Ariana Madix Reveals the Shocking Details of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ First Hookup

Plus, see how Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney reacted to the cheating revelation.

By Allison Crist

The latest sneak peek of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 finale — set to air Wednesday, May 17 — is shedding light on one of the biggest questions to emerge about Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ affair: When exactly did it begin? 

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.  

However, Ariana Madix is unfortunately the one doing the explaining. As she tells Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay in the above preview, “I went with Tom to TomTom because he had that party thing. I found a screen recording of them on FaceTime. It was literally from the night before. He was at [Tom] Schwartz’s.”

A surprised Katie briefly interjects to ask, “He was at Schwartz’s doing this?!”

From there, Ariana continues. “That’s when I called Raquel and I started, like, making her, like, f-cking tell me what the f-ck? When did this start?” Ariana recalls. “[Raquel] said, ‘Right after the girls’ trip.’ I’m like, ‘You mean right after Charlotte died?’”

Who Is Charlotte to Ariana?

Charlotte, as Vanderpump Rules fans may recall, was the dog Ariana and Sandoval shared before she tragically passed away during the girls’ Las Vegas trip earlier this season. Ariana left the trip early after learning that Charlotte was “not going to come back this time,” and eventually, Raquel and Scheana left too. They wound up at “guys’ night,” and that’s apparently where Sandoval and Raquel first hooked up

“[Raquel] said they kissed,” Ariana continues in the sneak peek. “Well, later that night when we were out here, I pressed Tom. And he said, well, they actually f-cked in her car that night. And he didn’t have a key to get in, so he had to ring the doorbell and I had to let him in.”

“My emotions were clearly all over the place, and he was angry at me,” Ariana adds. “Angry. At me!”

What Else Will Happen on the Vanderpump Rules Finale?

The preview ends there, but the previously released finale trailer is proof that there’s still a lot of drama to come. See it all go down on the May 17 Season 10 finale, and stay tuned for the upcoming three-part reunion, which kicks off on Wednesday, May 24. And ICYMI, the day after each reunion episode airs on Bravo, Peacock will exclusively stream Vanderpump Rules: Pumped Up Edition, a first-of-its-kind extended version of the three reunion episodes.
