Scheana Shay reveals the story behind Tom Schwartz’s kiss in Vegas

It almost stayed in Vegas.

Scheana Shay and Tom Schwartz each shared their side of the story after Schwartz revealed that they kissed in Las Vegas in 2013 while he was dating Katie Maloney.

“Everyone’s cheated. We’ve all cheated, like, everyone’s done stupid s––t. I cheated, I was a makeout slut, [I] made out with Scheana like 12 years ago in Vegas,” Schwartz told Lala Kent while trying to defend Tom Sandoval on Tuesday’s episode of “Vanderpump Rules.”

Kent, 33, immediately gasped as Schwartz, 41, further said that “no one even knows that.”

“It was so long ago. It was like the most innocuous thing ever, but I’m just saying, we’ve all, like, we’ve all done [stuff],” Schwartz explained.

When Kent asked for details, he claimed that he did “not know” exactly when it happened, but it was “somewhere in Vegas.”

“Me and Katie were dating, but it was like a rocky moment,” he admitted.

Schwartz later took to his confessional to say he shared the news because he wanted it to serve as a “reminder [that] we’re all human, [and] we all do dumb s–t sometimes.”

“It just popped into my head the other day. Sometime late last year, [Scheana and I] were at a party around the holidays, and she’s like, ‘Do you remember when we made out?’ And I was like, ‘We did make out, right? We kinda made out?”

Kent argued that a makeout would mean that Shay “dabbled” in the realm of cheating, since she was engaged to now ex-husband, Mike Shay, and Schwartz was dating Maloney.

“Scheana and I have gotten extremely close. We’ve become each other’s vaults, and it just seems strange to me that at no point in time was she like, ‘Girl, I gotta tell you something. I gotta spill some tea.’ Like, what?” Kent wondered in her own confessional.

Kent then asked Schwartz if he ever told his now ex-wife, to which he said he did “not know if I told Katie.”

Later in the episode, Kent took it upon herself to spill the news to Maloney, 37, and after she told her, Maloney looked shocked.

“What the actual f–k? Like are you kidding me? I just have so many questions –– like when was this? And where exactly was this? And was this the time that Schwartz said he went to Vegas and made out with one of Scheana’s friends, and was it actually in fact Scheana?” Maloney said in a confessional, referring to Schwartz admitting to making out with someone in Las Vegas in 2013.

Shortly afterwards, the entire cast had a night out at Hotel Ziggy in West Hollywood, and Maloney pulled Shay, 38, aside to ask her about the alleged makeout.

“What happened was, me and Ariana [Madix] were there with my mom and my sister for her cheer competition in like f–king high school, and Schwartz pulls me in the corner and kisses me,” a stunned Shay claimed.

Shay recalled that it happened right around the time she got engaged to Mike Shay, which would’ve been in the summer of 2013.

“Saying somebody tried to kiss somebody versus making out is like a different thing,” Maloney pointed out.

However, Shay doubled down that it was not a makeout like Schwartz described.

“We did not, that was not, nope, nope, no, no, that was not a makeout, no, no, no,” Shay argued.

Shay then claimed that the person who she “was making out with on that trip” was Madix.

“I wanted to pretend like this never happened. I never told [Mike] Shay, I never told my mom, I never told my best friends. I mean also, I would never have told Katie, especially back then, because like the bitch is scary,” Shay said in a confessional.

“I mean, this was peak tequila Katie hates Scheana days, there’s no way in hell I was gonna be like, ‘By the way, your man wanted me in Vegas, and he kissed me,’ like, no! Never!” she continued, referring to Maloney’s old nickname that she inherited after she would drunkenly argue with people.

Maloney then asked Shay why the two of them were recently “joking about it” like Schwartz claimed.

“I may have made a comment like, ‘Oh well, yeah, you’re a makeout whore, like, you tried with me once,” Shay explained.

Maloney emphasized that what made her upset about the revelation was that Shay withheld this information while she was a bridesmaid and involved in Maloney and Schwartz’s wedding.

