Scheana Shay is denying that she punched Raquel Leviss in the face over her affair with Tom Sandoval, according to a strongly-worded statement released by her lawyer.
Just minutes ago (Thursday, March 9), Scheana’s attorneys called BS on Raquel’s claims, denying the alleged altercation took place as she described it in her petition for a temporary restraining order.
“This case is a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her. Scheana never punched Raquel, period,” her attorney, Neama Rahmani, exclusively told Us Weekly in a statement. “The supposed dark markings around her left eye have been there for months.”
“Neither Scheana nor other cast members want anything to do with Raquel going forward,” the statement reads. “The judge has only heard a one-sided account of what happened, and we look forward to presenting the full and true story at the March 29 hearing.”

As previously reported, Raquel Leviss released a statement following the news she has been having an affair with her Vanderpump Rules co-star Tom Sandoval in what fans are now calling Scandoval, revealing that she has started counseling to end what she describes as an “unhealthy behavioral cycle.”
This was all before she filed for a temporary restraining order after Scheana Shay allegedly punched Raquel in the face following their taping of Watch What Happens Live on March 1 after reportedly uncovering news of the affair.
Record ratings
The news seems to be paying off for Bravo as the series earned record ratings on Wednesday night.
As previously reported, Episode 5 jumped to a massive 0.35 in the P18-49 demo and 879,000 viewers, making this the highest-rated episode of Pump Rules Season 10 according to just-released numbers. This is up quite a bit from last week’s season low (0.24 / 648,000) and the highest-rated episode for the series since Part 3 of the Season 8 reunion back in 2020 (0.36 / 1,055,000), meaning this week’s episode out-rated all of Season 9.
Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays on Bravo.
