Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay celebrated Jeremy’s birthday without Ariana Madix and opened up about the event on social media.
During the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 reunion, close friends Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix have not been seeing eye to eye on their friendship.
After addressing many controversial moments from Season 11 throughout the reunion, now VPR viewers are wondering where the friends currently stand. This is pressing, especially after Scheana just celebrated Ariana’s brother Jeremy Madix’s birthday, without her. But, Scheana is insisting that nothing is wrong between them.

Scheana took to her Instagram Story earlier this week, where she posted a video of her celebrating Jeremy’s birthday dinner with her husband, Brock Davies, their daughter, Summer Moon Honey Davies, Jeremy’s fiancé, Rachael, and other friends. In the video, Scheana filmed around the table, capturing everyone singing to “Happy Birthday” to him.
Most notably absent was Ariana, who could not be seen in Scheana’s Instagram Story. Although Scheana and Jeremy’s friendship might come as a surprise to some, Scheana and Jeremy are very close, with Scheana throwing him and his new fiancé an engagement celebration in early April.

Some of Scheana’s followers noticed Ariana’s absence, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to question Scheana’s intentions by posting that video. One follower wondered if Scheana purposefully showed the entire table to point out that Ariana wasn’t there. But, Scheana quickly shut this down and insisted she wasn’t being shady.
“Def reading too much into it lol,” she replied. “I was simply showing my daughter singing and his fiancé.”
Are Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix still friends?
In a preview for Part 3 of the VPR reunion, as seen in the video above, Brock came to his wife’s defense about why she felt so strongly about maintaining a friendship with Ariana’s ex, Tom Sandoval. Brock noted that Scheana has been on the outs with a lot of people in the friend group at the reunion, and both Tom and Ariana have been there for her all along.
“What you’re saying about Scheana’s journey in this group is absolutely true, but I have been in her corner and supported her from Day 1 with that,” Ariana said. “Obviously, this year was a little more difficult for us.”
