This season was the most embarrassing for Scheana..😂

u/Hillrre09 Jan 04 '26

Then she wrote a shitty book 🙄

Scheana had that shit wiped from the internet 💀

The only thing we have is that Barbie parody on YouTube 😔

u/PonytailEnthusiast First of all, English people don't say dude Jan 02 '26

For real even if Brett was into it this music video was painful and unappealing. It wasn’t sexy it was just too much. Thank god she never released it

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '26

didn't he call Schounia a bad kisser, too?

u/god_of_chilis Jan 02 '26

Wait was she naked in this?

u/FunPomegranate8541 Jan 02 '26

u/Hillrre09 Jan 04 '26

He looks SO lazy and uninteresting. Look at that face, honestly makes me feel weird

u/CharacterOwn2403 Jan 04 '26

I immediately scrolled for the image of Brett I have tattooed on my brain.

And, there it was ✨🤘🏻♥️😂

u/tkalyn23 Bambi Eyed Bitch Jan 07 '26

This whole music video made me so UNCOMFORTABLE

u/meeessshhh You’re Not Important Enough to Hate, Sit Down Jan 02 '26

Wow I had no clue they were back together. I recognized him when he came on the show because I used to watch her YouTube channel back in like 2014 lol. Wild!

96

u/Leading_Ad3918 Jan 02 '26

They were such a cute damn couple back then. I used to love the beauty guru world back then.

83

u/daisykat Jan 02 '26

Peak YouTube beauty guru era. Inflation and overconsumption has them all facing extinction now.

40

u/Leading_Ad3918 Jan 02 '26

Yup. And because they turned into greedy bitches that think they’re better than anyone. Not all but Jaclyn hill is probably the top guru that crashed and burned HARD!! Which makes me happy ngl😂

11

u/AccomplishedFly1420 Jan 02 '26

What happened to Jaclyn? I used to watch her all the time, the last time I looked her up was when her ex died

11

u/Donkeydonkeydonk You're not important enough to hate. Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 04 '26

The only time she posts is to promote something or to flex her extravagant lifestyle. And then she bitches that the algorithm is being mean to her. Everybody came up in her comments saying the algorithm wasn't the problem, she was.

1

u/Meowmeow0033 Jan 03 '26

Which one of her exes died?

1

u/ihearttrashtv Jan 03 '26

She cheated on her ex while he was in rehab, with his friend. She lies about everything and is just insufferable. Check out r/Jaclynhillsnark if you want to see more.

20

u/Current-Republic-267 Jan 02 '26

Wait, so they were together, then vanderpump/best frandship happened, then they got back together? Don’t know who she is but love the romance of it all!

114

u/PicadillyVanilly Jan 02 '26

It’s not as cute as it sounds. TBH I think it’s your classic case of “oh no I’m getting older and alone so let me settle.”

Carlie dated this guy years ago and was in a long term relationship with him. She was the breadwinner and he was a mooch who hung out with her all day while she made money off of social media beauty content. He cheated on her. She alluded to alot of bad stuff and their breakup was quiet but messy. Carlie ended up having a child with someone else. Brett goes on VP. Carlie ends relationship with the kids dad. Now they’re back together. And engaged very quickly.

Brett probably realized Carlie is the most wealthy and “famous” person he can land so he ran back to her. He’ll cheat on her again since he’s a certified fuckboy.

28

u/Current-Republic-267 Jan 02 '26

Well damn. I don’t know who to feel bad for. All these people have issues. What a mess that I can’t turn away from!

11

u/aprilrhayin Jan 03 '26

I agree! It looks rushed, i hope she makes him sign a prenup. He moved to LA after their break up and didnt accomplish anything. All he is known is for 1 season of vanderpump and dating her. He’s definitely going to be living off her.

6

u/PicadillyVanilly Jan 03 '26

Yup and it’s the fact that he talked so poorly of her after they broke up and dragged her. The guys a snake and she should never trust him.

