It’s all happening.
Scheana Shay is thankful for the support she’s been getting after “Vanderpump Rules” editor Bri Dellinger confessed — on two now-deleted podcast episodes — that she went out of her way to embarrass the reality star while Bravo worked to portray Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark as “special heroes.”
“Bravo has advised Scheana not to address this topic, but she has seen a lot of the online support — even from some of her harshest critics — and it means a great deal to her,” a source told Page Six on Tuesday. “She’s received several messages and calls from cast members, many of whom are working behind the scenes to ensure that Bravo and production don’t just sweep this under the rug.”
On Twitter, fans of the show expressed support for Shay with the hashtag “#JusticeForScheana.”
The source was not aware if Shay, 35, has heard from Lisa Vanderpump about the revelations yet. The SUR boss has remained noticeably silent on the issue via social media as well.
The restaurateur, 59, may want to speak up soon, as a separate source noted that Shay and the rest of the cast are contemplating a return for a ninth season if the show is renewed.
“This situation has forced many of the cast members to reassess what their futures on ‘Vanderpump Rules’ might look like,” they said. “Bri made it clear that Bravo is only interested in the Stassi and Beau show, which is fine, but that’s not the same show that Tom, Jax, Katie, Kristen and Scheana signed up for. They’re all hoping to get some guidance from Bravo sooner than later and simply firing the editor who blew the whistle on these issues will not suffice.”
It is unclear if Dellinger was fired after the podcasts were released and subsequently deleted. In them, she admitted to taking pains to humiliate the “Good as Gold” singer via selective editing — boasting, among other shocking statements: “If Scheana knows what’s good for her, she’d befriend me because my favorite game is finding all the embarrassing things that Scheana does and putting them all in.”
Bravo has not commented on the matter yet.
