‘Vanderpump Rules’ fans slam ‘fake’ Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay for hanging out with Tom Sandoval

Reality TV

Tom Schwartz and Scheana Shay are coming under fire for seeming a little too friendly with disgraced “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Tom Sandoval.

The trio – along with Lala Kent, James Kennedy, Ally Lewber and Brock Davies – are currently on a cast trip in Lake Tahoe, Calif., where filming has resumed for Season 11 of the hit Bravo series.

Sandoval’s voice could slightly be heard in the background of a video shared via Shay’s Instagram Stories Tuesday, in which the group laughed while making their way to Lisa Vanderpump’s new restaurant, Wolf.

Naturally, many fans weren’t happy over how “friendly” they seemed to be with Sandoval – so shortly after he cheated on their pal Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss.

“Is that Sandoval’s voice??? All is forgiven, I guess,” one fan account captioned the clip, referencing his now-infamous affair with Leviss.

“this gonna piss me off if they’re all gonna be kumbaya after that whole reunion,” one person commented, while another wrote, “And if all is forgiven, I won’t be watching Vanderpump Rules.”

Other fans suggested that their sizable paychecks from the reality TV network played a factor in their reunion with the disgraced bar owner.

“Money talks. They banked from this affair. Wouldn’t surprise me if they all made up,” a third viewer wrote.

Another chimed in, “At least Katie & Ariana stayed away! Scheana is so fake,” referring to Katie Maloney and Madix, who remained in Los Angeles with Stassi Schroeder.

Earlier in the day, Kent, 32, subtly revealed Sandoval, 41, was on the trip when she shared a video of herself in a one-piece swimsuit.

“Everyone is in a couple. The Toms [Sandoval and Schwartz], Brock and Scheana and these little love birds,” Kent said as she panned over to Kennedy, 31, and Lewber, 27,

“It is a good thing we have the MILF and I am OK with it.”

Shay previously claimed she had no interest in filming with Sandoval or 28-year-old Leviss, who is still in contract negotiations with Bravo.

“I can picture [us filming together] because I’ve had to picture it. That’s the name of the game. But I can’t envision what type of event that would be at. It would have to be something Lisa Vanderpump hosts,” she told Us Weekly in May.

“[Because] they’re not getting invited to any birthday parties, that’s for sure.”

Meanwhile, Madix, 38, said she had “nothing to say” to the pair when asked whether she was “open to filming with” them.

“Our show is very real and follows a real group of friends, and neither of them are in the group of friends, so, good luck,” she told the New York Times.

Since cameras began rolling, fans have spotted Sandoval crying alone outside the “Vanderpump Rules” home base, SUR, and getting into a heated exchange with Shay.

News broke in March that Madix had dumped Sandoval after nine years together upon discovering his months-long affair with Leviss.

The former pageant queen checked herself into a mental health facility the following month, after filming the extremely contentious three-part reunion.
