Ooof. It seems that even before Ariana Madix discovered Tom Sandoval had been cheating on her with their Vanderpump Rules costar Raquel Leviss, she could sense a bit of chemistry between them.
In a newly released deleted scene from last week’s episode of Vanderpump Rules—which was set during Scheana Shay’s wedding—the 37-year-old reality star caught a vibe while chilling in a hot tub with Sandoval, 40, and Leviss, 28. “It looks like we’re a throuple,” she joked to her then boyfriend of nine years and former friend after the group posed for photos. “It looks like we’re in a throuple on a romantic vacay.”
After seeing the hot tub snaps, Leviss said, “These photos better never surface.” Hmm…I wonder why?
VPR’s Shay and Brock Davies tied the knot in Cancún, Mexico, in August 2022. Though Leviss’s kiss with Katie Maloney’s ex Tom Schwartz caused a fair amount of drama at the time, Bravo fans later learned that Leviss and Sandoval had been having an affair since that summer. Many even speculate that Leviss and Schwartz’s makeout session was an elaborate coverup (which Schwartz has denied).
Meanwhile, this week’s episode of the reality series, which aired on April 19, raised a bunch more red flags. Sometime between the wedding and the Scandoval of March 2023, Leviss’s former fiancé, James Kennedy, noted his ex’s closeness with both Toms after his girlfriend Ally Lewber told him she saw Sandoval and Leviss dancing at The Abbey in West Hollywood. “I thought it was kind of weird,” Lewber told Kennedy, per People. “It was like 1 a.m., and we were like, ‘Where’s Ariana?’”
During a confessional, Lewber added, “I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with it, I guess, to have my boyfriend out at 1 a.m. with girls, but everyone’s different.”
