As I delve deeper into the tumultuous lives of these Vanderpump Rules stars, I can’t help but feel a pang of empathy for Ariana Madix. Her journey, filled with heartbreak and betrayal, is a stark reminder that life often serves us lemons when we least expect it.
Dear Valued Reader, it appears that one prominent figure in society is eagerly anticipating the most memorable day of her life within the realm of Bravosphere.
In the spirit of admiration for “Vanderpump Rules,” I couldn’t resist reenacting a little drama of my own, right there in the legendary back alley of the restaurant, SUR. It was quite a memorable moment!
On Instagram, December 20, 2024, the actress from “Bridgerton” posted a collection of photos that featured herself and friends Rebecca Lowman and Rebecca Asher engaging in heartfelt discussions, much like the stars of the Bravo series had for over a decade.
In a black dress and green coat, Nicola seemed clearly distressed, with her hands raised, as it appeared her friend was scolding her.
Even though he recently shared a photo from it, the 37-year-old personally dined at the eatery belonging to Lisa Vanderpump earlier this year. SUR, in turn, made sure to offer an exceptionally sweet ambiance for the well-known Lady Whistledown.
In September, the restaurant expressed their appreciation for your work, saying ‘We’re huge fans!’ They also thanked you for joining them and referred to you as a ‘Queen.’ The SUR family really appreciates you!
The love for each other is clearly reciprocated, as it has been disclosed earlier that the television series “Vanderpump Rules” served as emotional comfort during the filming of both “Bridgerton” and “Big Mood” for the actress from “Derry Girls”.
Nicola shared with Today in May that her mind was exhausted. She found the dialogue from Bridgerton challenging because it isn’t conversational like everyday speech. Instead, it’s highly stylized. Moreover, Big Mood, one of her close friend’s creations, is filled with colloquialisms, which reflects our casual conversations.
She shared that the complex narratives of both the Netflix show and the Channel 4 series, which she had been following, left her brain feeling utterly frazzled or completely drained.
When I arrived home in the evening, all I wanted to watch was ‘Vanderpump.’ With ten seasons available, I was intrigued since I knew there was a major scandal waiting at the end. I was hooked from the start – it was the ideal reality show, simply fantastic!
After Nicola toasted the series, several adjustments have been implemented for its upcoming season. Following the conclusion of season 11 – an event that transpired three months after the sensational cheating scandal known as “Scandoval,” involving Tom Sandoval, Rachel ” Raquel” Leviss and Ariana Madix – Bravo announced in November that the forthcoming episode will showcase a completely new set of characters.
Moreover, as fans have expressed their worries regarding the forthcoming plotline, Lisa sought to alleviate any concerns with her reassuring statement.
The restaurateur shared with TopMob News earlier this month, “Every action we take will have a unique vibe about it.” They made it clear they won’t strive to replicate the atmosphere of the former Vanderpump Rules. Instead, they promised a fresh, distinct take on things. While maintaining the original theme of the challenges in managing a restaurant and its staff, they expressed that there will always be an engaging story to unfold.
Despite calling the last ten years working alongside the original cast “wonderful,” Lisa pointed out that it was high time for a change.
She clarified, “The tales seemed to wind down a tad.” She continued, “I believe the audience- they didn’t express much surprise that we chose to act at this particular time.
Now, read on for a breakdown of the infamous Scandoval controversy.
Following the breakup of Tom Sandoval‘s tumultuous relationship with fellow cast member Kristen Doute, Ariana Madix joined the cast in season two of Vanderpump Rules. At that point, Kristen claimed that Tom and Ariana had been romantically involved while she and Tom were still together. In a memorable response, Ariana retorted, “I’m more intelligent than you. I’m more attractive than you. Just move on.
Tom and Ariana both initially refuted the accusations, but it was later revealed that they did share a kiss in a pool during their time in Las Vegas.
At the season two reunion, it was revealed by Tom and Ariana that they had been in a relationship. Tom expressed, “We’ve definitely been spending time together,” adding, “Things have been going well.” On the same evening the episode premiered, both SUR bartenders publicly acknowledged their relationship on Instagram.
