Putting a plan in place. Scheana Shay denied hitting Vanderpump Rules costar Raquel Leviss, but her lawyer is ready to go should the case go to trial.“If it happens, we’re certainly going to present evidence in our argument that those discolorations predated this alleged assault,” Neama Rahmani exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 22. “I mean, they’ve been there for months, so we intend to put in evidence that Raquel’s alleged black eyes weren’t really black eyes at all.”Earlier this month, the former pageant queen, 28, filed for an order of protection against Shay, 37, claiming that the “Good as Gold” songstress got physical with her after a March 1 taping of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

The Bravo personalities allegedly had a confrontation after Leviss confessed to her affair with costar Tom Sandoval, who was previously in a relationship with Ariana Madix.The “Scheananigans” podcast host subsequently denied her costar’s allegations, calling the case “a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat.” A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, March 29, to determine whether the order will be made permanent.“Scheana fully intends to oppose it and she intends to win,” Rahmani told Us, noting that “a lot may happen” between this week and next. “It’s really up to Raquel if she intends to move forward next week.
