The Daily Dish Vanderpump Rules

Scheana Shay Once Had the Most Jersey Run-In with The Real Housewives of New Jersey

It happened on a night filled with drama.

How Scheana Shay Became Friends with The Real Housewives of New Jersey

The Vanderpump Rules crew doesn't just kick it with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, thanks to SUR boss Lisa Vanderpump also being a proud member of the 90210 squad. Sometimes the SURvers find themselves crossing paths with Housewives from all the way across the country, and in Scheana Shay's case, it can turn out to be a beautiful thing. 

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Scheana recently revealed to The Daily Dish that she became a fan of The Real Housewives of New Jersey after one fateful night in which she met the entire Garden State crew several years ago. "After getting to know them personally, I was much more interested in watching the show because I was like, 'That's my friend! They're the ones who were nice to me,'" Scheana said. "But I love that show. It's very family-oriented yet still filled with a ton of drama."


Yes, Scheana still keeps in touch with Teresa Giudice (with whom she shares a makeup artist, Priscilla DiStasio) and Melissa Gorga these days, but the first time she met these Garden State gals was filled with drama — namely between Scheana and her fellow SURvers. In fact, the RHONJ crew was responsible for completely turning Scheana's night around, even if Scheana said she didn't recognize them at first. Find out how, complete with Scheana's adorable impersonation of Joe Gorga, in the above video.
