The Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion trailer has officially debuted, and no one was prepared for the Scandoval.
If you haven’t been keeping up, Tom Sandoval recently admitted to cheating on long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix with their co-star – and her close friend – Raquel Leviss, with their affair revealed in March.
The cast was shaken by the revelation, and Bravo cameras returned to record the repercussions for the last episode of the current season.
Bravo has produced a dramatic preview of the three-part reunion, which will broadcast on May 24, ahead of next week’s finale, which will reveal the moment the former couple go head to head.
‘I can’t think of two worse people,’ Ariana said through sobs. ‘I can’t.’
The tears didn’t last too long, as she later told her ex: ‘Don’t even f**king look at me. You don’t deserve to look at this.’

When Raquel conceded that she had been ‘super selfish’, her ex-pal spat: ‘Selfish does not cover it. Diabolical, demented, sub-human.’
At one point, she sought to defend herself from the fury of her castmates, arguing that James Kennedy and Lala Kent couldn’t speak since they had done similarly, which didn’t sit well with the duo.
‘Poo poo head. Both of you, poo poo heads,’ James fumed before things got heated as Tom threatened him.
Having none of it, the DJ fumed: ‘I will f**k you up so quickly, Tom. You’re a worm with a moustache.’
The dramatic events had host Andy Cohen scratching his head, alleging that his cards had been thrown into the melee.
Towards the conclusion of the clip, Tom seems to walk off set and urge the production team to stop filming him, complaining that he and Raquel were being portrayed as ‘pathological liars’.
The tape finished with Andy firmly placing him in the hot seat, asking, ‘Tom, are you in love?’
May 24th cannot arrive fast enough.
The clip left fans speechless, and many went to social media to express their feelings.
Chrissy Teigen reacted to the presenter abandoning his questions by writing, ‘”MY CARDSSSSSSSSAH.”
‘MY GOOSEBUMPS HAVE GOOSEBUMPS HAVE GOOSEBUMPS,’ a viewer yelled.
‘Can’t even breathe,’ another agreed.
‘This. Has. Everything… the drama, the cards, the poopoo heads,’ one cheered.
Another praised: ‘@arianamadix gave us the insult of the century: diabolical demented sub human!’
A commenter added: ‘THE WAY THE WORLD JUST SHIFTED OFF ITS AXIS!!!!’
‘I’m physically shaking,’ an Instagram user enthused.
Honestly, same.
The Bravo programme crumbled earlier this year after the affair, called Scandoval, was uncovered, forcing Tom and Ariana’s nine-year romance to an end.
Since then, eagle-eyed viewers have been sifting through the new episodes with a magnifying glass, looking for Easter eggs or hints during production – with Jennifer Lopez among those weighing in.
After some speculated that the affair was staged to boost Vanderpump Rules ratings, Lala responded on her podcast, Give Them Lala, stating that the allegation is false.
‘When people say that this is staged, it’s not staged. This is not a staged thing’,’ the 32-year-old fumed. ‘Ariana didn’t sit with a producer and go, “Yeah, I’m okay with my life blowing up for ratings.” None of it is staged.
‘It’s gut-wrenching, and I think anyone who says this was all staged for a storyline, in this episode, you’re going to see that this is very much real life.’
Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesdays on Bravo in the US – with a bumper reunion episode also on – and is available to stream on in the UK.
