In wake of Tom Sandoval-Raquel Leviss' cheating scandal and its associated confessional drama, the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion made headlines everywhere. Three parts of the reunion were released over the course of the season's end, and the final part, released on Wednesday, June 7, covered many revelations about the duo's affair that rocked the entire reality TV universe.
Tom Sandoval made a hot spot for himself at the reunion's 3rd part after host Andy Cohen asked if he had slept with anyone during his affair with Raquel. Tom sarcastically mentioned getting intimate with his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix while she was wearing a t-shirt.
This statement offended not only the cast members present at the reunion but many fans as well. Despite being a topic of much discussion, Tom only recently clarified regarding what he meant by that statement.
During his Wednesday, June 14 statement to a media outlet, Tom Sandoval mentioned how people made up their own meaning to the statement he gave, as well as how he's “never body-shamed Ariana ever.”
“It had nothing to do with her body or anything. It had to do with someone being very unenthusiastic. … Like, if somebody wanted to have s*x with me and I just unzipped my zipper and said, like, ‘Oh, hurry up, I gotta meet somebody for lunch.’ It was more about the unenthusiasm,” Sandoval added.

In the third part of Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion, host Andy Cohen asked Tom if he slept with anyone else while having an affair with Raquel Leviss, despite being in a long-term relationship with Ariana. In response to this, he replied with a "no."
Both Ariana and castmate Lala Kent gave examples to support their assumptions. Tom simultaneously responded by asking where the duo's information came from. Ariana Madix then described how Tom "just slept with [her]" while having an affair with Raquel. To this, he quipped:
“She kept her T-shirt on. It was really hot.”
