Tom Sandoval Denied Having An Affair With Raquel Leviss On The New Episode Of “Vanderpump Rules”
Since the “Scandoval” bomb dropped, Vanderpump Rules viewers have been watching this current season with magnifying glasses up to their TVs, looking for any clues of Tom Sandoval’s and Raquel Leviss’ affair behind Ariana Madix’s back. But in last night’s new episode, we graduated from finding incriminating clues to full-blown GUILTY when the VPR cast started noticing for themselves that Sandoval and Raquel were getting sweeter on each other than a Pumptini. And Lisa Vanderpump’s husband, Ken Todd, has now entered the drama.
This season Raquel’s ex-fiancé James Kennedy brought his new girlfriend Ally Lewber into the group, and she doesn’t really seem to like him that much, but it doesn’t matter cause even if they split, she officially secured her spot on the cast when she dropped the atomic tea bomb in her confessional that she caught Tom and Raquel dancing alone together at The Abbey after she left James’s DJ gig at SUR. So now she doesn’t need to pretend to like James anymore just to be on the show. This remained a secret for like 2 seconds before it traveled down the SUR grapevine in this new episode, but at the time, it seemed so out of the realm of possibility that VPR cast members either blew it off or tried to make sense of it by chalking it up to the possibility that maybe Sandoval and Ariana were secretly in an open relationship.
In a big game of he-said-she-said, Ally told James that she brought the tea to her cast mate Katie Maloney, who’s not the biggest fan of either Sandoval or Raquel this season after Raquel made out with Katie’s ex-husband Tom Schwartz, and when James asked Ally what Katie’s reaction was, Ally responded, “She said something about the ‘not having a lot of rules.’ I don’t know what that means or what she was implying by that.” According to People:
In a confessional, Sandoval said: “It’s annoying that Katie would say something like that. It’s insulting to not just me but Ariana as well. Raquel and I we’re not like, dancing all close in the dark corner of a speakeasy. A bunch of us just went to The Abbey. Two of those people happen to be Raquel and I.”
Then a VPR producer asked him if “anything physical ever happened” between him and Raquel, to which he muttered the most unconvincing denial, saying, “No. Nothing has happened between Raquel and I. Like, nothing.” If only they gave Razzies for TV performances, he’d win them all!
Even Ken Todd awoke from his slumber and clocked in during the preview for next week’s episode, alleging, “I can’t believe that Tom Sandoval had Raquel over when Ariana is away. And she stayed all night.”
You know the producers are all in with this mess when the most historically uninvolved cast member gets involved.
