“Scandoval” Signs Started To Surface On Last Night’s Episode Of “Vanderpump Rules,” And Scheana Shay Addressed Her Altercation With Raquel Leviss
As a Bravo enthusiast, even I was starting to feel like the Vanderpump Rules “Scandoval” mess was dragging on and becoming stale. But then came last night’s episode, where clues that something in the milk wasn’t clean between Tom Sandoval and (Rachel) Raquel Leviss started to emerge, and knowing all that we know now, it caused me to whip out my Jessica Fletcher magnifying glass to analyze their every interaction. It seemed like cast members Ally Lewber, Katie Maloney, and even Lisa Vanderpump herself were starting to have their suspicions as well. And after VPR aired, Scheana Shay was on Watch What Happens Live and came clean about getting physical with Raquel upon learning of the affair AND put the rumors that “that hoe” tried to seduce her husband, Brock Davies, to rest.
Rachel’s ex-fiance, James Kennedy, has a girlfriend who’s new to the group this season–Ally. And on last night’s episode, she was surprisingly the very first to kick off the speculation conversation when she shared with James that she saw Tom and Rachel getting a little too close for her comfort one night after James’ cunt-themed DJ set at Lisa’s restaurant, SUR. via Page Six:
“I saw Sandoval and Raquel dancing together at The Abbey after [Kennedy’s] See You Next Tuesday [set at SUR],” the reality star, 27, said in a confessional during Wednesday’s episode of “Vanderpump Rules,” recalling a conversation she had with Lala Kent.
Lewber previously confided in Kent off-camera – along with Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly – about feeling “weird” after seeing Leviss, 28, and Sandoval, 40, together at SUR that night.
“I thought it was kind of weird, because it was like 1 a.m. and we were like, ‘Where’s Ariana?’” Lewber told Kennedy, referring to Sandoval’s now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix.
“I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with it, I guess, to have my boyfriend out at 1 a.m. with girls,” Lewber concluded in her confessional. “But everyone’s different.”
James said he’d also noticed that Tom and Rachel were getting close, but it was probably nothing. SPOILER: it wasn’t nothing. Here’s Ally ringing the alarm:
@hayusocial Hold on, so you’re telling me… Ally was the first person to raise concerns regarding Tom and Raquel?! #PumpRules #RealityTV #Hayu
Then later in the episode, Tom acted like a giggling, skeezy old man with a flirty Rachel right in front of VPR matriarch Lisa, too.
…Even Lisa Vanderpump called out Sandoval for acting a little too happy while sitting next to Leviss and putting his arm around her.
“Why do you like it so much? You’ve got a smile on your face,” Vanderpump told him, to which he subsequently placed his arm on his own lap.
Here’s that scene where Rachel’s sitting between Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, who she’d also recently made out with in public, which many assume was an attempt to throw everyone off of her and Sandoval’s trail:
@ashmatash824 When Lisa calls out Tom for being so happy about it all, she had a feeling. #vanderpumprules #pumprules #lisavanderpump #tomsandoval #raquelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprulesseason10
And right before the credits began to roll, Katie–who was never here for Tom’s whiny, annoying ass and corny painted-white fingernails from the jump– heard about what Ally saw too, and took the opportunity to confront him with it. Of course, he vehemently denied it all.
However, Sandoval cursed out Maloney for even speculating that anything could be going on between him and Leviss when she addressed the late-night hangout later on in the episode.
“You get a lot of joy out of Raquel as well, I think,” Maloney, 36, told Sandoval.
She then brought up to Sandoval how he and Leviss were at The Abbey together “at one o’clock in the morning.”
“Dude, what even the f–k are you saying. Dude, get the f–k out of here man,” Sandoval fired back.
Here’s Katie’s call-out:

Damn, Scheana’s tattoo (or, Penny Lane, I guess) is right, it really do all be happening.
Scheana took to WWHL last night and admitted to Andy Cohen that though she didn’t punch Raquel (only because her doo-doo scoop nails prevent her from making a proper fist), she did shove her and chuck her phone and has #NoRagrets. via Us Weekly:
“I did not punch her in the face,” Shay, 37, revealed… “As you see I can’t really form a proper fist. There’s a shove and there’s a punch and I did not punch her.”
The reality star then admitted to throwing Leviss’ phone during their confrontation, noting that she doesn’t “regret” her actions against her former friend.
Rumors had also been floating around that Rachel presented her lazy Susan hotbox to Scheana’s husband, Brock, but Scheana says she confronted him about the chatter and doesn’t believe anything happened.
“I absolutely did question him because after all the Tom and Raquel stuff, which I didn’t think was true, I obviously had to ask” she explained. “He said, ‘Absolutely not,’ but, as a follow-up question [I asked], ‘Did she ever try?’ As much as I trust my husband, I don’t trust that hoe. He said no. He said he never put that energy off and we know Sandoval did.”
Here’s Scheana discussing it all:
Someone please donate some fresh genitals to WeHo. Clearly, there aren’t enough if all of these people keep shitting where they eat. So help me, if this is all an elaborate ruse for ratings (that, honestly, none of these people seem savvy enough to keep up), I’ll eat my commemorative “Scandoval” lightning bolt necklace!