In the third season, Kristen asserted that a woman contacted her via Instagram, stating she had been intimate with Tom while he was in Miami with Jax Taylor and Tom Schwartz. Kristen subsequently invited this woman to SUR to confront Tom and his girlfriend Ariana about the accusations, but the couple appeared unconcerned, with Tom denying any infidelity towards Ariana.
Following an encounter with DJ James Kennedy at a New Year’s Eve gathering, Raquel Leviss, a beauty pageant contestant and student, first appeared on VPR (Vanderpump Rules) during the fifth season premiere. Two years passed, and despite rumors that several SUR employees had allegedly hooked up with James while he was dating Raquel, they moved in together. However, at that time, James refuted these claims. Later on, when she joined the SUR staff as a waitress, Raquel became a regular cast member of Vanderpump Rules during its ninth season.
Tom and Ariana purchased their initial residence jointly in Valley Village, California, marking the end of their tenure in the West Hollywood flat notorious for its quirkiness – it was impossible to run both the air conditioner and microwave simultaneously without triggering a power blackout.
The farmhouse-style property with five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, spanning approximately 4,500 square feet, was bought by the couple for slightly more than two million dollars, as reported by Bravo TV.
Instead of saying “James proposed to Raquel in a Coachella-style setting, which was filmed by Bravo’s cameras and broadcast in October,” you could rephrase it as:
“James proposed at the iconic Empire Polo Fields of ‘RACHELLA’ Friday night…,” Raquel wrote on Instagram. “And I said YES! I’m over the Coachella moon.” James also announced the news on social media, writing, “THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, said yes.”
During an episode of VPR, it was disclosed later on that James and Tom Sandoval shared the cost of the extravagant engagement, with James explaining, “We each contributed $25k. I find nothing more gratifying than helping a friend realize their dreams.
After a five-year partnership, James and Raquel called off their engagement, surprisingly only a week following the recording of the ninth season’s reunion episode.
Following five incredible years spent together, we realized our aspirations diverged and mutually agreed to end our engagement, as expressed in a joint statement on our individual Instagram posts. Despite the deep affection we still hold for one another, we’ve grown apart emotionally. We ask that any well-wishes sent our way remain positive as we both move forward separately.
Raquel later revealed why she chose to end their relationship.
She clarified during the January 7th episode of the Scheananigans with Scheana Shay podcast that her family and him were having difficulty getting along. As she looked towards future holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other celebrations, it seemed like a choice would have to be made between James and her family. If they had a baby, this conflict appeared even more likely. Facing this potential future and what it entailed, she expressed that she didn’t want that situation to continue.
In March 2022, James publicly confirmed his relationship with Ally Lewber on Instagram, and she has since been appearing on the show.
Approximately a month following the announcement of their split after 12 years, news emerged that Tom Schwartz had been seen kissing Raquel at the Coachella festival.
Contrarily, the co-owner of Schwartz & Sandy swiftly clarified the situation. He tweeted, “Regrettably, I must dispel a rumor – I was not at Coachella.
At the music festival, Raquel was present and shared pictures on Instagram, featuring her with Tom Sandoval and Ariana. She titled one of the selfies with Sandoval as “I’m on an island.” (Informal)
Despite my heart being filled with joy as I stood by Scheana Shay on her special day, tying the knot with Brock Davies in the beautiful backdrop of Cancun, Mexico, whispers of a kiss-shared moment between Schwartz and Raquel at the ceremony took center stage. As evidenced by footage from the season 10 trailer, it seemed that hookup was indeed true, and Schwartz himself acknowledged that his bond with Raquel had morphed into something more complex – a “flirtationship” – following the wedding festivities.
Schwartz confided to Erin Lim Rhodes at TopMob News in October that he and Raquel have developed a strong bond. He expressed admiration for her, stating that as they’ve grown closer, he has discovered aspects of her personality that he wasn’t previously aware of. He admitted to not fully comprehending how hilarious and intelligent Raquel is before their closeness.
In the midst of her continuous disagreement with Katie about Schwartz’s relationship, Raquel’s choice to don a TomTom sweater at BravoCon on October 17 raised some eyebrows.
