Wait, did he really just say that?
That was the question that seemed to be on the “Vanderpump Rules” casts’ minds during the highly anticipated third and final installment of the Season 10 reunion, which aired Wednesday night. The reunion saw Tom Sandoval make a crude quip about his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix after cheating on her with Madix’s former friend Raquel Leviss.
“You know who he did sleep with after him and Raquel started sleeping together? Me,” Madix told the panel, hosted by Andy Cohen, to which Sandoval sarcastically replied: “Yeah, she kept her t-shirt on. It was really hot.”
The comment, expectedly, prompted fiery backlash from the rest of the cast.
“You’re disgusting,” Lala Kent said. “This is your future, Raquel. I want you to know he’s going to talk to you like this too.”
The final episode of the three-part reunion brought tearful apologies, fiery fights and shocking confessions. Here are the highlights.
Tom Sandoval tells irate Ariana Madix that ‘we don’t live our lives by logic’
Madix did not hold back in letting Sandoval and Leviss know exactly how she feels about their betrayal, unleashing an expletive-laden, albeit syntactically creative tirade, near the top of the episode.
“You’re disgusting, and I wish nothing but the worst (expletive) that can ever happen to a person on you,” she said.
Tom’s reply drew laughter from the panel.
“The thing is, we don’t live our lives by logic,” he said. “Feelings took over.”
Raquel Leviss says she ‘felt seen and heard’ by Tom Sandoval, apologizes to Ariana Madix
After arriving in the studio, Leviss admitted she almost skipped coming to the reunion.
“I’m so ashamed and embarrassed that I’m even capable of keeping this secret from somebody who has been in my corner since the beginning,” Leviss said. “Ariana, I am so sorry for betraying you. I can’t even fathom the pain that I caused you. I have been completely selfish, and you’re right: Selfish isn’t even the right word, because it doesn’t even begin to describe the state of mind I have been in.”
She continued: “It was a mistake. The way it was handled was a complete mistake. The way that we have betrayed the people closest to us was detrimental to all of your friendships, and I’m seeing all of the consequences for my actions that I never even considered because I was living in the moment.”
Why’d she do it, Cohen asked.
“Tom and I had this connection,” Leviss replied. “I felt seen and heard by him.”
Leviss added: “I’ve been a people-pleaser my whole life, and I dropped that mentality, and I started only pleasing myself.”
Ariana Madix calls Raquel Leviss a ‘dementor’
That explanation didn’t do much for Madix, who channeled her inner British fantasy author for a “Harry Potter”-themed insult.
“My dog had just died. I cried in your (expletive) arms,” Madix said. “You’re a (expletive) psychopath. You are terrifying to me as a person. … You’re a dementor. … You’re a soul-sucking individual, and I will, after today, never see or speak to you ever again, and I will be better for it.”
Then Cohen asked Leviss and Sandoval a bombshell: Are they in love? They both said yes.
“Honestly, that’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard,” Madix said.

At the end of the episode, Sandoval wept while pleading for empathy.
“Understand that I’m a human,” he said. “I make mistakes. I make (expletive) terrible mistakes. I hurt somebody I’ve never loved ever more in my entire life. Ariana, I know that you hate me, and it’s OK. I understand, but I want you to know that I will always love you, and I will always be cheering you on from afar. Always.”
Madix’s final thoughts?
“I will not forgive him, and I will not be cheering him on from afar,” she said.

That wasn’t all. The episode ended with a final interview with Leviss conducted six days after the reunion taping.
She said she wanted to come clean about something else.
During the reunion, Sandoval denied he and Leviss ever had sex in the home he shared with Madix. This wasn’t true, Leviss said.
“This is the one story we’ve agreed on getting straight, and I know that the reason why Tom wanted to lie about it is because it’s a really bad look to hook up with someone’s boyfriend in their own house when they’ve gone out of town, especially for a funeral of all things,” Leviss said through tears. “I don’t know if this has (expletive) killed my soul. I am so sick of lying. I hate it. I hate being deceitful. It’s horrible.”
Leviss didn’t say which funeral specifically, but the most recent season of “Vanderpump Rules” referenced Madix traveling out of town without Sandoval for her grandmother’s funeral.
