Scheana Shay<\/strong><\/a> hinted that there\u2019s more to the story after fans slammed the Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a>\u00a0cast for hugging Tom Sandoval <\/strong><\/a>in recent beach photos.<\/p>\n \u201cAll these people saying they aren\u2019t gonna watch the season from photos that have been coming out \u2026 like come on!\u201d Scheana, 38, replied via Instagram on Friday, August 11<\/a>, on a fan account showing Lala Kent<\/strong><\/a> embracing Sandoval, 41, on the sand. \u201cHow about you WATCH the damn show and see HOW all these photos happened!\u201d<\/p>\n Scheana added: \u201cNO one knows what\u2019s actually happening in this group right now other than US! Nothing is fake in this group and people are definitely paying for their actions.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pump Rules<\/em> cast, which began filming season 11 in June<\/a>, has reunited on several occasions since the explosive season 10 reunion special aired in May. During the reunion, Scheana and Lala, 32, as well as the rest of their costars slammed Sandoval for his affair with Raquel Leviss<\/strong><\/a>. (Us Weekly<\/em> confirmed in March that Sandoval and Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> split after nine years together in the wake of him cheating on her with Leviss<\/a>, 28.)<\/p>\n While some fans were intrigued by the beach snap, other viewers questioned the seemingly nice interaction between Lala and Sandoval.<\/p>\n \u201c@scheana if Ariana hugged Randall [Emmett]<\/strong><\/a>, no matter the circumstances, it would be WWIII,\u201d one user wrote in the comments section of PumpRules<\/em>\u2019 Instagram post<\/a>, referring to Lala\u2019s ex-fianc\u00e9, Emmett, with whom she shares daughter Ocean<\/a>, 2. \u201cI get y\u2019all have a lot of history, but when does loyalty take precedence over a paycheck?\u201d<\/p>\n Scheana clapped back at the loyalty quip, telling the user, \u201cAriana was there. Watch the season is all I\u2019m going to say.\u201d<\/p>\n When a separate follower revealed they were \u201cextremely confused\u201d by the picture<\/a> from the L.A. beach, Scheana teased, \u201cThat\u2019s great! Be confused. Watch the season and make your judgements then. One photo does not define everything we have filmed, I promise you that.\u201d<\/p>\n A third fan claimed the season 10 reunion was \u201ctoo much for most normal people\u201d and questioned how Scheana \u201cwould want\u201d her 2-year-old daughter, Summer<\/a>, to \u201csee that when she is old enough to understand how people should act.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe reunion happened only a few weeks AFTER all of this was news to us. How did you expect them to act when it was so fresh!?\u201d Scheana fired back in the comments.<\/p>\n Despite defending her castmate\u2019s decision to film with Sandoval<\/a> after he mistreated Ariana, 38, Scheana previously admitted that shooting season 11 has been tough.<\/p>\n \u201cWe went to Tahoe, it was all filmed for season 11. Ariana and Katie [Maloney]<\/strong><\/a> did not come, but Tom Sandoval did. There was one day [that was] beyond the most emotionally draining day I have ever had in 11 seasons of Vanderpump Rules<\/em>,\u201d Scheana confessed during an Amazon Live<\/a> last month. \u201cNo joke, my eyelashes hurt from how much I cried that day. My contacts were dry and I was congested. I felt weak in every way possible. 11 seasons and that day got me the most.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier in July, Scheana made headlines for a photo she took with the cast<\/a>, including Sandoval. While fans slammed her for the group shot, Ariana came to Scheana\u2019s defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sign up for Us Weekly’s free, daily newsletter<\/a> and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201c@Scheana is an amazing friend who took a photo with a fan for their birthday. There\u2019s been so many mean comments towards her for it and she was just doing something nice,\u201d Ariana wrote in an Instagram Stories post at the time<\/a>. \u201cWe always try to stop for photos and when the whole cast is present, it\u2019s common for the whole cast to be in the photo regardless of what is going on between any of us at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Scheana](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Scheana-Shay-Claps-Back-at-Pump-Rules-Fans-Saying-They-Won-t-Watch-After-Tom-Sandoval-Hugging-Photos-258.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
