Vanderpump Rules beauty Scheana Marie addressed recent controversy she's had with co-star Katie Maloney, in addition to her ongoing troubles with ex Mike Shay.

The 31-year-old West Covina, California native appeared via video Wednesday on SiriusXM's Conversations with Maria Menounos, in a split-screen chat.

The 5ft5 beauty justified her recent on-air grousing about a $3,000 price tag linked to Maloney's bridal shower (that she had to cough up a part of).

The issue stirred up some Twitter users who saw the brazen brunette beauty on the show confront the bride-to-be about the cost, which she felt to be exorbitant.

Stating her case: Scheana Marie, 31, opened up about recent controversies on Conversations with Maria Menounos

In her defense: The reality star said she felt the price of co-star Katie Maloney's bridal shower was too much, as she could have gotten comparable alternatives much cheaper

And while she eventually came to admit the move was 'tacky,' Scheana Marie didn't back down on her stance in her interview, again complaining about the cost, as well as the way the bill was divided.

'I'm sorry, but a three-hour bridal shower should not cost $3,000 - that's insane to me,' she said. 'And to think we're going to split it three ways because we make more money out of the bridesmaids, that's also not fair; I didn't agree to that.'

Scheana Marie said she could have secured solid alternatives, free of charge. She blamed some of her behavior on stress in her life at the time of the event.

Self-aware: The West Covina native admitted that some of her actions with Katie (right) were 'tacky,' saying that she was going through a lot at the time

'I was at a breaking point with so many things this past summer and a lot of things just came out wrong,' said the model-actress, who filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Mike Shay, last November.

The Bravo beauty didn't have particularly kind words for her ex, as she said that part of the reason she complained about the shower cost was directly linked to his actions, at the time, on their joint bank account.

'He's running up my credit card bills and taking money out of our savings account, so I can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a bridal shower when my husband is already taking it from me.'

Bad blood: Scheana Marie said that her parting with Mike Shay, seen here at a 2016 event in Las Vegas, has her listening to Taylor Swift songs

Scheana Marie said that in the wake of her breakup with Shay, she's better relating to Taylor Swift breakup songs.

'I was listening this morning to Taylor Swift's Bad Blood - not the remix version, the original - and I'm like, "I have never related to her lyrics so much."'

She said Shay 'did a lot of things to me that I think will affect me for a long time,' adding that she 'maybe' has began dating again.

Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo Mondays at 9/8c.
