Amid a joint interview with\u00a0Vanderpump Rules\u00a0co-star\u00a0Scheana Shay, 38, who spoke of the\u00a0season 11 reunion\u00a0and her potential role on a future season of\u00a0The Valley, Katie, 37, suggested an opening will happen \u201csoon\u201d while also admitting that Scheana did text her on the\u00a0night of her hookup\u00a0with\u00a0Max Boyens, which she\u00a0previously denied.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a scam!\u201d Katie insisted of her restaurant to\u00a0E! News\u00a0on April 19. \u201cThere is a location, 100% there is a location. It exists. There\u2019s a door you can walk through.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so dangerously close, and I mean that in a really positive way. I know it\u2019s been a really long time coming. That\u2019s felt by everyone that asks me that question. But, I mean, if we could\u2019ve opened six months ago, we absolutely would\u2019ve, but it\u2019s completely out of our hands,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
As fans have surely heard, Katie and Ariana, 38, have faced a number of\u00a0permitting issues\u00a0along the way. But now, Katie claims opening day is \u201cright around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to share a date but very, very soon,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had to rip out an entire patio,\u201d Katie continued. \u201cSo we\u2019ve had to get a whole new awning made, we\u2019ve had to get new permits for that \u2026 I saw some plans for it yesterday. This is not for the faint of heart. The education that I\u2019ve got opening up a food establishment is really illuminating.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite her challenges, Katie said the\u00a0inside of her sandwich shop\u00a0is \u201creally beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited about it \u2026 It\u2019s super cute,\u201d she gushed.<\/p>\n
Moving on to the\u00a0Pump Rules\u00a0reunion, Katie said reunions are the \u201cworst day of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year, there\u2019s a lot less yelling, which is always nice, especially\u00a0compared to last year,\u201d she shared. \u201cI feel like everyone just kind of spoke their piece at an inside voice kind of level. [But] it was still very emotionally charged.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Scheana, something \u201ccrazy\u201d happened during the taping that\u2019s \u201cnever happened before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a plot twist at the reunion,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n
Looking\u00a0ahead to season 12, which has not yet been confirmed, Katie said she hopes for \u201clower stakes\u201d drama and \u201csomething a little more lighthearted.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has felt really heavy, especially after last season and the \u2018Scandoval\u2019 of it all, I just feel like, very solemn and just heavy a lot. I just, I don\u2019t want tumultuous arguments, fighting, sometimes you just can\u2019t be bothered. That\u2019s how it feels,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been very dark and that\u2019s tough to navigate when I try to be a positive, happy, light person,\u201d Scheana agreed.<\/p>\n
That said, Scheana said she \u201cdefinitely\u201d wouldn\u2019t leave\u00a0Pump Rules<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 even to join\u00a0The Valley<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cI think doing both would be fun,\u201d she noted. \u201cI think more crossovers in the future would be a lot of fun because I\u2019m legitimately friends with every single person on that show.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I would,\u201d Katie replied. \u201cIt\u2019s just as dramatic as our show \u2026\u00a0Also I don\u2019t like\u00a0Jax Taylor. I think he\u2019s terrible so I don\u2019t want to be a part of anything he\u2019s part of.\u201d<\/p>\n
While discussing Katie and Max\u2019s hookup, and Scheana\u2019s location-tracking on the evening of the encounter, Scheana said she didn\u2019t appreciate Katie suggesting that she only checked to make sure that Max was okay.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say that I didn\u2019t text you when I did,\u201d she told Katie, who claimed she forgot about her castmate\u2019s message.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, but you could\u2019ve said, \u2018I don\u2019t remember if she texted me.\u2019 You said, \u2018She didn\u2019t,\u2019\u201d Scheana pointed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was 2-something in the morning. I was obviously twisted. I don\u2019t remember that text. But yeah, she did. She had the receipts,\u201d Katie admitted, signaling to the text Scheana shared publicly.<\/p>\n
Because Scheana was tracking Max on the night of his and Katie\u2019s hookup, she figured out what happened before Katie told anyone. And much to her dismay,\u00a0her husband,\u00a0Brock Davies, 33, ultimately broke the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cMax told me but I was like, \u2018This is not our place. Let Max or Katie tell Schwartz if they want to.\u2019 And so the fact that he did that really upset me because that was just not his place to say anything,\u201d Scheana explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t planning on taking it to the grave. I just was only going to tell the people that needed to know. I wasn\u2019t going to share that with the group and the rest of America,\u201d Katie clarified.<\/p>\n
One year after \u201cScandoval\u201d rocked the cast, Katie admitted she\u2019s unsure the group will ever be as close as they once were.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been such fractures in the group that I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s a way back to being that happy family that there was once. [And] I think trying to force that would lead to more darkness,\u201d she stated. \u201cSo I don\u2019t know what the future is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI always say we\u2019re a resilient group and we come back from a lot but there was just something about this that hit so differently,\u201d agreed Scheana. \u201cSo I don\u2019t know where we go. I always try to stay positive but this is a very different situation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
