Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay is spilling everything in her new book, My Good Side. Not only is she detailing stories about past romances, but she is also taking out some secrets from the Pump Rules vault. I love that!
For instance, Scheana shared that she was demoted for VPR Seasons 8 and 10. However, she still delivered and did her job for less cash. That seems wrong. And now Scheana is revealing the one scene that was scripted in the history of Pump Rules.
Is Vanderpump Rules scripted? Not usually, but on this one occasion…
The scene that was planned out for the Season 9 VPR finale. It was the engagement party weekend for Rachel Leviss and James Kennedy. As you may recall, Scheana and her man, Brock Davies, stole the couple’s thunder by telling everyone else that they were also engaged.
“We absolutely scripted that finale without production or anyone knowing,” Scheana told US Weekly. [Lala Kent and I] had made so much headway and didn’t want to fight at the finale, but we also knew we had a job to do and that this story needed to be told for James and Raquel to finish out the narrative.” She added, “[Lala and I] pulled Ariana [Madix] and Katie [Maloney] aside, and we’re like, ‘OK, we’re going to show up and do our job, but we’re not going to tell production that we’re going to fake a fight.’”
Scheana continued, “That’s where you got the iconic line from Ariana, ‘Babe, I was born cool.’ It was a great scene.” She added, “Production won’t know we did that until this comes out.” Awkward! Thankfully, no more Pump Rules scenes were staged.
“That was a one-off and the only time we faked something. It was desperation over wanting to save our jobs and get another season,” Scheana explained.
Vanderpump Rules is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
