Scheana Shay: ‘Pump Rules’ reunion needs cages, bodyguards amid Scandoval

Reality TV

Scheana Shay is gearing up — literally — to film the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 10 reunion.

The Bravolebrity shared her thoughts on the upcoming special with co-star Lala Kent and show alum Kristen Doute in Friday’s episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast, predicting that things could get heated over Scandoval.

“We need to have cages,” Shay, 37, said. “Everyone needs their own personal bodyguard because oof.”

Kent, 32, agreed, adding that “security will definitely be amped up.”

At this time, it’s unclear whether Doute, 40, will be in attendance; however, Page Six can confirm she returned to shoot a few scenes after cameras picked back up to document the fallout of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss.

Doute famously dated Sandoval, also 40, before he began his almost-10-year relationship with Ariana Madix.

However, Madix, 37, dumped the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner last week after finding out he had been cheating on her with Leviss, 28, for months.

Madix was in West Hollywood, Calif., watching Sandoval’s cover band perform on March 1 when she discovered a sexually explicit video of the former beauty pageant queen on his phone.

Madix then called Leviss, who was in New York City with Shay.

“After taping ‘Watch What Happens Live,’ Scheana and Raquel went out to drinks with friends,” an insider previously told Page Six.

“At one point in the night, Scheana lost Raquel and then found her outside of the bar on the phone with Ariana, who Scheana could hear was bawling.”

When Shay asked the SUR server to explain what was going on, she finally came clean about the affair, leading to “a heated confrontation” before both women “went back to the hotel separately.”

Earlier this week, Leviss filed for a temporary restraining order against Shay, claiming the “Good as Gold” singer had punched her in the face during their spat.

Leviss went on to share shocking images of her alleged injuries, including a bruised eye and cut atop her eyebrow.

In response, Shay’s attorney branded Leviss — whose real name is Rachel — “a known liar and a cheat” for claiming his client had physically attacked her.

“Scheana never punched Rachel, period,” Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told us Thursday, noting that Leviss “has betrayed everyone close to her.”

Confirming our report that no one in the “Pump Rules” cast is talking to Leviss after her dalliance with Sandoval first made headlines on March 3, Rahmani added, “Neither Scheana nor other cast members want anything to do with Rachel going forward.”

The attorney believes the judge “has only heard a one-sided account” of the alleged altercation and is “look[ing] forward to presenting the full and true story at the March 29 hearing.”

A rep for Leviss did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Meanwhile, Lisa Vanderpump believes Shay did hit Leviss in defense of Madix, who had been dating Sandoval since 2014.

“I think she slapped her around the chops,” the gang’s boss told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” Wednesday, pointing out that Leviss and Madix have been “best friend[s] for like 12 years.”

Cohen — who moderates the reunions — admitted he is unsure about whether both Shay and Leviss will be able to attend, noting that the special is scheduled to film before the end of the month.
