Scheananigans with Scheana Shay

Kiki Monique and Ryan Bailey are back in the studio this week, and somehow exploding champagne is the least messy thing on the agenda. Following Hayden Panettiere’s heartbreaking story, the trio discusses postpartum mental health, the stigma that still surrounds it, and why women should never be professionally punished for speaking openly about what they’re going through. They also unpack the Lindsay Clancy trial, the misinformation spreading online, and the difficult question at the center of so much of the discourse: when someone is repeatedly asking for help, who has a responsibility to actually hear them?

Then, it’s back to the mess with Jax publicly airing his grievances with Brittany, the staged paparazzi shots of Jax & Lori K, and Ryan refusing to even open Jax’s DM. Ryan also wants to know why Scheana isn’t on “The Valley” and whether there’s any truth to the idea that she’s secretly dying to get back on reality TV. Scheana shares what she envisions for her future in that space—and why, if she does return, viewers may meet a very different version of her. Plus, Scheana reveals why she didn’t find Lala’s reunion apology authentic, reflects on the version of Katie Maloney she wishes she’d appreciated sooner, and explains why being told someone “doesn’t recognize” her anymore might actually be the biggest compliment.

This week, Scheana is flying solo for an AMA episode, but first she opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her beloved cat, Penny Lane, and reflects on the 17 years they spent together. Then it's straight into your questions as she addresses Lala's comments at “The Valley” reunion, explains why "apology accepted, access denied" has become her new philosophy, and shares why protecting your peace sometimes means walking away from friendships that no longer serve you.

She also clears the air on Janet's Reunion claims, reveals whether she'd ever appear on “House of Stassi,” and explains why reality TV should never replace therapy. Plus, Scheana gets candid about motherhood, anxiety, and why speaking your truth isn't the same thing as burning bridges.

She also shares a funny moms' night out encounter with Nick Cannon, teases new music, answers questions about her future in reality TV, and weighs in on all the chatter about where she might pop up next. Finally, why does the thought of MySpace making a comeback give Scheana anxiety? Apparently, surviving reality TV is easier than surviving another round of Top 8 politics.

Kiki and Krystina are back in the studio with Scheana, and absolutely nothing is off limits. From friendship drama and fashion emergencies to the latest headlines rocking the VPR universe, the trio dives headfirst into the week's biggest stories—including Brittany Cartwright finally breaking her silence on ex Jax's affair with their shared publicist, Lori, Jax's eyebrow-raising "Smartwater campaign," and Tom Sandoval's court filing that exposed his "tiny penis." They also take a thoughtful moment to discuss the recent Perez Hilton situation, social media's obsession with turning real-life crises into content, and where accountability ends and compassion begins.

Then it's onto House of Stassi as they break down the premiere, Katie Maloney's glow-up, and whether Stassi's newest friendship raises questions about the very standards she once famously held others to. Kiki and Krystina also share their perspectives on the changing landscape of Black representation in reality television and whether the industry is taking a step backward. Plus, Scheana responds to comments made about her on House of Stassi, revisits the timeline behind one fractured friendship, and starts wondering if she should start billing storyline fees every time a reality show she doesn't appear on uses her as a plotline. Tune in for all the tea!

This week, Kiki Monique is back in the studio with Scheana, and they're covering everything from The Valley reunion fashions to why Scheana still has absolutely no idea how to navigate Reddit.

They break down the art of reunion glam, share a few hot takes on Brittany Cartwright's much-discussed reunion look, and reveal just how much goes into getting those dresses approved before anyone ever sits on Andy Cohen's couch. Then they revisit the conversation that felt missing from last week's episode with Tom Schwartz, finally unpacking the truth behind the infamous "Vegas kiss," why it's continued to follow Scheana all these years, and the behind-the-scenes circumstances surrounding how it ultimately made its way to television.

They also react to a juicy Bravo & Cocktails blind item that may have slammed the door on any chance of a Scheana and Lala reconciliation...though Scheana does reveal what it would actually take for the friendship to be repaired one day.

Elsewhere, Scheana and Kiki debate whether bedroom mini-fridges are a sign of adulthood or laziness, Kiki shares the unbelievable story of spending her weekend tweezing and duct-taping cactus thorns out of her derriere, and Scheana wonders if becoming a full-fledged cat lady means she's entering her midlife crisis era. Tune in for all that and more on this week's Scheananigans!

This week, Scheana welcomes back her friend & VPR castmate Tom Schwartz for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly heartfelt. The two look back on nearly 20 years of friendship, from the chaos of “Vanderpump Rules” to life after Bravo, and dive into everything happening on “The Valley.” Tom opens up about his relationship with Kiana, where things stand with Katie after their divorce, and why he's approaching friendships—and boundaries—very differently these days. They also tackle the hot topics surrounding his friends Jax and Sandoval, debate the biggest pot stirrers and peacemakers on “The Valley,” and Tom reveals who he believes is the season's most misunderstood cast member, a pick Scheana calls a major hot take. Plus, hear behind-the-scenes stories from iconic Bravo moments, the last truly happy VPR cast trip, and the meme that still cracks Schwartz up every time he sees it. As always, things wrap up with the Jax-hole and Flowers of the Week, and trust us, you won't look at "turtle turners" the same way again.
