Scheana Shay says she “fully intends” to be at the Vanderpump Rules meeting in person

Scheana Shay has stated that she “fully intends” to be in person at the Vanderpump Rules meeting despite Raquel Leviss’ temporary restraining order against her.

The 37-year-old reality star, who was recently defended by her co-star Kristen Doute, took to her Sheananigans podcast on Saturday and addressed rampant fan speculation that she might not be able to make it to the reunion.

Shay proclaimed: ‘As far as I know, I intend to be there in person. I have no say in how this works logistically, if it’s Zoom.

‘We also have another COVID test that we need to do before the meeting. So that’s not up to me at all. I just want to make that very clear.

The next VPR meeting descended into chaos after Leviss, 28, obtained a temporary restraining order against Shay this week after she accused her of assault, which Scheana has vehemently denied.

Leviss filed for the restraining order after claiming that Shay had punched her in the face, giving her a black eye.

She also said that Shay had pushed her into a rupture wall, which allegedly hurt the back of her head.

Speaking to Page Six on Wednesday, Scheana’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani, claimed that Leviss was “sabotaging” the meeting by seeking a temporary restraining order.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Leviss and Shay. A representative for Bravo declined to comment.

Leviss has been accused of having an affair with co-star Tom Sandoval, who had been in a nine-year relationship with Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.

The cheating scandal bombshell is what prompted Shay to allegedly hit on Leviss, adding fuel to the fire of VPR’s explosive tenth season.

The meeting is scheduled to be recorded on March 23, nearly a week before a court hearing on Leviss’s restraining order.

Neither Leviss nor Shay can be in the same room for the event, which usually takes on a confrontational atmosphere.

“The temporary restraining order, as it stands now, currently prohibits Scheana from being within 100 yards of Rachel, so they cannot be physically present at the meeting,” Rahmani continued.

He added that “there’s really no mechanism to modify this type of temporary civil restraining order before the (March 29) hearing, so it certainly jeopardizes reunion, at least having them all together in person.”

He noted that “Scheana is still unable to communicate with Rachel either directly or through an intermediary,” which would apparently rule out the possibility of a dramatic confrontation between the two, which producers and audiences are likely hoping for.

Andy Cohen, who would host the reunion, suggested on his radio show that fans could hear from the two feuding women through solo interview segments, allowing them to share their side of the story and react to the Raquel’s matter without communicating directly. .

Despite the temporary restraining order filed against her, Shay has denied ever assaulting Leviss through Rahmani.

“Scheana Shay never hit Rachel, period,” she told page six on March 9, referring to Leviss by his legal name. “This entire case is a fabrication of a known liar and cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her.”

In an apology note Leviss shared for Tom Sandoval’s ex Ariana Madix on March 8, she claimed she had been “physically assaulted.” She appeared to be referring to her alleged altercation with Shay, in which she claimed that she was punched in the face by her.

Last week, Shay joked that the cast of Vanderpump Rules would need “cages” at their reunion to keep everyone safer.

On Wednesday, Ariana finally broke her silence about the alleged affair and sent her thanks to her family and close circle of friends.

He specifically praised those who have given him the “strength to carry on and have helped me through my darkest hours.” To say that I have been devastated and broken is an understatement.’

‘However, I know that I am not alone in this. Many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss at this time and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels.”

I am so fucking lucky to have the best support system in the world and I look forward to repaying each person for the love they have shown me. What doesn’t kill me better runs.
