Scheana Shay shared how Jax Taylor met rumored flame Paige Woolen and revealed her history with the IG personality on the latest episode of her podcast.
While also addressing the “WTF” comment she left on a photo of Brittany Cartwright, 35, with publicist Lori Krebs, who Jax, 44, was rumored to have cheated with, the 39-year-old Vanderpump Rules star explained how Paige, 32, was introduced to The Valley cast member and reacted to Paige joking that she’s “pregnant.”
“Apparently, Paige’s dad won a round of golf at some charity event, to play a round of golf with Jax. And then, he was like, ‘Oh, you should meet my daughter,’” Scheana revealed on the May 31 episode of Scheananigans. “When I heard that the dad introduced her to Jax … I was like, ‘Okay.’ It was interesting.”
As for how she met Paige, Scheana actually welcomed her to her podcast years ago — before her introduction to Jax.
“She was on my podcast years a few years ago … She was pitched as a guest from Action Park Media, who I used to be with, because she has an Instagram account called Dudes in the DMs … They were like, ‘You don’t have a guest for next week. Do you want to have Paige Woolen on?’ And I was like, ‘Sure. Whatever.’ [I had] no idea who she was. So I just want to put that out there. It’s not like she was like a friend of mine,” she explained.
Following an alleged three-hour date between Jax and Paige at the end of last month, the rumored couple attended a birthday celebration for Jeremy Madix at Jax and Brittany’s bar, Jax’s Studio City, where Paige jokingly proclaimed, “I’m pregnant.”
“This sense of humor that you think you have is not going to fly in this group with this audience. There’s nothing funny about what you said,” Scheana said in response, adding that Brittany, who announced her separation from Jax in February, “was really upset this weekend because of that.”
Moving on to her “WTF” comment, Scheana doubled down on her shock.
“When that post was sent to me, that was the text I sent my friend … And I’m like, ‘I think I need to go comment that,’ because it was just like, ‘Huh?’ I love Brittany. She is one of my closest, dearest friends … [But] Lori next to her, I was like, ‘What the f*ck?’ I was so confused. So I stand by that,” she stated.
When Scheana’s co-host then asked if she had more insider details regarding the dynamic between Brittany and Lori, who hung out after rumors linked her to Jax — and after Brittany unfollowed her on Instagram — Scheana confirmed she did.
“I didn’t think we’d ever see [Lori] again,” she noted.
Scheana went on to say that Zack Wickham, one of Brittany’s closest friends, called her about the comment, denied the rumors about Jax and Lori, and asked for the comment to be taken down. However, Scheana refused.
“That’s how I feel and I feel like it’s not my story to get into the details to share. That is hopefully something Jax and Brittany maybe discuss on their podcast because I think a lot of people are thinking, ‘[What the f*ck]?’” she explained.
Scheana also got a text from Lori, asking her not to speak of her publicly.
“If you want to live a private life and you have a husband or an ex-husband, two kids, a baby daddy, at home that you’re trying to protect, maybe don’t parade yourself on red carpets with your clients, maybe don’t be feeding them shots down their throats at events, which I’ve witnessed,” she advised. “Lori, I think, even filmed some of The Valley with them this season. You fully inserted yourself in this world, so if you put yourself in it, then you have to take what comes with it.”
