A visceral reaction. Scheana Shay revealed her initial response while watching footage of Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval in the Vanderpump Rules finale trailer after their affair was made public.
“I was physically shaking. I was just texting as fast as I [could about it]. I was, like, ‘Oh, my God, her smirk,’” Scheana, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, May 3, while promoting her partnership with Smirnoff for their Locura Tour in celebration of the new Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind.
The “Good as Gold” artist claimed Raquel, 28, made the same expression when she broke the news about her affair with Tom, 40, after the women appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen together in March.
“The night in New York [when she told me] — after she grabbed my wrist — I had to get her away from me because it was that same look and smirk,” she recalled. “It was just, like, ‘Oops, I got caught. My bad.’ [And there was] no remorse.”
Scheana’s friendship with the model took a turn after Us confirmed Tom’s split from Ariana Madix in March due to his infidelity. Amid the drama, Raquel filed an order of protection against the former SUR waitress and alleged a physical altercation occurred following their joint appearance on Andy Cohen‘s talk show.

“No, [Raquel has no remorse about the situation],” she told Us before noting that she felt differently about the TomTom co-owner. “I know he absolutely has a lot of regrets.
