The scandal that united a nation. As Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss‘ cheating drama continues to make headlines, the Vanderpump Rules season 10 midseason trailer has hinted at what is yet to come.
Bravo posted the sneak peek on Monday, March 20, which included new footage in the aftermath of Sandoval’s bombshell affair. Raquel, 28, was also a major topic of discussion after her dating life was called into question.
“I want to light them both on f—king fire,” Katie Maloney says while seemingly addressing Raquel’s August 2022 hookup with Tom Schwartz at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies‘ nuptials.
The California native, for her part, weighed in on the issues her costars have with her personal life. “I don’t f—king regret our relationship,” she shares, although it remains unclear which romantic connection she is referencing.
Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Sandoval, 40, and Ariana Madix had split after nearly a decade of dating because he was unfaithful with Raquel.
“Ariana found out [about the affair] after looking at Tom’s phone while he was on stage performing his new song,” a source shared with Us at the time. “It’s still unclear when Tom Schwartz knew or if he was blindsided.”
In response to the news, the beauty pageant contestant issued a public apology to Ariana, 37. “I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana, and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana,” she wrote via Instagram on March 8.
Raquel also addressed where she and the TomTom co-owner stand now.
“Besides the indefensible circumstances surrounding our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been sincere and born out of a loving friendship,” she wrote via Instagram. “Knowing how many people we hurt, I need to understand my choices and learn to make better ones. I need to take care of my health, work on self growth and take time to be OK with being alone. I care for Tom and I don’t want to label anything or predict what lies ahead. Right now I need to heal.”
Sandoval, however, faced backlash when his initial response to the controversy didn’t mention his ex-girlfriend.
He later issued a second statement toward Ariana, writing, via Instagram on March 7, “I want to first and foremost apologize to everyone I’ve hurt through this process. Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana. I made mistakes, I was selfish and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly. I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us. I feel really horrible about that. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends.”
Ariana, for her part, broke her silence after originally taking a break from social media.
“Hi. where to begin? i want to express my most sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support i have received from friends, family, and people i’ve never even met in the last two weeks,” the Florida native captioned an Instagram post on Thursday, March 16. “When i have felt like i couldn’t even stand, you all have given me the strength to continue and seen me through my darkest hours. to say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement. however, i know that i am not in this alone.”
She continued: “So many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels. i am so f—king lucky to have the best support system in the world and i hope i can repay every single person for the love you have shown me. what doesn’t kill me better run. love, ariana.”
The Vanderpump Rules cast will be reuniting later this month to film the season 10 reunion.
Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
