Scheana Shay Exposes Lindsay Hubbard's Shocking Move After Scandoval on 'Vanderpump Rules': The Shocking Truth!

Scheana Shay accused Lindsay Hubbard of exposing her secret while discussing the Bravo stars' expected encounter with photographers after Scandoval.

"We were in New York for an event that I was involved in and Ariana Madix was a guest on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. We were having dinner with Lindsay, Carl Radke, and a few others when all of a sudden, there were photographers everywhere as soon as we left the event," Shay, 38, revealed on her "Scheananigans" podcast episode on Friday, October 6, to Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner.

Shay seemed to be discussing the Bravo stars' recent gathering in New York City. This star-studded dinner included Shay, Madix, Hubbard, and Radke, along with Brock Davies, Madison LeCroy, and Madix's boyfriend Daniel Wai. Shay shared that after the outing, mutual friends reached out to her via text, asking if Lindsay had informed her about calling the paparazzi on the group. They mentioned that Lindsay has a tendency to do so.

Shay confessed to having previous experience in arranging photo shoots for herself, but stopped doing it when she faced criticism. However, recently, the opportunities for such shoots have been coming to her naturally without her having to make any calls.

Shay has been receiving unprecedented attention following the cheating scandal involving Tom Sandoval. In March, we confirmed that Sandoval, 41, and Madix ended their nearly decade-long relationship due to his affair with Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss. As a result, the majority of the cast has sided with Madix in the aftermath.

As Sandoval continued with the show, alliances became more complicated during the filming of season 11. Leviss, 29, chose not to rejoin her costars and later confirmed that she had no intention of appearing on the Bravo series in the future.

Shay faced criticism when a fan photo emerged, revealing her with her arm around Sandoval during a group picture. In a July Instagram Story video, she expressed confusion about why she felt compelled to justify the position of her hand.

In light of the negative online response, Madix stood up for her close friend against the scrutiny.

“@Scheana is an incredible friend who gracefully posed for a fan's birthday photo. Unfortunately, she has faced an onslaught of hurtful comments in response, despite her kind gesture,” she shared on her Instagram Story. “We always make an effort to accommodate photo requests, and when the entire cast is available, it's customary for everyone to join in the picture, regardless of any personal issues between us.” In a later confession, Shay admitted that severing ties with Sandoval was still a difficult battle she was facing.

“I never considered him to be a bad person. He had been one of my closest friends for nearly 15 years. He was the only one who supported me on the show, fighting for me whenever something unfair happened. He was always in my corner," she revealed on a September episode of her podcast. "Dealing with all this has been a personal struggle because I acknowledge that what he did was truly wrong. But he wasn't a bad friend to me. However, his actions have had a significant impact on me. It has completely changed the dynamics of our group."

More recently, Shay further explained her choice to continue filming with the TomTom cofounder, exclusively informing Us on Wednesday, October 4, "He has always been a loyal friend to me, and that's what made it so difficult. I've always been the kind of person who says, 'Well, he didn't do it to me.' But this time, it felt more personal. Yes, he didn't cheat on me, but he did betray me and lie to me. There were other things as well."

She added: “To lose him because of his actions, it was really hard for me.”
