‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Scheana Shay Unleashes Scandoval-Inspired Song

Scandoval continues to live on.
Vanderpump Rules favorite Scheana Shay released a new song called “Apples” on Friday (Aug. 18), and based on the scathing lyrics, it seems like she got inspiration from her friendship breakups after Tom Sandoval cheated on his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with her best friend, Raquel Leviss. For “Apples,” Scheana teamed up with Kevin Franklin and Landis Daniels of the band The 27s.
“I was with you on your worst day/You stabbed me in the worst way/How you gonna lie to my face?/And you said that we would always be friends/Party on the weekend/But then you’re gone without a trace,” Scheana sings in the mid-tempo pop-rock track. “I thought you were grateful/I found out you’re fake though/I hope there’s a place for friends like you.”
“I haven’t used music as an outlet to express my feelings in a really long time, so getting back into the studio and making this song with The 27s has been freeing and cathartic,” Scheana told Rolling Stone. “Plus, the hook is a great way to teach your toddler how to spell APPLES.”
Scheana has been close friends with Madix for more than 10 years, and naturally became friends with Sandoval while they were dating. Leviss was also in Scheana’s friend group, but after learning of the cheating scandal, their friendship abruptly ended as Scheana took Madix’s side. She was with Leviss in New York when she learned about the affair from Madix, and an alleged physical altercation took place that eventually prompted Leviss to file a restraining order. The restraining order was officially dismissed on March 29, according to People.
“Apples” follows a string of sporadic singles by Scheana, including 2012’s “What I Like,” 2013’s “Good as Gold” and 2014’s “Shake That.”
