Katie Maloney is speaking out against Scheana Shay after her former Vanderpump Rules co-star suggested she was “low” for going on Brock Davies‘ wedding trip to Mexico uninvited in an effort to get paid in her newly released book, My Good Side.
As she also called out Scheana, who additionally suggested she was “forgettable,” for shading Ariana Madix, 40, for not reaching out to her after learning Brock had cheated, Katie, 38, denied that she went to Mexico to ensure her episodic paycheck, reminded Scheana, 40, of her past demotion, and demanded she “leave [her name] out of [her] goddamn mouth.”
“I didn’t want to talk about this because at the end of the day, talking about something and saying you don’t care about it is a bit of like an oxymoron. So I don’t want to confuse the fact that I don’t really care, but I also just feel like, you know what? It’s time. It’s f*cking time,” Katie began on the September 10 episode of Disrespectfully.
In addition to noting that she’d been told that Scheana referred to her “as a drunk” throughout her book, Katie said she was put off to learn that Scheana, who now appears on The Valley, had accused her of reaching a new low for a cast member by traveling to Mexico.
“It wasn’t because I [wanted] to get paid or I’d miss out. They were gonna have to film me regardless of whether I was in Mexico. I was paid per episode, so I was getting that episode no matter what,” she clarified.
According to Katie, Scheana had been panicking “for months … because Bravo told her that they were not going to film her wedding.”
“They did not want to film her wedding, but everyone was going. And I know production was freaking out because like, half the cast was gonna be there, and what were they going to do? Were they gonna have to ask some people to stay back?” she recalled.
Because she and Scheana were having drama at the time, producers ultimately decided it would be good for the show to film with Katie in Mexico and sold Bravo on the idea of “two trips.”
Although Katie didn’t want to go and “be around a bunch of people [she] can’t stand,” she was told by a producer that she had to go during the car ride home from Lake Havasu.
“[Lala Kent] was in the car with me when she told me this, if she wants to corroborate,” she noted.
While Katie could have told Scheana this long ago, she didn’t want to betray her producers.
“I am good at my job. I don’t speak about this sh*t. I don’t spoil behind-the-scenes stuff. I don’t make producers’ lives hard. That’s why I’ve never been demoted, unlike Scheana,” she declared.
Moving on to Scheana’s recent appearance on Gia Giudice‘s podcast, Katie slammed her as “b*tchy.”
“I’m forgettable? Go on, girl. I don’t care,” she said. “She was talking about how she wasn’t gonna send me her book. I don’t want your book. You asked me for my address last year to send me some bullsh*t in the mail. I don’t want you to know where I live. I’ve actively put you out of my life on purpose. So please stop talking about me.”
Katie then shaded Scheana for revealing that Ariana never reached out to her after she confirmed Brock’s affair in her book and suggesting she wasn’t there for her when she needed her.
“[Scheana] wanted Ariana to read her mind and just ask her if she was okay. She’s blaming Ariana for not telling her, but then giving her the f*cking third degree,” Katie noted.
