Scheana Shay admits she’s not at a ‘healthy weight’ from ‘stress’

Scheana Shay admits that she lost an “unhealthy” amount of weight due to “stress and anxiety” caused by Scandoval.

During Friday’s episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast, the “Vanderpump Rules” star confessed to nutritionist Lauren Hubert that she recently fell back into bad habits despite being in a good place following the birth of her daughter Summer, almost 2.

“Ever since I had the baby, I tried not to weigh myself all the time because I didn’t want to get so fixated on the number,” the 38-year-old explained. “And then the last two months of my life have just been insane, there’s been a lot going on that has affected my appetite and working out habits recently and I’ve lost more weight.”

Although Shay rarely weighs herself, she decided to “pull out the scale” the other day just to see where she was at.

“But I stepped on it and I was like, ‘OK, time to up the food and up the weights,’” she said. “I don’t want to be in the 1-0s because I don’t think that is a healthy weight for me. And it shows what stress and anxiety does to your body.”

Yet given the timing of her dramatic transformation, many people have accused Shay of taking Ozempic, a Bravolebrity-loved weight loss drug.

“I’ve had people ask me currently if I’m on that and absolutely not. Wouldn’t do it. Not for me,” she said.

The “VPR” star continued, “I have other friends who — I don’t want to name names — who have made some jokes about it like, ‘Well, after my next baby I’ll just get on Ozempic.’ And I am like, ‘I don’t think that is what it’s there for?’”

The overwhelming stress seems to have started at the beginning of the year after news broke that Tom Sandoval had cheated on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with co-star Raquel Leviss.

Shay — who was close to all three of them at the time — has since severed ties with Leviss and Sandoval, yet she still has to film the upcoming season with the latter.

In fact, the ex-friends were forced to share an intimate meditation session during the “Vanderpump Rules” cast trip to Lake Tahoe last month.

A few days later the mother of one revealed that the situation “was very uncomfortable” but joked that it will make for “good TV.”

“Wednesday filming was beyond the most emotionally draining day I have ever had in 11 seasons of ‘Vanderpump Rules,’” Shay said during an Amazon Live. “My eyelashes hurt from how much I cried that day, my contacts were dry, I was congested, I felt weak in every way possible.”

While she didn’t divulge what led her to tears, she reminded fans that she and Sandoval, 41, had a decade-long friendship before the scandal.

“I don’t like what he did to Ariana obviously,” she continued. “Him and I have had a really long friendship so everyone always [says], ‘Oh Scheana the flip-flopper, Scheana needs to have loyalty,’ and losing a friendship of that long has obviously been a struggle.”

 In order to seemingly prove her loyalty to Madix, Shay has acted as a keyboard warrior in recent weeks while defending her fellow co-stars amid speculation that they are going too easy on the wannabe rocker.

“NO one knows what’s actually happening in this group right now other than US!” she wrote under a fan page Friday. “Nothing is fake in this group and people are definitely paying for their actions.”
