Before Scheana Shay was serving Pumptinis on Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules,” the reality star was getting cozy with John Mayer. Shay admitted on the “Flashbacks” podcast (via People) in 2020 that she met the “Gravity” singer in 2008 while he was still linked to Jennifer Aniston. The Bravo celebrity was working as a bartender at the Grand Havana Room when Mayer and Aniston invited her to take shots with them. “They invited me to go back to [Aniston’s] place in the Palisades after for an after-party,” she revealed.
Though she declined the invite, Mayer came back to the Grand Havana Room weeks later when he was newly single. At the time, the “Vanderpump Rules” star was living with Stacie Adams, who was featured on MTV’s “The Hills.” Shay then brought her roommate around to mingle with Mayer. “This went on for about six months, that we hung out. We would go to his house… It just became, you know, kind of the three of us,” she said. “We had a little throuple going on. But then there was, like, me and another her. Everyone always had attention.”

Shay admitted she ended up becoming jealous over the arrangement after she felt Mayer had stronger feelings towards Adams. According to Shay, she ended up cutting things off with Mayer, but the singer continued to pursue Adams. She was fired for fraternizing with Mayer, but it lead her to start working for Lisa Vanderpump. “So if it wasn’t for John Mayer, I wouldn’t be on ‘Vanderpump Rules,'” Shay told People.