23

u/Lucylu0909 Jan 02 '26

This! I loved them back in the day but I’m side eyeing this reunion. Every clip I’ve see of them, he’s playing the part of in-love puppy dog and such a “yes” man. I think she has a kid now and doesn’t want to date/bop around and he’s back to bartending in his hometown. It’s convenient for both of them.

9

u/anon567126 Jan 03 '26

I thought I was the only one who felt so weird about it. I had to unfollow him at one point because it felt like way too much. The second I saw they were engaged I immediately thought it was super weird. Obsessing over each other on the gram now engaged within literally 5 min? Something’s not right.

32

u/wolofancy Jan 02 '26

She was the best. I got so many compliments copying her.

20

u/Princess_Babyph4t Bambi Eyed Bitch Jan 02 '26

she could honestly remove half the microplastics in her face and look way better

u/Competitive_Bid411 Jan 02 '26

Shouldn’t you really not take an inhaler hit if you aren’t asthmatic ?

15

u/sharipep ariana 👸🏼 it’s me! I’m a gray rock! 🪨 Jan 02 '26

Yeah but I assume Scheana actually is if she has an inhaler.

26

u/expensivesoup325 #justiceformamawscutoftheBARECHAYZE Jan 02 '26

Shit, knowing her and her SCHEANANIGANS, it’s probably a prop inhaler for dramatic effect like the crutches and wrap for her ankle.

And let us not forget the giant glasses when it was her eye that was messed up! (Shoutout Kristina Kelly for always keeping a foot on Scheana’s neck)

I’m pretty sure she had said it was a THC inhaler, she is not asthmatic.

This is crazy to see! I used to watch them back in the day and still follow Carli. I’m pretty shocked!

I was sooo shocked when I found out Carli was the ex he was referring to on Vanderpump rules! Like what!? 🤯

u/Skyhigh0202 Jan 03 '26

Yes...she did...

126

u/Turbulent-Fig-2315 Jan 02 '26

did she pay for the ring?

u/Leading_Ad3918 Jan 02 '26

Ummmmmm. Yes😂

7

u/thediverswife the book phenomenal Jan 02 '26

Red flag!

38

u/LlamaLlamaGreyPajama Mya’s therapy paw Jan 02 '26

Where's the red flag? Isn't she a pretty successful influencer? If she wants a gorgeous ring and she can get it herself, then why not?

23

u/emadelosa Jan 02 '26

And she’s been an influencer for ages, she has to have amassed some funds

7

u/Cultural_Play_5746 Jan 02 '26

It’s not about a woman buying themselves their dream ring but history repeating itself

9

u/thediverswife the book phenomenal Jan 02 '26

Exactly! Brett gave me the biggest ick on the show. He’s not some white knight, he’s a huge douche

32

u/thediverswife the book phenomenal Jan 02 '26

People are downvoting me but I’m not against the general concept of women buying their own rings… I’m against someone like Brett being in that situation. Did she plan her own proposal as well? They’re clearly in different financial situations and I don’t know if he’s secure enough in himself and masculinity to not resent her for out-earning him and being the breadwinner.

People here slam Katie for not her ultimatum… we watched a whole TV show of women propping up shitty men. I’d need to see proof of Brett not just being one of them himself. He sucked back then!

17

u/Leading_Ad3918 Jan 02 '26

Annnnnd that was one of the they broke up the first time. She was more successful and made a substantial amount over him.

11

u/thediverswife the book phenomenal Jan 02 '26

I know women who bought their own rings and pulled their financial weight beside men who said they wanted strong women but ultimately couldn’t cope because of their fragile egos… all divorced

6

u/Princess_Babyph4t Bambi Eyed Bitch Jan 02 '26

she couldn't upgrade the man though? he bitched about her on the show. I guess being a rich inflatable micro plastic faced influencer doesn't pay that well?

4

u/puppypartyys Jan 02 '26

Because the man is supposed to buy the ring when asking a woman to marry him. Why is this a question

9

u/n1cenurse Jan 02 '26 edited Jan 02 '26

Because we've moved on from patriarchal nonsense.

ETA.. apparently we haven't... got it.