Raquel shared on Instagram that she wore her TomTom sweatshirt during Day 3 of BravoCon mainly for its cozy feel, but she also wanted to show support for both Toms. She invited people to visit their booth to see more of the adorable merchandise. Raquel expressed her delight in supporting her friends and staying comfortable at the same time. To top it off, she used the hashtags “#sue me” and “#number one Tom Stan.
On Halloween, Sandoval donned Raquel’s attire at BravoCon, complete with a sweatshirt, blonde wig, and sunglasses. He also posted a picture of himself in costume on Instagram Stories, captioned as, “Raquel needs to stop dropping by TomTom; it’s becoming quite embarrassing.
Ariana clarified the rumors about her and Tom having a more flexible type of partnership, hinted at in the exciting season 10 preview.
She posted on Twitter, stating, “I don’t engage in open relationships. To be clear, I’m not that flexible about this, as I hope it’s now apparent. Also, being bisexual doesn’t mean I’m polyamorous.
In the sneak peek, it was mentioned that Raquel’s connection with Tom Schwartz was discussed, and Raquel herself acknowledged, “I have a strong fondness for Schwartz.” Moreover, the upcoming episode will feature Raquel kissing The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ star Garcelle Beauvais’ son Oliver Saunders, as well as her dates with frequent cast member Peter Madrigal.
On March 3rd, a shockwave swept through the Bravo community as it was made official that Tom Sandoval and Ariana had ended their nine-year relationship. A source close to the situation shared with TopMob News that the filming crew were capturing events as they unfolded, implying that this split could be showcased during the ongoing 10th season of the Bravo series.
The breakup occurred following rumors that Tom and Raquel had been involved in a months-long affair, which allegedly led to Ariana being comforted by Scheana, Katie, and Kristen at her home. Furthermore, Kristen, who brought flowers and wine, posted a selfie video of herself with Ariana on her Instagram Stories, stating, “I support Ariana,” indicating the event was happening in real-time.
Later that very same night in sunny Anaheim, California, I, a die-hard fan, found myself immersed in an electrifying performance by none other than my idol, Tom Sandoval and his extraordinary band, The Most Extras!
During the performance, numerous spectators in the crowd shouted “Cheater, cheater!” at Tom as he made his entrance, according to a TikTok video. He chose not to react, but when someone yelled “Ariana!”, he spoke into the microphone saying, “We adore her.” An onlooker who spoke with TopMob News reported that concertgoers additionally chanted “Jerk” in Tom’s vicinity.
After announcing their breakup, Ariana removed her Instagram account, but contrary to rumors, Tom’s representative confirmed to TopMob News exclusively that he has yet to leave the shared home he and Ariana live in.
On March 4, Tom Sandoval posted on Instagram to speak out about the criticism that the staff at his eatery, Schwartz and Sandy’s, have faced following recent news reports.
“Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave [Tom] Schwartz, my friends and family out of this situation,” he wrote on Instagram. “This was a very personal thing.”
Tom continued by expressing, “They are innocent in this situation, but I feel deeply sorry that Greg, Brett, Schwartz, and our team members have to bear the consequences of my actions. In order to show respect for my employees and partners, I will be temporarily stepping aside and taking a break. I need some time to sort everything out. I apologize for any distress this has caused.
On the 7th of March, Tom finally issued a public apology directly to Ariana during the heat of the scandal regarding their affair. In a statement shared on Instagram on the same day, he wrote, “Primarily, I want to express my deepest regret to Ariana. I made mistakes, acted selfishly, and made impulsive decisions that caused her immense pain, both privately and publicly.
As a lifestyle expert, I can empathize deeply with what Ariana and those close to her must be going through right now. It’s heartbreaking, truly. The pain of this situation weighs heavily on me, as I realize that unintentionally, I may have let Ariana down. My sincerest apologies extend not only to her but also to the countless people who have put their trust in us, including our dear families and friends.
He regretfully acknowledged, “I’m heartbroken about how it all turned out.” His actions didn’t align with the person he aspires to be. He’ll keep pondering and striving for self-improvement. There’s still a lot of personal growth work ahead for him. He’s always had this task, and he always will.
