Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay were spotted enjoying a walk and chat on Friday, in the wake of the drama ‘Scandoval.’
In the show’s final season, Ariana and her boyfriend Tom Sandoval broke up after nine years due to his affair with her friend Raquel Leviss.
The women on the show instantly closed ranks around Ariana, including Scheana, who has denied allegations that she hit Raquel for the betrayal.
Scheana and Ariana looked thick as crooks when they were spotted this week, chatting happily as they pounded the pavement.
Showing off her figure in a highlighter green workout outfit, Ariana could be seen enjoying a puff from a vaporizer.

While Ariana opted for a flesh-flashing crop top and matching leggings, Scheana donned a boyfriend-style sweater that almost completely obscured her skimpy shorts.
‘Scandoval’ took off in March when Ariana went through her boyfriend’s text messages and discovered the affair, which later exploded into headlines.
That night, Scheana was in New York with Raquel, who claimed that Scheana reacted to the explosive news by hitting her and pushing her against a wall.
Raquel managed to obtain a temporary restraining order against Scheana, who has strongly denied the hit.
However, on an episode of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana confessed that she was “so mad” at Raquel that she “pushed her so fucking far away from me.”
Raquel was subjected to such a ferocious torrent of backlash that she retired to a mental health facility for two months.
Over a decade ago, Scheana had an infamous affair with Eddie Cibrian while he was still married to his first wife Brandi Glanville and was cheating on her with former child star LeAnn Rimes, who is now his second wife.
Scheana has denied knowing that Eddie was married when she started dating him, and insists that she left him when she found out the truth.
Hunk-tastic: On the day of Scheana’s last outing with Ariana, her former co-star Jax Taylor was also spotted out and about in Los Angeles filming their Vanderpump Rules spin-off.

Jax, his wife Brittany Cartwright, and their friend Kristen Doute headline the new show, three years after they were all kicked out of the Vanderpump Rules proper.
Kristen and her co-star Stassi Schroeder were fired from Vanderpump Rules in June 2020 for racially profiling her black castmate Faith Stowers.
During the Black Lives Matter riots, Faith revealed that Stassi and Kristen once misidentified her as a black woman wanted for robbery and called the police.
After Stassie and Kristen were fired, outrage began to mount against Jax, who once also publicly accused Faith of criminality.
By December 2020, news broke that Jax and Brittany would also be leaving the show, though the reason for their departure was not publicly released.
Faith had an infamous affair with Jax when he was already romantically involved with Brittany, with whom he now has a son.
Jax was also at one point in a romantic relationship with Stassi, who dumped him for cheating on her with none other than Kristen.
Return: Jax, his wife Brittany Cartwright, and their friend Kristen Doute headline the new show, three years after they were all written out of Vanderpump Rules proper.
In late 2020, Vanderpump Rules producer Andy Cohen said that the instant firings of Kristen and Stassie were “decisions for that moment.”
told the New York Times: ‘It’s more interesting to sit in the moment with people you have a deep interest in and watch them find their way than to just turn off the lights and forget they even existed.’
Lisa Vanderpump gave entertainment tonight an interview in August 2020 and said: “I think it’s sad, really, what happened, because I think people can learn from their mistakes, and that’s what interests me.”
She noted: “Of course, we know we’re in this moment where people really stand up for what’s right, and I’m all of that and I accept it, and I believe in zero tolerance for that, but I also believe that you can come back from that and you’re young and you can learn from that.’