“It’s like, this never came up at all? I would assume Tom, oh yeah he’s been in talks with like a million girls, but I was like a broken person. I was a shell my self-confidence and my self-worth was like next to nothing,” Maloney shared.

Shay explained that she “never” would’ve told Maloney, because she didn’t want to “hurt [her] more.”

“I wanted you guys to work out, I wanted this to be Schwartz did this in his past, and he f–ked up, but you guys got married, and you had your happily ever after. I wanted to be apart of that day,” she said.

Maloney –– who filed for divorce from Schwartz in March 2022 –– ended the conversation by telling Shay that she wishes she “would’ve known.”

“I would’ve expected something like this from Schwartz, but Scheana’s had literal years to tell me about this,” Maloney said in a confessional. “I don’t like liars and especially lying by omission. It just makes me wonder if I’ll ever be able to really fully trust or be close to Scheana.”

“Vanderpump Rules” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.

‘Scream 2’ star mocked for ‘bitching’ about his low residuals from 1997 film

wp content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2026%2F06%2F131333405

Your favorite scary movie isn’t raking in the residuals.

After “Scream 2” star Craig Shoemaker took to Instagram to share that he received $34.09 for his part in the 1997 horror movie, fans flocked to the comment section to call him out.

“So you had a bit part in one sequel of a multi-movie franchise a quarter-century ago. Not sure if you rage baiting or legit bitching,” one follower commented beneath the post.

Shoemaker, 61, replied, “How about none of the above, and the rage inside of you is the only baiting? Lol.”

“Better than nothing,” another social media user added. “Would a better negotiating change that? Cause you were a day player.”

“It’s said with humor, and nothing else. If you don’t get it, then move on,” Shoemaker clapped back.

Others found the humor in Shoemaker’s post, with one fan chiming in, “Now now now…don’t get crazy…that’s $34 before taxes taken out. Soooo $25 bucks?”

“S–t,” the actor responded. “I didn’t think about that. I’m down to a hotdog and a lemonade now.”

“In 1997 I was cast in the role of the film professor in the sequel of the original Scream movie, Scream 2, where I lead a conversation in class about film sequels,” Shoemaker originally wrote on Tuesday alongside a shot of the letter.

“The residuals keep rolling in, baby! What should I buy with my 34 bucks?” he teased.

“Scream” premiered in 1996 and starred Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy.

The sequel hit theaters a year later in 1997 and followed Sidney Prescott (Campbell) at college.

Along with Campbell, the cast included Arquette, Cox, Kennedy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Laurie Metcalf, Jerry O’Connell, Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett Smith and Liev Schreiber.

Shoemaker is listed as having played “Artsy Teacher” in the film, according to IMDb.

In 2022, Campbell, 52, decided to walk away from the franchise’s sixth movie due to a salary dispute.

“Sadly, I won’t be making the next ‘Scream’ film,” she said in a statement to Page Six at the time.

“As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream.’”

The franchise made headlines once again in 2023 after Melissa Barrera was fired from “Scream 7” following a series of comments about the Israel-Hamas war.

Jenna Ortega, who starred in 2022’s “Scream” and 2023’s “Scream VI,” with Barrera, 35, revealed she also exited the franchise.

Ulrich, 56, meanwhile, confirmed to The Post that he was supposed to be in “Scream 7″ — despite dying in the first movie — until Barrera was axed.

The actress played his on-screen daughter in the films.

However, nearly 30 years after the iconic slasher franchise first debuted, most of OG cast reunited for “Scream 7,” which premiered this past February.

Campbell and Cox made a comeback alongside Lillard, 56, and Arquette, 54 — despite their character’s being killed off. Metcalf, 71, and Scott Foley also reprised their roles from past films.

The film marked frequent “Scream” creator/writer Kevin Williamson’s first time directing, following the 2015 death of Wes Craven, who directed the first four films in the franchise. Williamson took over after Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who directed the 2022 and 2023 installments, exited.

