LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: At the recent BravoCon event on Friday night, a panel discussion garnered significant attention when a fan directed a question to Scheana Shay about her relationship with Tom Sandoval and the perceived tension with Ariana Madix.

The fan remarked that it was clear from her "body language" that there was some discomfort.

When the fan pointed out Ariana's apparent discomfort with their closeness, Scheana responded by laughing it off and dismissing any concerns about their friendship.

The context behind this dynamic includes a 15-year friendship between Scheana and Tom Sandoval, which encountered difficulties following his romantic involvement with Raquel Leviss.

Ariana had cautioned Scheana about the potential consequences of maintaining her bond with Tom.

Nevertheless, it was revealed that both Tom and Scheana were spotted hanging out in the same room at an after-party during BravoCon, suggesting the possibility of a reconciliation in their longstanding friendship.

Scheana Shay’s friendship with Tom Sandoval took hit after affair with Raquel Leviss

Scheana Shay and Tom Sandoval, who were once inseparable friends, experienced a turbulent period when it was revealed that Tom had an affair with their co-star, Raquel Leviss.

The scandal placed significant strain on their friendship, creating a divide that appeared nearly irreparable.

Amid their deteriorating relationship, Katie Maloney delivered a strong caution to Scheana, suggesting that if she continued to support Tom, her friendship with Tom's former partner, Ariana Madix, could be at risk.

Nonetheless, time has a way of mending wounds, and it seems that Scheana and Tom's friendship is gradually healing.

Scheana has come to realize that while Tom's actions were regrettable, he was never a bad friend to her. 

Tom expressed, “Of course, I would’ve done things differently, but I can’t really look towards the past. I can only embrace what happened, try to learn from it and go towards the future," regarding his 'Scandoval' situation at BravoCon.
