Rachel Leviss Details Her First Hookup With Tom Sandoval While Ariana Madix Was Sleeping Nearby


Rachel Leviss had an affair with Ariana's now-ex, Tom Sandoval.

Leviss, who decided not to return for season 11, explained her decision, citing the emotional toll of interacting with Sandoval and feeling like an outsider among the cast. Right after Tom kissed me, he like sat on the stair of the pool and he was like, hands on his face, his mind must have been running a million miles a minute, contemplating what to do," she continued. The affair remained a secret for months, leading to a ratings boom for Vanderpump Rules when it was exposed in March 2023, ultimately ending Sandoval and Madix's longtime relationship.
