AceShowbiz - Amid the cast changes and unexpected departures, the stars of "Vanderpump Rules" are grappling with shifting alliances and evolving friendships. On a recent episode of "Scheananigans" podcast, Scheana Shay and Lala Kent made it clear that they have no desire to rekindle connections with ex-cast members, following Bravo's announcement of a surprising cast overhaul.

"I don't think I will change anything that I have been [doing]," Shay, 39, shared, noting that despite the lack of filming, she maintains occasional contact with a few former castmates like Ariana Madix. Shay emphasized, "I'm just going to continue on the same path I'm on and excited for new adventures."

Echoing similar sentiments, Kent stated, "I've got my circle right where I want it to be," and she's content without re-establishing contact with other cast members.

Season 11 has indeed set the stage for high tensions, particularly following Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix's highly publicized split due to Sandoval's affair with Rachel "Raquel" Leviss. While Madix gained support from nearly all of her co-stars, Sandoval found himself isolated, with only Tom Schwartz by his side.

However, Madix's refusal to film with Sandoval was met with criticism by Kent, given the couple's breakup had become the center of attention on the show.

Kent shared insights into her current relationships on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen". She hasn't spoken to Madix since the Season 11 reunion. "We don't speak. She's killing it and I'm thrilled about it. And I mean it!" she said, expressing genuine happiness for Madix's achievements including "DWTS" stint post-breakup.

Kent also provided updates on her relationships with other castmates, revealing that while she doesn't speak much with Sandoval, she is on good terms with Tom Schwartz and remains besties with Scheana Shay.

The off-screen drama extends beyond the main cast. Kent's podcast co-host Jessica Walter recently left the show under murky circumstances. While Kent wished Walter well, the departure seemed fraught with unspoken tensions.

Shay weighed in on the topic, defending Kent by stating, "Lala is a boss b*tch and anyone would be lucky to work for her." As always, Shay's supportive stance reveals the complexities of maintaining friendships within the high-stakes world of reality TV.

The latest season of "Vanderpump Rules" promises more surprising twists and unfiltered drama, as the cast and viewers alike brace for what comes next.
