Things are going to messy during The Valley season 3 — according to the cast’s panel during BravoCon 2025, that is.
Danny Booko, Nia Booko, Luke Broderick, Brittany Cartwright, Jason Caperna, Janet Caperna, Kristen Doute, Jasmine Goode, Jesse Lally, Michelle Saniei and Zack Wickham took the stage on Friday, November 14, bringing with them some major news. According to the OG crew, Vanderpump Rules alums Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz are joining the cast.
The most shocking revelation, however, is news that fellow VPR alum Scheana Shay would not appear on the show.
Lala told panel host Danny Pellegrino that she did not want to discuss what was going down between her and Schena. (Scheana previously claimed her and Lala’s falling out stemmed from the revelation that Scheana’s husband Brock Davies had an affair in 2021.)
Tom also had no intentions of talking about the Scheana of it all. Kristen, meanwhile, let it slip that there was a conversation with Scheana and The Valley producers, adding that her former Vanderpump costar “decided not to” film.
“That’s on her,” Kristen added.
As for who on the show’s cast is still close with Scheana, Michelle said Scheana is “focusing on her marriage and herself right now,” while Jasmine made it clear that she is also close to the former VPR star. Scheana was also photographed arriving at BravoCon on Friday, so things might be getting even messier (if that’s possible).

Who Watches ‘VPR’?

While some things never change, the cast of Vanderpump Rules is used to a shake-up … and a touch-up. Vanderpump Rules was introduced to Bravo viewers during a special episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in January 2013. Season 1 starred Lisa Vanderpump, Stassi Schroeder, Scheana Shay, Jax Taylor, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval […]

“I feel like I’m under a love spell right now and it’s a good place to be,” he added. “I got the rose-colored lenses on.”
Despite the Lala and Tom rumors, she made it clear that she would “eat this man alive.” Lala did say she has so much fun flirting with him, though.
