SUR-ving up deceit.
Last week’s conclusion of the three-part “Vanderpump Rules” reunion exposed the true timeline of the headline-grabbing affair between cast members Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss, brilliantly dubbed Scandoval.
And while you’re likely still enraged over that comment about a T-shirt, a new week brings new clues about the betrayal, and the final word for now: Wednesday’s “Secrets Revealed,” which concludes the Bravo series’ 10th season, airs the lies the two told to keep their months-long liaison hidden from Ariana Madix, Sandoval’s girlfriend of nearly a decade and a close friend of Leviss, as well as the rest of the cast members.

Sandoval tells Madix his love for Leviss is ‘transparent’ post-affair
After Sandoval and Leviss began sleeping together, he and Madix went on a date to an outdoor roller rink. It’s the first date in “so long,” Madix says, since Sandoval has been bogged down with opening his restaurant Schwartz & Sandy’s.
“We needed to have fun together,” Madix tells her boyfriend between kisses. “Last week was awful.” Sandoval seems infatuated with Madix, telling his girlfriend, “It’s a lovely dance of hot and cute that you do.”
On the date, Madix brings up fellow “VPR” star Katie Maloney’s dislike of Leviss.

“I said to Katie, ‘You’re going to have to work really hard to get me to not just absolutely love Raquel,” says Madix. “I love her so much, and we’ve spent so much time together on trips. We really have this really beautiful little friendship family. Them saying stuff like ‘Well, I wouldn’t trust Raquel around my man’ (to which Sandoval raises an eyebrow), I’m like, ‘We’ve all stayed in houses together.’”
“It’s like this transparent love that we have, all of us,” Sandoval says. “It’s not even a thought about it.”
Leviss says her being a homewrecker is ‘a little bit far-fetched’
Leviss also covers up the cheating when Scheana Shay asks about spending the night at Sandoval and Madix’s while Madix was away for her grandmother’s funeral.
Leviss tells Shay she suggested to Sandoval and Tom Schwartz that they take a dip in Sandoval’s jacuzzi. After having some drinks and passing out downstairs, Leviss says Sandoval suggested she spend the night in the guest bedroom.
“I guess I should’ve said that I didn’t stay over,” Leviss says nervously. But Shay disagrees, saying Sandoval’s denial that Leviss spent the night raises suspicions.
“I think what’s weird is everyone trying to make it like you, our friend, are going to secretly do something with one of our guys when we’re not there,” says Shay.
“It’s not like that,” Leviss says smiling. “We’re just friends… To paint the picture that I’m some homewrecking whore is just a little bit far-fetched.”
Of course, we know from Part 3 of the reunion that Leviss and Sandoval did hook up that night.
