Another day and yet another scandal revolving around the cast of Vanderpump Rules, and this time the center stage has been taken by Tom Sandoval , Ariana Madix , and Raquel Leviss . Keep reading to discover all that went down between the trio and how other cast members are reacting to the news.
An Unanticipated Breakup News
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix ended their 9-year-long relationship after Tom was caught having an affair with their co-star, Raquel Leviss.
It’s Hard To Accept

A source confirmed the news saying, “It’s true that they split and cameras are rolling,” and explained that Madix called it quits after learning about her partner’s infidelity.
The Cast Reacts
An insider on the production team said, “The majority of the cast is expected to gather and film tomorrow to share their reactions to Raquel and Sandoval’s affair. Mostly everyone is shaken and completely heartbroken for Ariana.”
A Supportive Girlfriend
Ton was spotted in Los Angeles on Wednesday alongside Madix, who played the part of the supportive girlfriend for Tom’s show that night.
What’s Happening Behind Your Back
The couple looked very much in love and were seen kissing at the venue. An insider says, “She was supporting his new single. She had no idea any of this was happening behind her back.”
A Suspicious Break
It was when Madix suddenly deactivated her Instagram account on Friday that fans realized something was wrong, only to find out later it was way beyond anything they had expected.
The Culprit Is Caught
Madix learned about the affair at the venue when she saw a sexual video of Raquel on Tom’s phone. Shocked by the video, she started scrolling through their previous texts and saw the history of their inappropriate exchanges.
People Are Not What They Seem To Be
Talking about Raquel’s relationship with Ariana, a source revealed, “Ariana had been there for Raquel when she went through her split with James. She thought they were friends. This isn’t something you do to a friend.”
The Filming Resumes
Production of the hit reality show is being ramped up to record the events between cast members following the scandal for the season finale of the 10th Season.
An Old Love Triangle

Leviss was previously tangled in a love triangle between ex-lovers Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz. Raquel made advances toward Schwartz that became successful in the latter episodes of the season.
Watch What Happens
It seemed like Raquel had her eyes on Schwartz; however, in her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, she chose Sandoval over Schwartz, who she thinks is hotter.
A Home Wrecker
In episode 4 of Season 10, Charli Burnett called Raquel a “homewrecker” for her previous interferences in other people’s relationships. Now, it seems that Raquel has really lived up to her new title.
6 Months In Secret
A source revealed that Sandoval had been cheating on Ariana for the past 6 months “This has been going on for upwards of 6 months — all the while, Tom was sleeping next to Ariana in bed.”
A Devastating Betrayal
When talking about Ariana, the source said, “This is someone she thought she knew, someone she planned to spend the rest of her life with. You can’t even put into words that betrayal.”
It Had To End Somewhere
Another source revealed that Ariana and Sandoval had been facing problems in their relationship for quite some time, and the news about the affair was the final straw for Ariana, “She put up with a lot over the years, but she won’t sit back and be disrespected this way.”
The Ex Speaks Out
James Kennedy, who was previously engaged to Raquel, shared his opinion on social media, saying, “Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything.”
Destructive Comments
Ariana’s brother, Jeremy Madix, commented under James’ post, saying, “It’s funny to watch people social climb and be soooooooo fake that they’re willing to s–t on people that are supposed to be their ‘best friend’ (a term that gets thrown around very often around here) all just to come up or have some sort of storyline.”
A Toxic Environment

Calling out the toxicity on the show, he stated, “This lifestyle and this group is beyond toxic, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. All just for clout from a corny-a*s network like BravoTV.”
Living A Desperate Life
He then slammed both Sandoval and Raquel, saying, “Toms a try hard having a midlife crisis with his cringy band and Raquel has faked her way to the top trying to make something of her life willing to step on whoever to get there [sic] starting with James.”
