Drama Unveiled: Katie Snubbed At Scheana's Wedding

Katie Maloney was not invited to Scheana Shay's wedding due to a feud between the two. Maloney had expressed that she did not want to attend the wedding because of the role Shay played in the Tom Schwartz-Raquel Leviss drama. Shay was also considering disinviting Maloney because of the way she was lashing out at her. Maloney had also blamed Shay for Leviss and Schwartz's hookup, which happened at Shay's wedding. Maloney was also seen screaming at her ex-husband Schwartz and Leviss after she caught them making out.

Katie didn't want to go because of Scheana's involvement in the Tom Schwartz-Raquel Leviss drama

Katie Maloney's absence from Scheana Shay's wedding was a result of ongoing drama between the two. Maloney had expressed that she didn't want to attend the wedding due to Scheana's involvement in the Tom Schwartz-Raquel Leviss drama.

Maloney blamed Scheana for putting the idea in Leviss' head about hooking up with her then-husband, Tom Schwartz. This incident caused a strain in their relationship, with Maloney choosing to exclude Scheana from her girls' trip and Scheana subsequently removing Maloney from her wedding guest list.

The drama escalated when Maloney decided to travel to Mexico, where the wedding was taking place, and stay at the same resort, despite knowing it would cause tension. Maloney's actions, including bringing a friend along and refusing to give up her hotel reservation, led to a confrontation with Scheana, who expressed her desire for Maloney not to attend the wedding due to her "negative energy."

Maloney's decision to skip the wedding seems to be a combination of her own discomfort with Scheana's involvement in the Tom Schwartz-Raquel Leviss drama and the escalating tension between the two, fueled by their mutual exclusion of each other from their respective trips.

Scheana considered disinviting Katie because of the way she was lashing out at her

Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney's feud came to a head in the lead-up to Scheana's wedding to Brock Davies in 2022. The drama began when Maloney blamed Shay for putting the idea into Raquel Leviss' head about hooking up with Maloney's ex-husband, Tom Schwartz. Shay had been encouraging Leviss and Schwartz to date, as noted on her Scheananigans podcast. Maloney was also unhappy with Shay's involvement in the Tom Schwartz-Raquel Leviss drama.

Maloney did not want to invite Shay to her girls' trip, which she planned in light of her divorce. Maloney invited Ariana Madix, Lala Kent, and Raquel Leviss, but not Scheana Shay. Maloney also did not want to attend Shay's wedding. However, she had already booked a hotel room at the same resort in Mexico where the wedding was taking place, and she refused to back down. She also brought a friend, Kristina Kelly, with her. Maloney refused Shay's offer to buy the reservation from her.

Shay considered disinviting Maloney because of the way she was lashing out at her. Maloney's behaviour included "screaming" at Schwartz and Leviss when she caught them making out at the wedding. Maloney also threw subtle shade at Shay on Instagram, pointing out that Shay had used the same officiant at her wedding to Davies as she had at her previous wedding to Mike Shay. Maloney later apologised for this comment.

Katie booked a hotel room for the same weekend as the wedding, staying at the same resort

Katie Maloney was not invited to Scheana Shay's wedding due to a feud between the two. Maloney had expressed that she didn't want to attend the wedding because of the role Shay played in the Tom Schwartz-Raquel Leviss drama. Shay was also considering disinviting Maloney because of the way she was lashing out at her. Maloney had also previously blamed Leviss' interest in Schwartz on Shay, saying that Leviss was "the human equivalent of cotton candy", implying that she was easily influenced by Shay.

Maloney ultimately decided to travel to Mexico for the same weekend as the wedding, staying at the same resort. She spent $1,000 on a hotel room and brought Kristina Kelly with her, even though this meant that one of Shay's bridesmaids would have to stay elsewhere due to a booking issue. Maloney refused to budge on the issue, stating that it wasn't her problem that the bridesmaid hadn't booked her room on time.

Shay asked Maloney to stay at a different resort, saying that she didn't want Maloney's "negative energy" at her wedding. She even offered to buy Maloney's hotel reservation from her, but Maloney refused.

Scheana didn't want Katie's negative energy at her wedding

Scheana Shay did not want Katie Maloney at her wedding because she believed Maloney would bring "negative energy" to her special day. The drama between the two Vanderpump Rules cast members began when Maloney blamed Shay for Raquel Leviss and Maloney's ex-husband Tom Schwartz getting together. Maloney accused Shay of putting the idea in Leviss' head, while Shay denied this and claimed that Maloney had given her blessing.

In the lead-up to the wedding, Maloney expressed that she did not want to attend because of the role Shay played in the Leviss-Schwartz drama. Shay, in turn, considered disinviting Maloney because of the way she was lashing out at her. Maloney had also previously said she didn't want Shay at her girls' trip, as a result of what happened. Maloney went ahead and booked a trip to Mexico for the same weekend as the wedding, staying at the same resort. When Shay asked Maloney not to come to the wedding, Maloney refused and brought a friend along with her.

The drama escalated when Maloney and Shay came face-to-face at a group pool party. Shay told Maloney, "You don’t want to be in Mexico to support Brock and I. If you still want a vacation, have a vacation, I’m not disinviting you from doing that. It’s just, stay at a different resort." She added that she didn't want Maloney's "negative energy" at her wedding. Maloney refused to leave and the situation worsened when Schwartz called Maloney "emotionally entitled," causing her to storm out of the party in tears.

Katie screamed at Tom and Raquel for making out at the wedding

Katie Maloney skipped Scheana Shay's wedding, travelling to Mexico with her friend Kristina Kelly instead. This was due to a feud between the two Vanderpump Rules cast members, which was solidified by a hotel snafu. Maloney had already expressed that she didn't want to go to the wedding because of the role Shay played in the Tom Schwartz–Raquel Leviss drama.

Maloney and Shay's feud began when Shay encouraged Leviss to make out with Maloney's then-husband, Tom Schwartz. Maloney blamed the drama on Shay, saying that Leviss was "the human equivalent of cotton candy", implying that Shay was a master manipulator. Maloney also accused Shay of outing her hook-ups and dates to Schwartz.

Maloney's anger towards Shay and Leviss continued at the wedding, where she screamed at Leviss and Schwartz for making out. Maloney's rage towards her ex-husband was also fuelled by the fact that he had been unfaithful to her multiple times during their marriage, and she had felt that he had chosen his bar, Schwartz & Sandy's, over her.
