As a seasoned observer of the tumultuous world of reality television, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of empathy for the characters who populate the Bravo Cinematic Universe (BCU). Their lives are a rollercoaster ride of love, betrayal, and redemption, often playing out in the public eye.
Scheana Shay hopes Ally Lewber continues to feel like royalty, despite the turbulence in her relationship with James Kennedy.
A “Vanderpump Rules” cast member recently spoke up about James’ December 10th domestic violence arrest, explaining the reason for her delay in addressing the issue publicly, which was his legal predicament.
Initially, let me clarify that I was honoring Ally’s wish for privacy and didn’t want to contribute to any publicity because she’s dealing with a lot at the moment. However, I realized that my silence might be misinterpreted. This is why I decided to address it during the December 27th episode of my Scheananigans podcast.
Scheana disclosed that she’s had a conversation with Ally after James was detained due to an altercation with an unidentified female, which occurred at a house in Burbank earlier this month.
39-year-old stated, “I regularly reach out to her, and I’ve always done so. However, I understand if my silence is misconstrued as tacit approval of his actions, which is certainly not the case.
As a lifestyle expert, I can share that I personally took some time to empathize with James’ past relationship breakup with his ex-partner, Raquel Leviss, and how my spouse and I offered our support during the challenging times of their 2021 separation.
For quite some time, Raquel and I were extremely close friends, and she’d often assure me that James never physically harmed her. However, as we’re all aware, abuse isn’t solely physical, and it eventually prompted her to leave the relationship. This incident stirred a great deal of compassion within me, which is why Brock and I assisted in moving her out and welcoming her into our home temporarily. My aim was to provide help and create a secure environment for her during this challenging time.
As he looks ahead, Scheana expresses her aspirations that James will strive towards self-improvement following his arrest.
I truly hope James recognizes this as a crucial turning point in his life, and is genuinely dedicated to embracing a healing journey instead of viewing it as an obstacle for his tour or residency. He requires assistance, not just to protect Ally or other women from future abusive encounters, but to enable him to experience wholesome relationships. I believe he desires these things himself, and it’s crucial that he equips himself with the right resources to confront his past traumas in a healthy manner, rather than displacing them onto others.
In the end, Scheana stated of Ally, “I want her to know that she is supported.”
In reference to James, exactly a week following the occurrence, he voiced his opinion, conveying a thought about personal improvement.
On December 17th, the individual shared on their Instagram Story that they are dedicated to bringing about impactful changes in their life. They’re devoting time to cultivate their sobriety, personal development, and being available for their loved ones. Although facing difficult times isn’t simple, they expressed their resolve to learn, grow, and advance with the strong support system by their side.
Speaking of Ally, she gratefully recognized the help and encouragement she’s been given by her fans throughout these challenging times.
She expressed gratitude on her Instagram Stories on December 14, thanking everyone who had shown love, support, and concern. She assured them that she was doing alright, but needed some personal space at the moment. She greatly valued the compassion and understanding they displayed towards her privacy during this period.
Keep reading to look back at some of the biggest scandals to rock the VPR cast.
It’s important to recall that the entire series originated from Scheana Shay’s affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, who was then married to Brandi Glanville, a former star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” While Brandi was pregnant with their second child, Scheana began dating him. Lisa Vanderpump arranged a dramatic confrontation between the two women at SUR, which served as a transition from an episode of “RHOBH” to “Vanderpump Rules,” making it one of the sneakiest and messiest crossovers ever!
During the whole first season, Jax Taylor insisted he hadn’t been unfaithful to his girlfriend Stassi Schroeder. However, in the season finale, he confesses that, in fact, he had been untrue – he cheated with a woman in Las Vegas and she became pregnant as a result.
His confession left Stassi, as well as the entire cast who had supported and stood by his side during their split, utterly astonished.
In the second season, one of the most notorious romantic entanglements occurred when Jax admitted to sleeping with Kristen Doute, a close friend of Stassi. Interestingly enough, Kristen was in a relationship at that time with Tom Sandoval, who was also one of Jax’s best friends.
Initially denying the allegation, Kristen eventually acknowledged that they had a non-kissing encounter during the series finale, which took place as they watched the movie Drive featuring Ryan Gosling, with Tom asleep in another room. The climactic event was Stassi slapping Kristen and Tom striking Jax.
Seasons later, Kristen later admitted to cheating on Tom throughout their six-year relationship.
In the second season, Ariana Madix joined the cast, which prompted Kristen to harbor doubts about Tom’s friendship with another bartender. Despite their assertions that they had never been intimate while Tom was still dating Kristen, Ariana famously said during this period, “I’m more intelligent than you, I’m more attractive than you. Just move on,” which caused a stir. Later in the season, it was revealed during the reunion that Tom and Ariana shared a kiss in a pool when they were both in Las Vegas.
In response to Andy Cohen’s inquiry about her concerns regarding Tom’s past indiscretions after he admitted to cheating on Kristen several times, Ariana expressed, “I’ve been acquainted with him for three years. I have a deep understanding of his character. It’s not an issue that I concern myself with—in the slightest.” (Softly exhales.)
Following the news that Tom and Ariana became an official item, it was disclosed in season three by Kristen that a woman contacted her on Instagram, asserting she had spent time with Tom while he was in Miami with Jax and Schwartz. During a visit to SUR, Kristen introduced this woman, known as “Miami Girl,” to confront Tom. However, Ariana dismissed the allegation after Tom strongly denied it, and they left without further discussion.
