‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Scheana Shay Reveals Tom Sandoval Had Affair With Billie Lee

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Scheana Shay Reveals Tom Sandoval Had Affair With Billie Lee

Vanderpump Rules alum, Billie Lee, remained in Tom Sandoval’s corner after he was busted in a cheating scandal — and Scheana Shay believes that there’s more to the story. 

Fans know that Tom Sandoval was caught cheating on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with Raquel Leviss, and while most of the cast rallied around Ariana, Billie Lee, the first transgender to appear on the show,  defended her friendship with Sandoval.  

Last month, Billie wrote that Ariana wasn’t the only person “hurting,” after she was blasted for sticking up for Sandoval.

“Tom and Ariana are my family, they have been there for me over the years and I wouldn’t be where I’m am today without them,” Billie wrote on Instagram. 

The Bravo alum, who shut down the post’s comment section, continued — “It saddens me that people are so fixated on picking a side. Both are human and are both hurting in their own ways. I’m allowed to be friends with one of my best friends who made a mistake while still holding him accountable and not commending what he did, anything else is extremely immature.”

Billie went on — “There is a world where you can support and be there for both parties and that’s the world I choose to live in.”

The former SUR server concluded — “Ariana seems to be in a way better place, I’m so happy that she is moving on and Tom is really working hard on himself. I’ll continue to love and support them, unconditionally.”

Sandoval appeared to admit in a Pump Rules finale teaser that he had cheated on Ariana before, and the confession seemingly struck a chord with Scheana. 

Scheana and Peter Madrigal floated a theory that something romantic went down between Sandoval and Billie “back in the day,” during a recent episode of Scheana’s podcast, “Scheananigans.”

“I kinda think something maybe did happen with him [Sandoval] and Billie back in the day. And they just made a pact, you know, to not tell anyone,” Scheana said.

Scheana added — “Because why would they [tell anyone]? That would f**k up the relationship and friendship and their lives, as it just did with Rachel.”

Peter cosigned Scheana’s rationale, commenting — “You know what, now that I look back on everything, yeah, I think that definitely happened.”

Billie recently hinted that she had spent time with the bar owner when she posted a photo of Ariana’s dog on her Instagram Stories. Sandoval and Ariana shared a home together before the affair was exposed.  

Ariana Madix reportedly unfollowed Billie, despite the former Bravo star speaking out in support of “both parties.” Billie was hit with backlash after she was spotted at a West Hollywood event with the musician, last month. Photographers snapped Billie arriving at Sandoval’s Valley Village home he still shared with his ex, around 10 pm. The duo went on to have drinks at a local bar. 

Paparazzi snapped Billie leaving Sandoval’s home the next morning, wearing the same clothes as the previous night. A tipster told Page Six that the pair are just friends, despite the dicey optics.

Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
