During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen (WWHL) Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent spoke about Scandoval. She answered the host's questions about the Vanderpump Rules scandal that shook the cast as well as the fan base when it was brought to light in March 2023. It was revealed that Tom Sandoval had been cheating on his long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix with their cast mate Raquel Leviss.
Andy Cohen and the WWHL voters asked Lala who she thought was more remorseful between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss during the show's reunion. Andy also mentioned that Tom was quite emotional during the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion that was aired on Wednesday, June 7, 2023.
Lala Kent said that it was hysterical to watch as it reminded her of her ex Randall Emmett when he tried to cry for her. After she called her ex the person "whose name we shall not mention," Lala said that Sandoval's behavior was just as hilarious to her.
She even went on to call Tom a "narcissistic prick." Tom's affair with Raquel and not telling her about it for several months, coupled with his tears at the reunion for the backlash led Lala to call Tom a narcissist.
As mentioned earlier, Tom and Raquel's affair became public in March 2023. Since then, there have been lots of confessions, drama, and insights revealed about the cheating scandal that took place during Vanderpump Rules season 10.
