Show Notes
From putting Tribeca on the map to putting her foot in her mouth, RHONY star Jessel Taank has never been one to shy away from a little controversy! This week, the British-Indian fashionista joins Scheana to dish on the latest drama in the Big Apple, including her fallout with Erin, unexpected friendship with Sai, and whether she regrets suggesting a fellow Housewife's flooded Hamptons home was an insurance job. She also addresses getting off on the wrong foot with Carole/Carrie/Carolyn, reveals which castmate she'd trust to babysit her twins, and crowns the current queen of RHONY.
Beyond the Bravo drama, Jessel opens up about her upbringing in London, her impressive fashion career, and how embracing her Indian heritage inspired her latest business venture. Plus, how did a childhood diary seemingly predict her future in New York, her career in fashion, AND the birth of her twin boys? Jessel gets candid about her IVF journey, the boundaries of sharing personal struggles on reality television, and what it's really like being married to everyone's favorite food influencer, Pavit. From designer wardrobes to rent-stabilized apartments, Scheana puts Jessel through a round of RHONY superlatives that might just ruffle a few feathers. Turns out, Jessel isn't necessarily being a bitch — sometimes she's just being British!

More from Scheananigans with Scheana Shay
Dorinda Medley has made it nice, been put on pause, and now she's pressing play on a whole new chapter! The RHONY icon joins Scheana to talk about her return to reality TV on E!'s The Golden Life, addresses speculation that she joined the show following Jill Zarin's ousting, and explains why she's enjoying her freedom a little too much to settle down again (unless he's handy around the house).
What happens when a Disney darling trades her squeaky-clean image for a tell-all? Christy Carlson Romano joins Scheana to spill on her revealing new memoir, Once Upon a Trainwreck, and let's just say, Ren Stevens had a MUCH wilder life off camera!
This week’s episode comes with scares of all varieties. Scheana and Kiki Monique recap their weekend bouncing between LA’s haunted attractions, where Kiki discovered she is extremely easy prey, and Scheana’s loyalty to Brock and Kiki lasted exactly until security got involved.
Scheana is solo this week and opening up the mailbag for another AMA—because apparently, you guys really do want to know everything. Is she joining The Valley? Would she ever do a “House of Scheana”-style reality show? And when it comes to all the chatter from familiar faces in the VPR extended universe, which former friend does Scheana learn recently unfollowed her, and which former castmate does she admit she has muted on social media? She’s also answering questions about friendship fallouts, setting boundaries, and whether Kristen may have been right about a few people all along. At home, are she and Brock still doing their one-minute daily kiss from the white board, has the dynamic between Brock and her mom changed, and how is Summer adjusting to kindergarten—and already juggling two boyfriends? Plus, Scheana talks motherhood and OCD and weighs in on the rumors surrounding Channing Tatum’s alleged burner account, which naturally leads back to his alleged former roommate, Jax Taylor…or should we say Frank Dremon? Nothing is off the table…although that doesn’t necessarily mean every question is getting the answer you expect.
Scheana is joined in the studio again this week by Kiki Monique, and she’s brought along the fabulous, funny & unfiltered Chanel Ayan! Chanel catches Scheana up on why her son may be flying coach indefinitely (& why Jesse from The Valley might be responsible for that), how only getting eight hours of sleep somehow qualifies as exhaustion in Chanel’s world, and what we should make of her dream that Scheana is pregnant with triplets.
