Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay's Coachella Encounter: Insider Reveals 'Some Tension'

The cast of Vanderpump Rules is still feeling the aftermath of the season 11 reunion taping. Ally Lewber shared some updates on Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay’s relationship.

Ally, 28, revealed to Us on Tuesday, April 23, that she recently saw Ariana and Scheana at Coachella. She mentioned that there was some tension between them. Despite this, Ally believes that ultimately, they are like a family. She acknowledged that they have been through a lot together and expressed confidence that they will work things out. However, she also acknowledged that there may be some hurt feelings among them.

Ally noticed that rewatching the season felt a bit different than what everyone initially expected. Ariana, who is 38 years old, also mentioned this week that she is not happy with the idea that she is being portrayed as a villain on the show. However, Ally disagrees with this sentiment.

She expressed, "I don't believe Ariana is being portrayed as a villain. But I do notice that a lot of attention is being given to Sandoval in a certain way." Ally added, "I can understand that perspective, but I don't think there is any way Ariana could be portrayed as a villain."

Season 11 of VPR has been all about the aftermath of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, which ultimately caused the breakup of Ariana and Sandoval's long-term relationship.

Viewers have had mixed feelings about how the cast has dealt with their friendships with Sandoval. While Ariana and Katie Maloney have decided to distance themselves from him, Scheana and Lala Kent have been more open to hearing him out multiple times.

Ally, who has been a Libra Moon all her life, shared with Us that being in the middle can be tough. Despite this, she has grown accustomed to it. She mentioned that she is friends with both Scheana and Ariana. During their hangout at Coachella, they were able to avoid discussing any potential conflicts. If they wanted to address it, the option was open for them.

Recent reports suggest that tensions may have peaked during the reunion, which was filmed last month.

Ally shared with Us that the latest episode was intense and captivating. She expressed her own excitement to rewatch it because of the emotional impact it had on her.