During that period, it appeared as if Jax was betraying his friend by supporting the accusation. Following their split in 2023, Jax – who departed the show in 2020 – posted a mysterious tweet.
He penned, “On that program, I’ve frequently asserted claims that others found unconvincing. However, whatever I express tends to prove accurate in the end.
In the year 2016, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney tied the knot. However, during the sixth season, he admitted to passionately kissing one of Lala Kent’s friends while under the influence of alcohol.
When asked about the story, Schwartz stated that his recollection was vague. In a 2018 episode, he said, “I’m positive it didn’t happen,” and then, “Yes, I recall going to The Bungalow, but I’m certain I didn’t kiss anyone. I was extremely drunk that night, and I do remember that.
Later on, Schwartz expresses his confusion about his actions in a private conversation, stating, “I am genuinely puzzled.
However, it wasn’t a new occurrence that Schwartz had been unfaithful to Katie during his intoxicated state, as he confessed to having kissed another woman in season three when under the influence.
After 12 years together, Katie and Schwartz announced their breakup in March 2022.
In a 2014 broadcast, Jax accused Katie of infidelity with Schwartz by engaging in an act known as “motorboating” with an unidentified man. He had learned this story from Scheana. This allegation made Katie very angry and Scheana eventually apologized to her fellow cast member.
In a Bravo blog post, Scheana clarified that she never accused anyone of cheating; instead, she shared her observations. After discussing the situation with Katie, Scheana now understands it was not as it initially appeared. When Katie leaned over to remove her shoes, her head happened to be in that area. Additionally, when Katie was dancing while intoxicated and moving her head back and forth, it seemed as though she was ‘motorboating’ a man. However, Scheana emphasized that Katie did not cheat; rather, Scheana felt that she overstepped some boundaries.
In my relentless pursuit for the truth, delving deep into Uber receipts and other clues, I, as a devoted fan, uncovered something shocking about my beloved James Kennedy during season four. He tried to deceive me by denying any wrongdoings when confronted, only admitting to a possible kiss. However, his true colors were exposed in an interview where he confessed, “Jenna and I were definitely more than just friends; we were hooking up.” And thus, a new iconic .GIF was born!
Not just that incident, James had other instances of infidelity as well. Besides hooking up with Lala (who thought he was single), he also got involved with Lauren, another SUR hostess, despite her being in a relationship with yet another employee at the restaurant.
In the whirlwind of my life post-Kristen, I found myself smitten by none other than Raquel Leviss during season five. This lovely student and beauty pageant contestant seemed like a dream come true for me. However, our relationship hit a rocky patch when rumors of infidelity swirled around us. It all started when Scheana, Kristen, and three ex-employees from SUR crashed one of my DJ gigs. They alleged that they had been involved with me during the time I was dating Raquel – they even had snapshots of me asleep! Quite a shocking turn of events, wasn’t it?
In a turn of events, James refuted all the women’s tales, and he and Raquel carried on dating until 2021, when they decided to end their five-year relationship by calling off their engagement. However, after parting ways, James admitted to having had an affair with Lala at the start of his romance with Raquel.
Raquel revealed to TopMob News in February that, back then, I was quite innocent and believed James hadn’t been unfaithful. However, more recent evidence shows he did, indeed, cheat on me several times. That revelation was tough to accept.
2017 marked another year and another instance of infidelity on my part, as I admitted to having an affair with a former SUR waitress named Faith Stowers. Initially, I denied the allegations during the premiere of season six, but after being confronted by my then-girlfriend Brittany Cartwright – while I was wearing a Taco Bell sweatshirt – I chose to come clean about my actions.
Jax admitted in a private conversation that he wasn’t new to being caught dishonest. In the past, he had spent extensive periods denying any wrongdoing, but it hadn’t helped his situation. He further explained that he and Brittany were experiencing difficulties (as depicted in their 2017 spinoff, Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky), which pushed him into a relationship with Faith.
Of course, it’s clear that Jax’s confession left Brittany heartbroken, prompting her to say the now-famous “May you rot in hell!” Instead of parting ways with Jax permanently, they surprisingly reconciled and tied the knot in June 2019. Two years on, they joyfully welcomed their son, named Cruz, into their family.
On March 3, 2023, there was a significant development in the BCU (Bravo Cinematic Universe) as it was disclosed that Tom and Ariana had called off their nine-year romance, following the public exposure of his seven-month relationship with Raquel.
In a heartfelt apology on Instagram posted on March 8th, the co-owner of TomTom admitted he had made mistakes, acted selfishly, and made rash decisions that caused harm to someone dear to him. He acknowledged that no one should have to endure such intense and public pain.
He stated, “What saddens me most is the fact that I let down Ariana. It was never my intention to cause disappointment to so many people, including our cherished families and friends.
Apart from apologizing publicly to Ariana, Raquel admitted there was no justification for her behavior, acknowledging her past mistakes. In a subsequent declaration, Raquel delved into the future prospects of her connection with Tom.
In her statement to TopMob News, Raquel expressed that she prioritizes taking care of her health, focusing on personal development, and finding comfort in solitude. She also shared her affection for Tom, preferring not to define their relationship or predict the future. For now, she emphasized the importance of healing herself.