“Oh, it’s been awesome [to return],” he gushed to The Post last summer. “I’ve always been on the fringes of the last few ‘Scream’ movies, as sort of the granddaddy of the franchise.”

‘Widow’s Bay’ Season 1 ended with a wild plot twist

wp content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2026%2F06%2Fwidows bay ending

Down by the bay…

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched the “Widows Bay” Season 1 finale, “We Hope You Enjoyed Your Time!”

In the Season 1 finale of Apple’s buzzy horror/ comedy, “Widow’s Bay,” the frazzled mayor, Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) tried to kill Ruth (K Callan) – only to get thrown with a plot twist. She confessed that she was secretly his late wife’s mother, which meant that his son, Evan (Kingston Rumi Southwick) was her grandson.

This was a big deal because it meant that Evan was the island founder Richard Warren’s (Hamish Linklater) last living descendant.

As set up in the previous episode, the whole reason why Tom tried to axe Ruth was that killing the last of Richard Warren’s bloodline would break the curse on the island, and save everyone.

In the Season 1 finale, Tom went to Ruth’s house during a storm and tried to kill her twice – first by crushing pills and putting powder in her tea, then by nearly smothering her with a pillow when he thought she was napping on her couch.

Tom was conflicted, and kept muttering to Ruth, “you’re a good person, you don’t deserve this.”

A friendly Ruth seemed oblivious to his murder attempts. She was having a blast, giving him a tour of her house and yapping about her herb garden.

She eventually confessed to Tom that she once had an affair with a married man, had a baby, and let the man and his wife raise the child. Her secret kid was Tom’s late wife, she revealed. An astounded Tom confirmed with Ruth that nobody else knew this information.

Elsewhere in the episode, the town gathered in a shelter as a dangerous storm raged. Patricia (Kate O’Flynn) and Wyck (Stephen Root) were in charge. Things spiraled into chaos when everyone discovered that their stores of food were moldy. The crowd started panicking and fighting.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Bechir (Kevin Carroll) was appalled to learn that he and his pregnant wife were trapped on the island, because of the storm – and, her due date came early.

Bechir didn’t want his kid to be born into the curse on the island, so he showed up at Ruth’s house with a gun and shot her.

“I won’t damn my child. Patricia said you’d be ending it,” he said to Tom, referring to ending the curse by killing Ruth. Bechir added that he came to Ruth’s house because he knew that Tom “wouldn’t” do it.

Tom told Bechir that Ruth wasn’t the last living descendant, and Bechir held Tom at gunpoint, demanding to know who was. Before Tom could say anything, the storm then cleared up.

So, seemingly, everything was okay. Ruth was wounded and bleeding, but appeared to be still alive. The episode ended with Tom driving off in his car with Evan.

But, he noticed the sound of a bell – signifying that not enough people got fed to the island, and more people will need to be offered as tribute.

That’s where “Widows Bay” ended, going into Season 2.

The Season 1 finale was more serious than the rest of the season, but the shift in tone worked. Tom spent most of the episode agonizing over his choice to try to kill a sweet old lady.

Rhy’s performance was stellar as always, as Tom unravelled – if he doesn’t get nominated at the Emmys and Golden Globes, it will be a ridiculous snub.

There were still plenty of laughs, like when Ruth was going through her photo album, and pointing out which men had “made a pass at her.” She also told Tom that she loved one of her ex boyfriends, until, “He got bit by an animal, and became that animal.” The show remains delightfully weird.

The Apple horror comedy has been the word-of mouth hit of the summer.

“It’s become one of those shows everyone’s talking about, and we’re thrilled to see audiences continue to embrace it,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming, Apple TV, said in a statement announcing Season 2.

Horror king Guillermo del Toro himself also publicly praised the show, posting on X that it, “may very well be the best streaming series in a long time” and called it, “mesmerizing.”

“Season two is about how everything is great on the island and there’s nothing to worry about,” creator Katie Dippold joked in Apple’s statement announcing the renewal.

Season 2 doesn’t have a premiere date yet.
