Scheana Shay says she has “full intention” to attend the Vanderpump Rules reunion in person

Scheana Shay has stated that despite Raquel Leviss’ restraining order against her, she has “full intentions” to attend the Vanderpump Rules reunion in person.

The 37-year-old reality star – who was recently defended by her co-star Kristen Doute – took to her podcast Sheananigans on Saturday and addressed rampant fan speculation that she would not be able to attend the reunion.

Shay announced, “As far as I know, I have every intention of being there in person. I have no say in how this is done logistically – if it’s Zoom.

“We also have another COVID test that we need to do before we meet again. So it’s not my fault at all. I just want to make that very clear.’

The forthcoming VPR meeting was thrown into chaos after Leviss, 28, obtained a restraining order against Shay this week after accusing her of assault, which Scheana has vehemently denied.

Ready to rumble: Scheana Shay, 37, has revealed she has “full intentions” of attending the Vanderpump Rules reunion in person. Shay’s participation in the reunion was questioned after her co-star Raquel Leviss, 28, obtained a restraining order against her this week

Leviss applied for the restraining order after claiming that Shay punched her in the face and gave her a black eye.

She also said Shay pushed her into a crash wall, which allegedly injured the back of her head.

Speaking to Page Six on Wednesday, Scheana’s attorney, Neama Rahmani, claimed Leviss “sabotaged” the reunion by seeking a restraining order.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Leviss and Shay representatives. A Bravo representative declined to comment.

Leviss has been accused of having an affair with her co-star Tom Sandoval, who had a nine-year relationship with Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.

The bombshell cheating scandal has led Shay to allegedly hit Leviss, further fueling the fire of VPR’s explosive Season 10.

The reunion is currently scheduled to tape on March 23, almost a week before a court hearing on Leviss’ restraining order.

Neither Leviss nor Shay can be in the same room during the event, which usually takes on a confrontational atmosphere.

“The current restraining order currently prohibits Scheana from being within 100 meters of Rachel, so they cannot both be physically present at the reunion,” Rahmani continued.

He added that “there’s really no mechanism to change this type of civil restraining order before that [March 29 court] Hearing, so the reunion, at least the face-to-face meeting, is certainly in jeopardy.’

He noted that “Scheana is still unable to communicate with Rachel, either directly or through an intermediary,” seemingly ruling out the possibility of a dramatic confrontation between the two that producers — and viewers — are likely hoping for.

Andy Cohen, who would host the reunion, suggested on his radio show that fans could hear two of the feuding women via solo interview segments, which would allow them to share their side of the story and respond to Raquel’s affair, without communicating directly.

Despite the restraining order issued against her, Shay has denied ever attacking Leviss over Rahmani.

“Scheana Shay never hit Rachel, period,” he told Page Six on March 9, referring to Leviss by her legal first name. “This whole case is a fabrication by a known liar and con artist who betrayed everyone close to her.”

In an apology note shared March 8 for Tom Sandoval’s ex, Ariana Madix, Leviss claimed she was “physically assaulted.” She appeared to be referring to the alleged altercation with Shay, during which she claimed she was slapped in the face.

Last week, Shay joked that the Vanderpump Rules cast would need “cages” when they reunited to keep everyone safe.

Ariana finally broke her silence on the alleged affair on Wednesday, sending her gratitude to her family and close friends.

She especially commended those who gave her the strength to carry on and guided me through my darkest hours. To say I’m devastated and heartbroken is an understatement.”

“However, I know that I am not alone in this. So many of my closest friends are grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels.

“I’m so freaking lucky to have the best support system in the world and I hope I can repay every single person for the love you’ve shown me. What doesn’t kill me, better run.’
