A visceral reaction. Scheana Shay<\/strong><\/a> revealed her initial response while watching footage of Raquel Leviss<\/strong><\/a> and Tom Sandoval<\/strong> <\/a>in the Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a> finale trailer after their affair was made public.<\/p>\n \u201cI was physically shaking. I was just texting as fast as I [could about it]. I was, like, \u2018Oh, my God, her smirk,\u2019\u201d Scheana, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Wednesday, May 3, while promoting her partnership with Smirnoff for their Locura Tour in celebration of the new Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind.<\/p>\n The \u201cGood as Gold\u201d artist claimed Raquel, 28, made the same expression when she broke the news<\/a> about her affair with Tom, 40, after the women appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/em> together in March.<\/p>\n \u201cThe night in New York [when she told me] \u2014 after she grabbed my wrist \u2014 I had to get her away from me because it was that same look and smirk,\u201d she recalled. \u201cIt was just, like, \u2018Oops, I got caught. My bad.\u2019 [And there was] no remorse.\u201d<\/p>\n Scheana\u2019s friendship with the model took a turn<\/a> after Us<\/em> confirmed Tom\u2019s split from Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> in March due to his infidelity. Amid the drama, Raquel filed an order of protection<\/a> against the former SUR waitress and alleged a physical altercation occurred<\/a> following their joint appearance on Andy Cohen<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s talk show.<\/p>\n The charges were ultimately dropped, and Scheana later admitted she shoved Raquel<\/a> out of shock but denied punching her costar<\/a>. Following the scandal, Scheana weighed in on whether she thinks Raquel and Tom regret the harm they caused Ariana<\/a>, 37, through their affair.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, [Raquel has no remorse about the situation],\u201d she told Us<\/em> before noting that she felt differently about the TomTom co-owner<\/a>. \u201cI know he absolutely has a lot of regrets. I don\u2019t know how much you\u2019ll see in our [onscreen] conversation, but also then we have a whole reunion. But she was, like, sociopathic. It was very bizarre to just see someone cry so hard over a pageant and not ruining their best friend\u2019s relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cScheananigans\u201d podcast host went on to call out Tom for how he addressed his relationship issues with Ariana<\/a> after their breakup. (The Missouri native recently claimed he attempted to pull the plug on his romance with Ariana<\/a> before his cheating scandal came to light.)<\/p>\n \u201cI think he could have handled everything a lot better. It\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re in fight or flight mode? Maybe you should have just chosen flight and crawled into a hole until this passed.\u2019 Let\u2019s not try to double down. Let\u2019s not try to blame Ariana,\u201d the former singer added on Wednesday. \u201cYou\u2019re wrong. End of story. Let all of us heal and if there is another season \u2014 who knows how this is gonna go down \u2014 [then we will see]. I don\u2019t think anyone knows yet.\u201d<\/p>\n While the future of the hit Bravo series is up in the air<\/a>, the California native has ideas about how another season could work while Raquel and Tom are on the outs with their friend group<\/a>. \u201cI can picture [us filming together] because I\u2019ve had to picture it. That\u2019s the name of the game. But I can\u2019t envision what type of event that would be at. It would have to be something Lisa Vanderpump hosts,\u201d she explained. \u201c[Because] they\u2019re not getting invited to any birthday parties, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n As cast and fans alike await news of Vanderpump Rule<\/em>s\u2019 renewal, Scheana has shifted her focus to other ventures, including her partnership with Smirnoff for Cinco de Mayo. The TV personality will be in Chicago on Thursday, May 4, to host a pop-up for the festive holiday \u2014 and treat guests to Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind cocktails.<\/p>\n \u201cIt tastes really good. I\u2019m [also] a sucker for any cute branding. And I loved the decor of this,\u201d Scheana told Us<\/em> of the alcohol brand\u2019s new flavor of vodka<\/a>. \u201cBut then I made a little spicy tamarind [margarita], a skinny version last night, and it was so good. I didn\u2019t even need to add that much to it because the vodka has all of the flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n Scheana teased that fans can \u201ctake [their] celebrations from basic to bold\u201d just in time for Cinco de Mayo with the new Smirnoff flavor<\/a>. \u201cI am not always the tequila girl, so I can always be a vodka girl. I\u2019m never hungover after vodka, and it\u2019s just so good,\u201d she concluded. \u201cI\u2019m really excited for this. I love a spicy drink.\u201d<\/p>\n For more details on Scheana\u2019s partnership with Smirnoff \u2014 and the Chicago Locura Tour event \u2014 click here.<\/a><\/p>\n Vanderpump Rules<\/em> airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
