Scheana Shay Shuts Down ‘The Valley’ Casting Buzz!
Scheana Shay is finally setting the record straight about The Valley and The Real Housewives of Orange County. On her podcast, the Vanderpump Rules alum revealed why she won’t be on The Valley season three and addressed Tamra Judge’s RHOC claims.
Scheana Speaks Out on ‘The Valley’ and RHOC
Scheana Shay used her latest Scheananigans podcast episode to hit pause on the chatter surrounding her Bravo future. As she sat down with longtime Bravo producer Alex Baskin, the Vanderpump Rules alum opened up about why she won’t appear on The Valley season three, denied Tamra Judge’s suggestion that she’s angling for The Real Housewives of Orange County, and revealed how she feels about missing out.
“For anyone hoping that I would be joining the cast of The Valley, I’m sorry to disappoint you this season. And for those of you who were very vocal about not wanting me to join the show, don’t worry. I’m sure I will find some other way to disappoint you. So stay tuned,”
She confirmed she “has not signed on” for the show’s third season.
Alex Baskin: Scheana Got a “Compelling Offer”
Alex Baskin didn’t hide the fact that Bravo executives were interested. He told listeners his team “definitely had serious conversations” about Scheana’s potential role and even extended a “compelling offer” for her to join.
While that may be true, Jason made an important point during Up and Adam!’s weekly Hot Messy Topics livestream: Lisa Vanderpump is an executive producer on The Valley. Given her EP status, it’s likely Lisa would have had the final say on whether Scheana actually joined the cast for season three.
The Bottom Line
Scheana Shay’s comments, paired with Jason’s insight about Lisa Vanderpump’s behind-the-scenes role, paint a clearer picture of how casting decisions on The Valley are made. It looks like Scheana’s storylines will stay off the spinoff for now, but Bravo fans shouldn’t count her out entirely.

I’m sure Sheana received an offer for friend role and turned it down as it made her look desperate and thirsty. Right now, Sheana is on her alienation tour, and it’s a bad look.
Her words were half the story; the rest lies in her omissions.
I agree with Jason’s insight.
