Scheana Shay reveals ‘red flags,’ ‘first sign’ of Tom and Raquel’s affair

Reality TV

“Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay noticed at least two “red flags” before Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ months-long affair was exposed.

“There were a lot of red flags that watching back the show now, I’m like, ‘How did I miss the signs? How did I not see that? How could I allow someone so evil into my home?’” Shay told her co-star Lala Kent in Friday’s episode of her Dear Media podcast, “Scheananigans.”

The “Good as Gold” singer shared that she first “started to think” something may have been going on between her castmates when Leviss attended a Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras concert in Roseville, Calif. — a roughly six-hour drive from her North Hollywood apartment — on Nov. 10 but did not post about it on social media.

Kent, 32, agreed and recalled teasing Shay, 37, about Leviss’ intentions at the time.

“Babe, I remember when I told you that. … That was the first time I could see the wheels going,” she said. “You were like, ‘Wait, that is weird.’”

Kent told listeners that she later warned Shay that “if the smallest chance [of her] believes this is true,” she needed to “prepare to never be friends with them again.”

“It’s so crazy, because from that, then I started seeing things,” Shay reflected.

The second red flag was Leviss, 28, no longer sharing her location on her iPhone with her friends.

“I noticed her location was off when I just went to see if she made it home safe one night because she didn’t respond to my text,” Shay remembered. “I’m like, ‘Hey, home safe?’ No response. I’m like, ‘Let me just check. Hmm, location not loading, not available, not available. Like, that’s weird. She must not have service.’”

Kent added that it felt “weird when [Leviss] shared her location for such a long time and then turns it off.”

Elsewhere in the podcast episode, Shay detailed her and Leviss’ heated confrontation when she learned about the affair after they appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” together on March 1.

“My hands ended up on her after she grabbed my wrist,” she admitted. “No, I did not punch her.”

Shay added that she felt “enraged” when Leviss had “not one tear in her eye” and was “just standing there” even as she and Sandoval’s then-girlfriend of nearly 10 years, Ariana Madix, were both “sobbing.”

“That’s how she was that night. It was like, ‘Oops, I slept with him for seven months. My bad,’” she claimed.

Shay also teased that Leviss showed “no remorse” during the Season 10 reunion taping last week either.

“She actually smiled,” Kent added.