Shortly after Tom’s declaration, Raquel publicly apologized to Ariana on her Instagram post from March 8th. In the post, she expressed her remorse by saying, “I sincerely apologize for my behavior and decisions, not just to Ariana, but also to my friends and those who follow our relationships closely. I understand there is no justification, I am not a victim, and I must take responsibility for my actions. I genuinely regret the pain I caused Ariana.
She shared, “I’m thinking deeply about my decisions and talking with a counselor. I’ve discovered aspects of myself, like tendencies towards codependency and an addiction to feeling loved. I’ve sought emotional validation in unhealthy relationships, often putting them before my own well-being and sometimes hurting others. However, I am making efforts to grasp the reasons behind my behavior and choose healthier paths.
On March 8th, Lisa Vanderpump, the boss of Tom and Raquel, had an open discussion with Andy Cohen on ‘Watch What Happens Live’. During this interview, she confessed that she was left speechless by the recent news, expressing her astonishment by saying “I was gobsmacked” and “flabbergasted”. In her own words, she stated, “There were no words. I didn’t expect it. No one did.
LVP emphasized that the surprising aspect of this scandal was that their relationship, which had been ongoing for quite some time, remained undiscovered by others.
Expressing a recent development about Ariana, Lisa shared her feelings, “I’m heartbroken. There have been many tears. Ariana was our steadfast companion, while it appears Raquel was more of a casual companion, and Ariana was the one who would stand by us through thick and thin—not an ideal situation.
As a lifestyle expert looking back on the intriguing tale unfolding between friends, let me share some insights: It was on the 11th of March that Tom Schwartz himself finally opened up about the affair involving his close friend and business partner, shedding light on the timeline we’ve all been curious about. He chose TMZ as the platform to reveal these details, adding a touch of drama to an already captivating storyline.
To be honest, I’m feeling quite down due to the harm it’s caused for our company,” he admitted. “However, I believe reason will win out and I’ll continue moving forward as usual.
Regarding Sandoval’s current state amidst the criticism, he mentioned, “He seems alright, I believe. There’s a deep sense of sorrow within him, as one might expect. I think he feels low and, to an extent, he may be. He acknowledges his mistake and finds the entire situation quite unfortunate.
During an interview on March 15th on “Watch What Happens Live”, Katie Maloney stated that she wasn’t surprised when the Tom-Raquel cheating scandal broke out, but emphasized that the specifics of the situation were indeed surprising.
Besides providing information about Ariana following the breakup, Katie mentioned that she seems to be doing well mentally. She is focusing on self-care, as evidenced by their meeting the previous day. They share a sense of enthusiasm because Ariana herself appears optimistic and eager.
Approximately two weeks had passed since the dispute arose, but on March 15th, Ariana chose to address the split publicly through an Instagram post.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, allow me to convey my heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming love and encouragement that has poured in from friends, relatives, and total strangers over the past fortnight. In moments when I’ve teetered on the brink of resilience, you’ve all provided the fortitude needed to press on, guiding me through my most challenging times.
Ariana emphasized that the words ‘devastated’ and ‘broken’ don’t quite capture how she feels. She’s going through this tough time with many of her dearest friends, who are also mourning and feeling betrayed. She considers herself incredibly fortunate to have such a remarkable support system, one she hopes to be able to repay for the love they’ve shown her during these challenging days.
In the midseason trailer for Season 10, Bravo unveiled the initial footage of Scandoval on March 20th. This heated conversation between Tom and Ariana, captured by cameras, took place after their affair and saw Ariana telling Tom to “expire” due to his infidelity with Raquel.
In my professional opinion as a lifestyle guide, instead of saying “I wish we had put more effort in,” Tom might express it as, “I regret that we didn’t give our best shot.” On the other hand, Ariana’s response could be rephrased as, “Your actions don’t warrant even a single tear from me.” Keep in mind, I’m simply offering alternative ways to convey the same message in a more conversational and first-person style.
