Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval Stand With 'Pump Rules' Costars Amid Drama

Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval have faced major backlash for their cheating scandal — and their Vanderpump Rules costars have been at the forefront and throwing shade. The couple made headlines in March 2023 when Deadline confirmed that Sandoval and Ariana Madix had called it quits after nearly a decade together due to his infidelity. The beauty […]

“I wish Scheana would wake the f--k up. Look at the situation as it really is,” she told the cameras. “Sandoval never really cared about your friendship. Cut ties, move on, and be a good friend to Ariana.

Katie became emotional while speaking to the group about her own issues with Sandoval.

“With all due respect, I just wish you would get over it. This man has never sincerely apologized to me since the day I met him,” she said. “He was horrible to me. He interfered in my marriage. He made everyone believe I was a monster. My own ex-husband [Tom Schwartz] I think.”

Katie concluded: “The fact that anyone would struggle to get over this human garbage bag is unfathomable. Because this person – he’s a demon.

While still married to Schwartz, 41, Katie opened up about how she thought Sandoval was getting too involved in her marriage. Sandoval's apparent disdain for Katie meant that he was always on Schwartz's side, which drove a wedge between Schwartz and Katie.

Vanderpump Rules fans have watched the ups and downs between Katie and Schwartz for over a decade. After six years of marriage, Schwartz and Katie confirmed their separation in March 2022.

“I obviously kept this relationship because I was in love with him. I was imagining, planning, wanting the future [and] everything with it. I think I was also very broken,” Katie said during the September 2023 episode of the “Almost Adulting” podcast. “My confidence, my self-esteem and everything was very broken. »

Katie also remembers never feeling "priority" to Schwartz's professional projects with Sandoval.

Vanderpump Rules back with two key players missing (II)

 (continuation from the previous post)

Vanderpump Rules returned last week for its first outing since the Scandoval affair brought its cast out of the confines of Bravo and onto the pages of The New York Times.

While the episode ends with the image of Sandoval's car stopping in front of the house he still shares with Ariana, he and Raquel are missing, leaving a wound gaping that the rest of the cast has no choice but to talk about.

Even though these characters don't want to be defined by Tom and Raquel's actions, the pain is clearly too fresh for them to move past it, at least this quickly. Ariana is obviously the most hurt, continuing to ice Schwartz after a Watch What Happens Live segment where he encouraged people to give Sandoval a hug if they saw him because he could use one (come on, man) . Towards the end of the episode, Lala, having apparently taken an off-screen maturity potion or something, decides that she doesn't want Scandoval's mistake to define the rest of Raquel's life and tries to tend hand to clarify things. Ariana doesn't like hearing this when she finds out, but it mostly sparks a conversation about how sensitive they both actually are. (Katie Maloney is also there and is in a lot of this episode, but doesn't do much. Sorry Katie!)

Given the frustration built up in the few months between the affair being announced and Pump Rules starting filming its 11th season, all on the slopes. It would be weird for them not to talk about that. But Sandoval now has his apology tour planned, although it will more likely be a righteous outrage tour based on his reunion performance and everything about his personality. As a fellow human being, but as a consumer of reality TV, thank goodness for that.
