‘Vanderpump Rules’ Reunion Trailer: The “Subhuman” Scandoval Takes Center Stage

The perpetrators of #Scandoval have a lot of explaining to do. The trailer for Vanderpump Rules’ three-part reunion just dropped, and Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss—the pair at the center of the shocking cheating scandal that has shaken Bravo to its core—are squirming in the hot seat.

“How did this go from a one-night stand to a full relationship between the two of you?” Andy Cohen asks the duo, kicking off the trailer for the reunion. While we don’t see Sandoval or Leviss respond to Cohen’s query, Ariana Madix, who was Sandoval’s girlfriend of nearly a decade and a friend of Leviss’s, certainly does not mince words. “I can’t think of two worse people. I can’t,” says Madix, wiping away tears. 

In the trailer, Cohen touts that the season 10 VPR reunion may be “more explosive and dramatic” than any other episode in the show’s history. Madix, choosing to wear a red revenge dress, certainly brings the fireworks, calling Sandoval and Leviss “fucking rats” backstage and telling off Sandoval for even deigning to look in her direction during the reunion. “You don’t deserve to look at this,” she snarls. Soon the past is relitigated, with Leviss pointing out that her ex-fiancé, James Kennedy, and cast member Lala Kent hooked up while Leviss and Kennedy were dating. “I wasn’t your best friend, hoe,” Kent screams at Leviss. Context is everything. 

The messy fallout of Scandoval only seems to get messier at the reunion, as Tom Schwartz, Sandoval’s best friend and business partner, seems to have a different version of events than Sandoval, saying that he found out about Sandoval’s affair in late August. “Late August?” asks a clearly confused and annoyed Sandoval. “Oh no, did you guys not put your timelines together to match?” asks Kent. Succession’s “disgusting brothers” would never make such a rookie mistake. 

Elsewhere in the trailer, VPR matriarch Lisa Vanderpump joins the fray, while cast member Scheana Shay breaks down in tears after being served a restraining order from Leviss, whom she allegedly hit after finding out about the affair. (“I did not punch her,” claims Shay; the restraining order has since been dismissed.) But really, it all comes back to Sandoval, Leviss, and Madix. Leviss admits to acting “super selfish” in light of the affair, but Madix would beg to differ. “Selfish does not cover it,” she says. “Diabolical. Demented. Subhuman.” Kennedy also has his own word for it: “Poo-poo head,” he says. “Both of you, poo-poo heads.” Hey, if the shoe fits. 

By the end of the trailer, it’s clear that the name-calling has begun to get to Sandoval, who at one point is seen yelling at a producer outside a trailer. “Stop filming me,” he screams. “I don’t want a camera in my fucking goddamn face.” Maybe he should have considered that before cheating on his girlfriend while starring on national television. You can catch the thrilling conclusion to Scandoval when the three-part reunion of VPR kicks off on Bravo on May 24.
