Vanderpump Rules fans have been eagerly awaiting the explosive Season 10 finale that airs this Wednesday on Bravo. Episode 15 promises to deliver a bombshell revelation as Ariana Madix confronts the devastating truth about her boyfriend Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Lewis. While the world learned about the scandal in March, the show will finally include the exposé in its highly anticipated final episode.
The official synopsis for the upcoming episode sets the stage for the emotional upheaval:
The cameras roll back when Ariana learns that her boyfriend of nine years is having an affair with one of her best friends; Schwartz panics when the scandal threatens to upstage his business; Sandoval comes forward with another shocking secret.”
Several previews, trailers, and sneak peeks have already been released, providing a glimpse into Ariana Madix’s heartbreaking discovery of her boyfriend’s infidelity. News of the affair broke in March, with reports that Ariana found intimate photos and videos of Raquel Lewis on Tom Sandoval’s phone, leading to the revelation. Since then, the cheating controversy involving Sandoval has been dubbed “Scandoval” by fans and the media.
In a recently released sneak peek, Ariana is seen confiding in Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay. Asked to share details, Ariana opened up:
“So I went to TomTom with Tom (Sandoval) because he had that party. I found a screen recording of them (Sandoval and Raquel) on FaceTime. It was literally from the night before. He (Tom) was at Schwartz.”
“That’s when I called Raquel and I started, like, tell me, like, ‘What the FK, when did this start?’ ‘Right after the girl’s visit,’ she said. I’m like, ‘You mean, like, after Charlotte dies.'”
Charlotte was the beloved dog of Ariana Madix who died while the girls were in Las Vegas. Concerned about her pet’s health, Ariana returns home, only to uncover the shocking truth about Sandoval’s infidelity.
“She (Raquel) said they kissed. Well, later that night when we were out here, I cornered Tom. She said they actually had sex in her car that night.”
As Ariana recounts the painful details, Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay look on, clearly shocked and in disbelief. In the first trailer for the Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale, Tom Sandoval and Raquel Lewis’ affair is brought to light. Sandoval admitted to Ariana that her friendship with the former pageant queen led to a deeper intimacy.
During the preview, cast members Lisa Vanderpump, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, and Lala Kent show their unwavering support for Ariana, while Tom Schwartz is the only person seen comforting Sandoval.
Adding to the excitement, the Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale trailer ends with the return of the show’s alum Kristen Doute. Kristen Sandoval had a previous girlfriend before Ariana, and she accused the then-TomTom co-owner of cheating on Ariana. The reason behind her return is unknown, which has created curiosity among the audience.
Fans can watch the dramatic Vanderpump Rules Season 10 finale airing Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at 9:00 PM ET on Bravo. Additionally, all episodes are available for streaming on Peacock. Brace yourself for a finale that will leave no Vanderpump Rules fan untouched.
