On Monday, April 3, the network shared photos of Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss, Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, James Kennedy, Ally Lewber and Lisa Vanderpump. Fans anticipated Ariana's treatment after Andy Cohen teased that she wore a "revenge dress" at the time.
“Ariana, is it safe to say you are wearing a revenge dress today?” he asked via Instagram Stories without showing the reality star.
She replied: “I feel like it certainly looks like that, huh? …I think his eyes are going to bleed.
The special began filming on March 23 with Andy ready to take the mic and grill the Pump Rules gang about all the drama of the season — and particularly in the wake of Ariana, 37, and of Sandoval due to his affair with Raquel, 28.
Ariana, Sandoval, 40, Raquel, Scheana, 37, Lala, 32, Katie, 36, Schwartz, 40, James, 31, and Lisa, 62, were all photographed arriving at the filming location separately . Ariana, for her part, subtly shaded her ex while wearing a yellow Boys Lie tracksuit. The sweatpants were emblazoned with the phrase: "We're sorry." The number you are trying to reach has changed.
Both Scheana and Raquel were physically present for the taping despite their legal drama. The former beauty queen filed a restraining order against Scheana, claiming the “Good and Gold” singer physically assaulted her after discovering her affair with Sandoval. Scheana's attorney, Neama Rahmania vehemently denied the allegations in a statement to Us Weekly. Still, the lawyer explained that Scheana intended to obey the order during the meeting.
“Scheana and Vanderpump Rules will ensure that Scheana stays 100 yards away to comply with the restraining order,” he told Us at the time.
A day after the recording, Raquel said she planned to drop the order. He was officially fired on March 29.
Season 10 of the Bravo series — which filmed in summer 2022 — began in the wake of a series of breakups among the cast, including James and Raquel calling off their engagement, as well as Katie and Schwartz ending their marriage after 12 years together.
During filming, Us confirmed that Leviss and Schwartz, Sandoval's business partner, met at Scheana and Brock Davies' wedding in August 2022.
After Sandoval's affair with Raquel was revealed earlier this month, the cast returned to film more content for the upcoming season. The stars didn't hold back in their support for Ariana — or in their choice words for Sandoval and Raquel.
While Sandoval and Raquel apologized to Ariana — who, for her part, expressed gratitude for all the support she received — the California native also revealed that there was still something between her and co-owner of Schwartz & Sandy.
“It started as a friendship and turned into something more,” Raquel told TMZ on March 22. “We’re just trying to take these next steps, make amends and listen to everyone. I know a lot of people are angry. So just take these next steps and don't put any labels on anything. We're just kind of taking a break at the moment.
Sandoval and Raquel will have to answer tough questions about their affair. “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this... #PumpRules #ReunionDay,” Andy captioned a selfie from the set at the time. Earlier on Monday, the Radio Andy host confirmed he got the answers fans wanted.
“I split up one-on-ones with Tom, Ariana and Raquel so I could have all their stories just in conversation with me,” he said on SiriusXM, explaining that he asked for “a lot of things in front of the group” too. “I had things too – I had my own concerns. I had my own things that I wanted to confront them about. Things I had noticed so I have to do it. That's how we started, then we brought them to the film group.
He concluded that the meeting was a “real reckoning” and bonus footage aired on Peacock.