On March 23rd, Andy Cohen hosted an intense season 10 reunion of VPR, where the entire cast confronted Tom and Raquel about their affair. According to TopMob News, the atmosphere was extremely charged during the reunion, leading Andy to intervene and separate two cast members to prevent a physical altercation from taking place.
In his radio broadcast on April 3, Andy later disclosed, “It was a significant moment of accountability. If you wish to learn about their experiences, you shall find it. If you are seeking a direct and assertive confrontation regarding their actions, that’s exactly what you will receive.
Bravo revealed the cast’s reunion looks on April 3, including Ariana’s red-hot revenge dress.
During a shocking April 5 interview on “Watch What Happens Live”, Tom Schwartz disclosed that he discovered Sandoval and Leviss had their first rendezvous back in August of the previous year. He further explained, “From my perspective, it turned into an emotional entanglement”, emphasizing that such a connection remains unacceptable even if it’s not physical.
Schwartz stated that his close friend confided in him in January, revealing that he was smitten with Leviss, even though he was still involved with Madix. He described Sandoval’s emotions as an intense obsession, going so far as to call it “the infatuation of all infatuations.
Over a month since the revelation of their prolonged affair became public, it’s been confirmed by a source to TopMob News that Raquel sought help at a mental health facility on April 14th.
Months prior, it was decided by Raquel and her family that she required mental health care, which ultimately led to her choosing a voluntary mental health counseling facility. However, before this could happen, she opted to fulfill her filming obligations first. Bravo and production were informed about her decision and supported her pursuit of improved mental health during this period. This information was shared with TopMob News by Raquel’s representative.
During Coachella 2023, spanning from April 14th to 16th, Ariana gave signs of leaving her past behind with Tom. Over the course of the Californian event, the public figure was seen affectionately with fitness trainer Daniel Wai, sharing tender moments and kisses.
In the thrilling climax of VPR’s tenth season, Tom and Raquel expressed their affection for each other publicly for the first time, amidst the repercussions of the affair. They also openly pondered about their future as a couple following the controversy.
He expressed that he can’t foresee what will happen with Raquel and himself, as there might be a positive outcome or it could go another way. However, when he kissed Raquel, he felt a glimmer of hope, like perhaps his best days are yet to come instead of being in the past.
In another finale bombshell, Tom admitted to cheating on Ariana prior to his affair with Raquel.
In a candid conversation with Scheana Shay, she inquired about his infidelity by saying, “Apart from your relationship with Miami girl, have you ever been unfaithful to Ariana before this instance?” To which he responded, “Yes, there was another occasion.
Her reaction? “You’re sick,” she said. “Just a random person?”
Initially, Tom answered affirmatively, but then became uncomfortable and clarified, “Actually, no,” before choosing not to disclose further information.
A day following the final episode, Ariana spoke candidly regarding her progression with a new partner named Daniel Wai on the TODAY show.
Ariana expressed on May 18th, “I’m having a great time, and I must admit I’m quite content at the moment.” She encountered him approximately ten days later at a wedding. To clarify, she didn’t go into it with any specific expectations. Instead, she has been moving slowly and savoring every moment. It’s truly delightful to engage with someone who is so considerate, kind, amiable, and compassionate.
On May 24th, VPR producer Alex Baskin firmly denied speculations that Tom and Raquel were having a baby as a result of their affair.
“The pregnancy one was wild,” Baskin told Page Six. “She’s not pregnant by the way.”
On the June 7th reunion show, Raquel met Ariana for the first time since the controversy, offering a heartfelt apology that was filled with emotion.
She confided, “I feel deeply ashamed and humiliated for being able to hide this secret from someone who has stood by me since day one.” To Ariana, she apologized sincerely for her betrayal. “The pain I’ve caused you is unimaginable to me now,” she continued. “I have acted out of sheer selfishness, and though the word ‘selfish’ falls short, it gives a glimpse into the self-centered state I’ve been in. My actions were a mistake.
Ariana firmly rejected the comment, retorting with, “Selfish is far from an adequate term for what you’ve done. You’re vile, twisted, despicable, subhuman – expand your vocabulary to truly capture the nature of your actions because ‘selfish’ does not begin to cover it.
