Vanderpump Rules Reunion: Ariana Madix cries while confronting Tom Sandoval over scandalous affair

The Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion kicked off on Wednesday with host Andy Cohen digging into the Scandoval affair.

Part one of the reunion opened with Andy, 54, for the first time at a reunion holding separate interviews ‘with the principals of the scandal to hear their sides of the story.’

A title card read, ‘For Tom Sandoval, it was one final chance to come clean.’

‘Kind of feels like you’re the most hated man on television right now,’ Andy told Sandoval.

‘Yeah, yeah,’ Sandoval, 40, admitted.

Andy next spoke with Ariana, 37, and asked how she was doing.

‘Um, I’m a lot better now than I was, let’s say, like, two or three weeks ago,’ Ariana said.

A title card read: ‘For Ariana, it was a moment to share her experience.’

Andy told Ariana that she looked great and asked about her current living situation with Sandoval after they bought a house together in the Valley Village area of Los Angeles.

‘He’s been staying in the guest room, and I avoid run-ins at all costs. We have people running interference and go-betweens to prevent that,’ Ariana said.

Andy separately asked Raquel, 28, how she was feeling about seeing everyone again.

‘I don’t know. I’m just preparing for the worst, um, hoping for the best,’ Raquel said.

Ariana revealed that it took 48 hours for Raquel to text that she was sorry.

‘And I said, ”F** off, you f***ing rat” and I blocked her,’ Ariana said.

Tom and Ariana split in March after she learned of his affair with Raquel while supporting him at a concert by his band Tom Sandoval And The Most Extras.

Ariana found a raunchy incriminating selfie video from Raquel on his phone and confronted Raquel who admitted to the secret affair with Sandoval.

Raquel at the time was in New York City for a joint appearance on Watch What Happens live with Scheana Shay.

Scheana admitted that she exploded in anger at Raquel when she learned about the affair and shoved her. Raquel later filed a restraining order against Scheana that forced them to keep their distance while filming the reunion.
