Scheana Shay is confident that Brittany Cartwright “got her sparkle back.”
The Vanderpump Rules alum shared the update during a recent appearance on Gia Giudice’s Casual Chaos podcast. Near the end of the conversation, Scheana was asked if she had formally met Brittany’s new flame, Brandon Hanson. The former SURver was hesitant to directly answer the question, as she wasn’t sure what Brittany had publicly revealed at the time.
“I don’t know what she has said,” Scheana told the Next Gen NYC cast member. “So, I know it gets me in trouble when I comment on my friends’ stuff before things are out there about them.”
Scheana Shay says Brittany Cartwright is “extremely happy”
While she declined to dish on the Brandon topic, Scheana reassured listeners that Brittany was in a really great place.
“All I will say is this — I said this on a radio show yesterday: I am extremely happy for where Brittany is in her life right now,” Scheana said. “I love her so much. But I will say that the position she’s in in life right now, she deserves it. She’s extremely happy. And I was over at her house the other day hanging out, and she’s got her sparkle back. I just saw it in her eyes. And it just makes me so happy. Fully support.”
