Scheana Shay claims that while Lala Kent confronted her and the Vanderpump Rules cast about what they may have been keeping from her in regard to the inappropriate behavior of her former fiancé, Randall Emmett, at the season nine reunion, she had previously shut down any talk about the television and film producer.
In an interview ahead of the two-part reunion, Scheana said she believes both James Kennedy and Kristen Doute came forward with information about Randall.
“I think James [Kennedy] and Kristen [Doute] had said that they had heard things years ago. But at that time, if anyone who had heard anything would’ve brought that to Lala, she would’ve shut it down,” Scheana told Us Weekly on January 24. “She says, ‘Now I wish people came to me.’ But at the same time, if people did come to her then and she didn’t shut it down and she did leave him, she wouldn’t have Ocean.”
Lala welcomed daughter Ocean with Randall in March of last year, just eight months before she allegedly caught him cheating and moved out of their Bel-Air home.
Although Lala believes her castmates should have told her what they heard about her ex-fiancé, Scheana pointed out that it’s hard to decipher what’s true and what’s false when it comes to online rumors, especially considering that most of the cast has faced “bullsh-t” claims about their partners at one point or another.
“I remember sitting with [Ariana Madix] one night and she gets a message on her phone that was, like, ‘I was with your man [Tom Sandoval] last night.’ And she’s like, ‘Really? Because we were watching a movie in bed,’” Scheana recalled. “So people say things like that all of the time that I think anything anyone had heard, they just dismissed because they thought it was bullsh-t.”
While filming the reunion special in December, Lala told her co-stars that Randall’s supposed “creeping” should have been “brought to [her] attention” and admitted to feeling disgusted by his behavior. But, as viewers saw in a sneak peek, Scheana responded by giving a nod to Lala’s claim that Randall was a “standup man” compared to her own fiancé, Brock Davies, who she repeatedly criticized for failing to see his children, who live in Australia, and falling behind on child support.
Scheana went on to say that James, who recently said he’d “never say never” to a reconciliation, isn’t Lala’s type and noted that she has someone different in mind when it comes to her co-star’s future love life.
“I have a very good man who was interested in her when the time is right. So I can’t wait to hopefully play matchmaker,” she explained.
