If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know this has been an especially revealing season for the newly-dubbed Mrs. Scheana Marie Shay.
We’ve learned that Scheana’s marriage is in trouble; we’ve seen her go full mean girl on Lala; and we witnessed the truly unfortunate Madonna costume that she wore to her 30th birthday party.
But apparently, Scheana has shown audiences even more of herself in the past.
According to a new report from Radar Online, Scheana worked on several softcore porn projects when she was just starting out in LA.
Specifically, Scheana was a recurring character on Femme Fatales, a short-lived Cinemax anthology series that sounds like it was basically The Twilight Zone with boobs.
“I really liked working with her a lot,” the show’s director Robert Meyer Burnett tells Radar.
“We were always at odds with the actors we could get and obviously you want to get good actors, but at the same time you were like, ‘You have to get naked and simulate sex.’”
Apparently, Scheana was willing to get down and dirty in more ways than one:
“Not only did she have to have sex in the show, but then she had a huge cat fight in the kitchen at the end where she is battling with knives and pots and pans,” Burnett says.
“She really went for it – I’ve got to give her all the credit in the world because she was awesome…I had a lot of fun with her. I thought she was great. Total trooper: she did everything that we asked of her.”
Burnett says he was disappointed when Scheana (not surprisingly) later tried to leave her porn past behind her.
“I had put a 2-minute directing montage of my footage from the show and I tagged everybody that was in my montage,” the director says. “She was actually the only one who objected to it.
“She wrote me back, and said, ‘Look, I want you to untag me and please don’t put me on any of your stuff anymore because I’m not doing this anymore and I’m in a different phase of my career.’
“I kind of felt bummed out…I thought she was good. I wish she looked back on doing those shows as fondly as I do.”
Yeah, Scheana – don’t be ashamed of your past, girl. Have you seen Vanderpump Rules? It’s really not much classier than porn.
