Tonight on Vanderpump Rules the intervention for 29-year-old Mike Shay continues after his close friends learn that he has a significant drug and alcohol problem. Wife Scheana Marie Shay, 30 claims that she did not know when she married Mike that he had been struggling with this.
Ultimately Scheana delivers an ultimatum to Mike. She said this in her Bravo blog,
“Bravotv.com: We see you being really supportive of Shay and trying everything in your power to get him back in the right track, including bringing Sandoval over to teach you guys how to eat healthier, drug tests, and even giving him the ultimatum of choosing pills or your marriage. How does it feel to have Shay struggling like this? Do you feel like your support is helping turn his life around?
SS: Seeing Shay go through this struggle really killed me. I’m the type of person who always wants everything to be happy and perfect and when it’s not, I don’t know what to do. I try and always stay positive and look to the future and I think those are some of the things that helped Shay get back on track. I never meant to come off in a way that looked like I was encouraging bad behavior from him (i.e. get buzzed, smoke weed).”
“I was A: trying to make light of a very heavy situation while staying positive and B: I don’t want to be Shay’s mother. I’m his wife. I don’t want to tell him what he can and can’t do. Shay had a problem with pills. He addressed that and has been clean of them for almost a year now. There was a time in the summer when I worried he may relapse, but it didn’t happen!”
Shay lost 2 family members in one day in June. Scheana feared that the tragic sudden loss would cause him to relapse.
“I am glad we had that scare though because it’s forced us to deal with things that were swept under the rug and I think I’m an even better wife now because of it. Shay’s voice needed to be heard more and I needed to listen.”
She does admit that Shay is still drinking,
“He’s since cut back on drinking quite a bit, but hasn’t stopped completely. If he ever chooses to, he will continue to have my full support. We are married now. It’s not the same as when we first started dating and were super into going out and drinking. I’m over that. Although I may have said I couldn’t “date” someone who is completely sober, I wasn’t referring to my current marriage to Shay.”
“That is completely different. Initially, when I was single in my early 20s, I may not have gotten in a relationship and dated someone who was sober because that wasn’t my lifestyle. Nothing wrong with it at all, just wasn’t a fit for me. Things change. People grow. I would 100% support that decision and go sober myself to stand by Shay if that’s what he chooses!”
