All the Drama from Vanderpump Rules season 11
The recent drama on Vanderpump Rules revolves around Tom Sandoval, a long-standing cast member and protagonist. The drama was around Sandoval's infidelity, as he cheated on his former girlfriend of nearly nine years, fellow cast mate Ariana Madix, with Raquel Leviss, another star of the show and Madix's best friend.
The current media frenzy surrounding the show stems from Ariana Madix discovering the affair in March 2023, after the show had already started airing. The alleged affair between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss began in August 2022, coinciding with the filming of season 10.
This means that during production, Sandoval and Leviss were engaged in a romantic affair, seemingly unbeknownst to their fellow Vanderpump Rules stars and the production team.
After TMZ exposed the drama, fans were captivated by the revelation that Sandoval and Leviss were having an affair while deceiving their friends and castmates. This has resulted in some of the most gripping and cringe-worthy scenes in the history of reality TV.
When Vanderpump Rules debuted in 2013, the cast comprised aspiring Hollywood hopefuls working in restaurants. Fast forward to today, and they've undeniably made it, thanks to the show.
