Dayna Kathan admitted that one particular storyline she was involved with on Vanderpump Rules was completely fake during a Reddit AMA with Katie Maloney on Tuesday.
As she shaded Scheana Shay, 40, for confronting her with a medium on season eight, and Katie, 38, opened up about her most emotional moment and Tom Schwartz‘s suspicious disappearance in Mexico on season seven, Dayna, 34, looked back on a completely fabricated storyline on the series.
“What can you tell us was fake from your season?” a fan on the Reddit thread asked on June 17, as seen in a screenshot shared by Vanderpod Recaps on Instagram.
“The entire storyline of how I was introduced to the group and working [at] SUR to support standup comedy. I had a high powered corporate job when I started filming and they made me work at SUR to have a way to fit me into the group,” Dayna revealed.
Another person asked Dayna about the “ridiculous” moment in which Scheana surprised her with a medium to talk to her mother.
“Yeah, that was unhinged,” Dayna agreed. “What people don’t know is behind closed doors I very specifically told her I was not ready for that. I found out the night before because Janet spilled the beans and I was furious. I don’t know how that scene would have played out had I not known. That was never something I was going to do on camera and without my sister and she knew that.”
“Bad judgment call on her part,” Dayna added.
The same person wanted to know which Pump Rules scene caused Katie to have her “biggest emotional reaction.”
“Finding out that Tom and [Rachel ‘Raquel’ Leviss] kissed in Mexico,” Katie replied.
A third person asked Katie about what really happened when Schwartz, 42, went missing in Mexico.
“He was not off buying drugs or cheating lol,” Katie began, proceeding to explain her now-ex-husband‘s innocent mixup.
“He walked far enough down the beach and didn’t realize he had entered another hotel property,” she shared. “He asked a maintenance person for help finding his room and they informed [him] that was the next resort over…”
A fourth fan wondered what percentage of their lives Dayna and Katie felt Pump Rules accurately depicted.
“It’s pretty damn accurate,” the responded in a joint answer. “Real friendships, real relationships, real places we lived. I feel like you got the real picture just not the full picture. Nuance is paramount to fully getting the scope but where’s the drama with that?”
Vanderpump Rules is expected to return to Bravo later this year with an all-new cast for season 12.
