Los Angeles, CA - The world of 'Vanderpump Rules' is once again shaken by an earthquake, this time with the epicenter in the relationship between Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay. Just months after the 'Scandoval' rocked the entertainment world, a new drama is unfolding, with Scheana Shay's allegedly 'unintentional' 'words' igniting a 'strong reaction' from Ariana Madix.
According to numerous sources close to the situation, the conflict stems from a recent conversation between the two friends, in which Scheana made comments about Ariana's new relationship after breaking up with Tom Sandoval. These comments, while perhaps well-intentioned, were perceived by Ariana as 'insensitive,' 'an invasion of privacy,' and 'disrespectful' of her efforts to move on from the past.
"Ariana felt deeply hurt," a source revealed to Us Weekly. "She has been trying her best to rebuild her life after what happened with Tom, and she doesn't want anyone judging or interfering with her decisions."
The specific 'words' that Scheana said have not been revealed, but many speculate that they relate to Ariana moving on 'too quickly' to a new relationship, or how she is 'handling' the situation with Tom Sandoval. Some sources even suggest that Scheana 'unintentionally' 'defended' Tom, causing Ariana to feel 'betrayed' by her close friend.
"Ariana was very disappointed in Scheana," another source shared with Page Six. "She feels like Scheana doesn't really understand what she's been through, and she doesn't believe that Scheana is truly supporting her."
Following the controversial 'words,' Ariana has reportedly 'cut off contact' with Scheana, at least for the time being. She has unfollowed Scheana on social media and has refused to answer her calls and messages.
"Ariana needs time to think about everything," a friend of Ariana told E! News. "She's not sure if she can forgive Scheana."
On Scheana's side, she has not yet issued any official comment on the matter. However, a source close to Scheana said she is feeling 'remorseful' and 'wants to mend' the relationship with Ariana.
"Scheana never meant to hurt Ariana," the source said. "She just wanted to help, but maybe she went too far."
Can Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay overcome this conflict and salvage their friendship? Or will this be the end of one of the most iconic relationships of 'Vanderpump Rules'? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, fans of 'Vanderpump Rules' are eagerly awaiting the latest episodes to see how this drama will unfold. One thing is certain, 'Vanderpump Rules' remains one of the most controversial and compelling reality TV shows today.
