Scheana Shay, star of Vanderpump Rules, becomes the latest tourist in London to disregard a caution sign when she is BITTEN by a King’s Guard horse
An unlucky incident marred Scheana Shay’s earlier July vacation in London when a King’s Guard horse attempted to bite her.
As seen on TikTok on Wednesday, the 39-year-old Vanderpump Rules star became one of the tourists who approached the horses too closely.
The horse was outside Buckingham Palace, and there was a big notice next to it that said, ‘BEWARE — Horses may kick or bite — Don’t touch the animal.’
Scheana can be seen in the video strutting up to the stunning dark brown horse and then spinning around to face the camera.
Perhaps what triggered it was her long ponytail brushing against the horse as she swung around.
Scheana appeared to be putting on a straight face for the picture, but the horse interrupted her instantly by jumping to the side and biting her arm, exposing the black minidress that covered her arm.
The reality star staggered forward, clearly showing shock on her face in spite of her enormous sunglasses.
She gave a tiny yelp as she turned to face the horse, but the nibbling was so modest that she began to giggle nervously at her colleagues as she briskly walked away.
The member of the King’s Guard on the horse ignored the near miss as usual.
The King’s Guard horses can be seen biting and bopping several tourists in the video, which was uploaded by the @kingsguardlondonsites account.
Weeks after her trip to London, Scheana seems to have made her way onto the account’s page, and it’s unclear if the initial poster even realized Scheana was well-known.
Scheana was bitten about the same time as a much more serious incident involving a King’s Guard horse that involved another tourist.
The horse appeared upset and had been observed snapping at people who were crowding it, but then a woman wearing a Pink Floyd T-shirt approached it for a picture.
The horse leaned forward to bite her arm, and she screamed.
A man attempted to wipe at the woman’s arm with a cotton swab as she rushed back toward her group, but the woman collapsed to the ground and seemed to drift in and out of consciousness.
The videographer was asked, “Can you go and get the police officer?” by the King’s Guard after he made the reportedly uncommon move of pointing his sword at him due to the severity of the injuries.
This year alone, images and videos have purportedly show multiple tourists being forced to the ground and bitten by King’s Guard horses.
Shortly after arriving back in Los Angeles, Scheana first shared a video of her trip in London on her YouTube page on July 24.
She was in the UK on what she called a “girls trip,” which included appearances on the Saving Grace podcast and concert tickets for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.
The Victoria Memorial, which is close to Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and other famous tourist destinations were among the locations where the Vanderpump Rules fixture stopped.
She cruised down the Thames with her friend Jenny on her last day in London, passing under the stunning Tower Bridge.
Her friend’s flight was delayed, thus she missed the first day of her trip altogether, so things didn’t start out as planned.
Scheana made do with a visit to a posh cocktail bar and a nighttime stroll across the city while wearing her gym attire, which she quipped made it clear she was a visitor.
She accepted a prominent position as a judge at the Miss USA competition in Los Angeles earlier this month after returning home.
She looked stunning in a translucent black minidress with stripes that crossed over it.
