“Wednesday filming was beyond the most emotionally draining day I have ever had in 11 seasons ofVanderpump Rules,” Shay said. “My eyelashes hurt from how much I cried that day, my contacts were dry, I was congested, I felt weak in every way possible.”
She recalled that their conversation during the retreat was “not easy” because of their longtime friendship and what had happened last season, and seemingly went on to addressfan criticism after Sandoval was featuredin her Instagram last week.
“I don’t like what he did to Ariana obviously,” she said. “Him and I have had a really long friendship so everyone always [says], ‘Oh Scheana the flip-flopper, Scheana needs to have loyalty,’ and losing a friendship of that long has obviously been a struggle.”
“But Team Ariana,” she added. “She’s my girl.”

“I don’t know why I feel the need to defend taking a photo with my hand like this,” Shay said in a video in bed with costarLala Kent, who was also part of the Lake Tahoe trip.
“People are so stupid. It still blows my mind that people still don’t realize we’re filming a show. And it was that girl’s birthday!” Kent responded. “What are we gonna say? Like, no?”
“We’re in a group, we’re all here,” Shay explained. “We hopped in a photo, you know what, I happened to be standing where I was standing. We take photos with strangers every f—ing day.”
