"During the time of filming, I definitely was not aware of a lot of the things that were being said behind my back," she said on the March 12 episode of Andy Cohen's talk show Watch What Happens Live. "I love Scheana dearly, but a lot of things that were said are very hurtful. It's hard to pinpoint something; it's just kind of like this general attitude toward me that I've been seeing that's [been] pretty hurtful."

If you are hooked on Season 14, you're most probably nodding together with Ariana's remarks. In the March 12 episode, Scheana spills the tea on how she's grappling with Ariana snagging a place on Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars.

"It was kind of a punch to the gut, for sure," she confesses, later seeking to make sense of her conflicting emotions. "I am so happy for her, but it's like, I can be happy for her and sad for me at the same time," Scheana explains. "And I mean, good for her, she has come such a long way from being my backup dancer."

Scheana throws colour at Ariana for raking in "millions" after #Scandoval.

To make things worse, Scheana Shay still harbors a cushy spot for her previous good friend and Ariana's slimy ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval. Things get emotional all over a group meditation session when Scheana opens up to Tom about no longer being ready to forgive and fail to remember his movements. Tears waft as they mirror on the demise of their as soon as tight-knit friendship.

Scheana even meets with Lisa Vanderpump and opens up about feeling like she's "going through the stages of grief" with Sandoval. Lisa probes further, asking if Scheana worries about upsetting Ariana via reconnecting with Sandoval. Scheana's response is telling: "It's just hard when I tried to tell her how I'm feeling when it comes to Sandoval. She literally said, 'I don't want to hear about it.'"

In a confessional, Scheana admits feeling shut out by Ariana, lamenting, "I've done everything I can to be ride or die for Ariana, but is it not enough still? I’m afraid to express how I feel because it's not about me. It's never been about me. It's only about her, so I'm struggling with having any conversation with her lately because I feel like I'm not valid in my feelings."

Meanwhile, Ariana frets about shedding her place in the pal group if Sandoval is welcomed again with open hands. She shares her considerations, disclosing, "I mean, I'm trying to be compassionate. But I also know that Scheana is very easily walked all over."

"He knows that Scheana is the easiest route to go to try to get people back in his corner," Ariana adds. "And he knows that if he can get Scheana to come around, Lala [Kent] to come around, James [Kennedy], and then Ally [Lewber], then he can ice me out of the friend group."

During a chat with the ladies, Scheana emphasizes that she's mourning the loss of her friendship with Sandoval. She admits, "I'm finally, five months later, going through an actual grieving process. Ariana has already grieved the loss of this. Making millions of dollars and living her best f--king life. I'm not there."

Katie Maloney will get riled up after listening to Scheana's viewpoint, feeling she's no longer being a good friend to Ariana. Katie expresses her frustration, pronouncing she doesn't have "any sympathy" for Sandoval.

In a confessional, Katie urges Scheana to wake up and see the situation clearly: "I wish Scheana would just wake the f--k up, look at the situation for what it really is," she states. "Sandoval never really gave a f--k about your friendship. Cut ties, move on, be a good friend of Ariana."