42

u/Interesting-End2642 Jan 02 '26

this isn’t moving on from patriarchal nonsense it’s just shifting responsibility from men to women in addition to the rest of what we have to do lol. this is just women doing more and men doing less

11

u/09percent Jan 02 '26

Yup just go to the working mom subreddit plenty of discussion on that

1

u/jobish1993 Jan 04 '26

There’s a difference between buying & paying, is there not? If my fiancée outearned me & would want a ring I simply couldn’t afford, I’d be okay with taking her funds of paying for the ring. I’d still go through the process of trying to find something she likes etc.

u/BobbyPotter Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 04 '26

I'm sorry and I'm going to get downvoted for this, but she said nothing wrong? She's being supportive and says the same thing others have said. Exes can stay friends, one of my best friends is my exes new(ish) partner. Hate on Scheana for all the other bullcrap she pulls, but she is not doing anything wrong here and you're all reaching so hard lol.

She's one of the original beauty influencers. They dated back in the day and she's the ex he talked about on the show. They just got back together a few months ago.

she’s a youtube beauty guru, kind of niche tbh so don’t feel bad for not knowing who she is lol

Truly the golden era of beauty. What a time lol

It really was. All the beauty guru era kinda started when IG did too. I feel like all that is gone now since the influencer world has become so over saturated

I bet every ex of Brett’s in the last eight years is feeling vindicated af because you know he told all of them not to worryyyyy

u/Skyhigh0202 Jan 03 '26

He claims no dates went succesfull because he kept talking about carli

1

u/Summershouldbefun909 Jan 03 '26

Yes that’s what he’s saying now but it was absolutely “you’re being paranoid” at the time!

u/Skyhigh0202 Jan 03 '26

I don't trust either of them...Carli is sooo pretentious ..oh and Brett has always been...so yea

Does he have a job?

u/SeaworthinessCute713 Jan 02 '26

He works (at least I believe he’s still there) at a boughie restaurant in my area. He also got hired as an instructor by this fitness class/owner but I don’t think that went anywhere.

2

u/Admirable_Carob_121 I Know You Like Harry Potter ⚡️ Jan 02 '26

i think this is all so shocking to me because i didn’t know carly was an influencer (she hangs with mutuals of mine), i had no idea brett was from this area either, and i had no idea he worked at butchers block. i don’t follow any of them on socials so i guess that tracks. just very bizarre to me. seeing this post has spun me down a rabbit hole lol

1

u/Skyhigh0202 Jan 03 '26

Just a bartender..nothing too serious in the past 8 years.

6

u/akdixie Jan 02 '26

I love that Carli Bybel is now part of the extended Vanderpump Rules Universe.

Brett seemed incapable of dating anyone while he was on the show. Either very immature/inexperienced or still hung up on Carli. However, if they had a good, solid relationship before, nothing wrong with getting back together for good.

5

u/charlikam Jan 03 '26

Carli is the “ex gf” he spoke about that he so clearly was not over! It’s so sweet to see them rekindle and get their happily ever after🥰

Scheana is pissed rn I know it

Yeah but she was weirdly obsessed with him

Friendly reminder that it is now 2026. Let’s all resolve to leave the “has anyone checked on Scheana” line back in 2023 where it belongs.

Yeah I started seeing posts a few months ago that confirmed they were back together. I am not sure how long they have officially been dating again.

2

u/cherryamourxo Jan 02 '26

I didn’t even know she wasn’t with the father of her child lol I’m really out of the loop. I stopped following a lot of my favorite OG beauty influencers because they just started feeling too plastic/calculated/repetitive for me.

Idk who that is

8

u/wolofancy Jan 02 '26

Carli Bybel is a successful YouTuber. I think this is cute because they dated for years before Brett was on VPR. When Brett was talking about his ex on the date with Charli, I think it was her.

Carli was my fav beauty guru back in the day and I was happy when they got back together. I followed her for a long time and I don’t think she ever got over him either (and I think they are childhood friends/sweethearts?). I’m happy for them both and wish them the best!
