This season on RHOC, Katie Ginella claimed that Scheana’s friend Gretchen Rossi accused Tamra of drugging her in the past. In response, Tamra pointed fingers at Scheana for stirring up the drama. Scheana, however, denied these allegations, leading to a back-and-forth exchange of jabs on their podcasts.
During BravoCon 2025, Scheana alleged that while Tamra criticized her in interviews, she expressed affection in private, whispering her love in an elevator. Scheana further hinted that Tamra might be nearing a “psychotic break.”
On her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod, Tamra recounted, “Scheana Shay had plenty to say about me. She accused me of nearing a psychotic break, yet in the elevator, I told her, ‘I love you.’”
“Scheana Shay had a lot to say about me,” shared Tamra on Two Ts in a Pod. “She said that I was on the verge of a psychotic break, but in the elevator I whispered to her, ‘I love you.’”
“Did you?” asked co-host Dolores Catania.
“[Scheana’s] door opened up and I saw her, and she was just giving me like a death stare. She was just like staring at me,” said Tamra. “And I go, ‘love you’ – being sarcastic.”
At a BravoCon panel, Tamra played a game called “On the Spot” – where stars were asked shady questions.
Tamra was asked to name the ‘thirstiest’ Real Housewife. When Tamra said Stacey, the audience booed her.
“They are booing you!” Stacey clapped back. “They’re booing you, boo. They’re booing you. Listen to the people. You better choose somebody else.”
Tamra responded, “I would’ve chosen Scheana, but she’s not a Housewife.”
In the same episode, Reza Farahan named Kyle Richards as the “most overrated Bravolebrity at this current moment.”
“I said it before and I’ll say it again. Kyle Richards is the most overrated Housewife of all time! I’m sorry!” he expressed, via Decider.
Kyle’s good friend Erika Jayne reacted, “I love Kyle. I think she is important to Beverly Hills. I love you, but I hate that you feel that way. But I get it. Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. I get it. I just feel differently.”
Stacey herself was then asked to share her ‘rudest’ encounter during BravoCon.
“Do I have to tell the truth? … Kyle,” Stacey answered. “I was so excited to meet her, and she was less than gracious. It’s the truth. I have to tell the truth.”
At a later panel, Kyle reacted to Stacey’s claim.
“I have not seen [RHOP] since she’s been on, so I don’t know why that would offend her,” said Kyle. “There are times people have said to me, ‘I’m sorry, I haven’t seen the show. I didn’t know.’ I’m not offended by that. It’s OK. I don’t know why she’s offended by that.”
“I just looked at a picture of her to make sure,” she added. “She’s beautiful. I do love that show, but I haven’t seen it in a while.”
