten years.

Ariana shared with fans how busy her schedule is, listing out her numerous plans. However, one fan commented on Scheana’s apparent jealousy, stating:

“I know @scheana punching the air rn cause you booked and busy lol 💀💀💀.”

Ariana quickly responded in defense of Scheana:

“Let’s stop with this ❤️.”

Fans were pleasantly surprised to see Ariana stand up for Scheana, showing support despite their past differences. The gesture was well-received as it highlighted positivity and unity among the cast members.

The supportive gesture indicates that Ariana and Scheana might now be on better terms. Even if their relationship isn’t fully mended, it’s evident Ariana doesn’t support the hate aimed at Scheana. Fans appreciate seeing them back each other up, especially considering the challenges Ariana has faced in the past year and a half.
