Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay Denies Punching "Liar and a Cheat" Raquel Leviss

Scheana Shay's lawyer is speaking out, after Vanderpump Rules' Raquel Leviss claimed in a restraining order request that Scheana punched her in the face amid the aftermath of Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix's breakup.

"This case is a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her," Scheana's attorney Neama Rahmani said in a statement on March 9, one day after Raquel was granted a temporary restraining order against her co-star. "Scheana never punched Rachel, period."

According to court documents, Raquel (born Rachel) said that Scheana's alleged attack—which she says took place around 1:30 a.m. on March 2, after they were on Watch What Happens Live March 1—left her with a "black eye and cut/scar to left eyebrow, blurred vision & swelling to left eye."

But Scheana's lawyer denies such markings came from her client. "The supposed dark markings around her left eye have been there for months," the attorney said. "Neither Scheana nor other cast members want anything to do with Rachel going forward."
