Andy Cohen Orders ‘Vanderpump Rules’ to Resume Filming so New “Scandoval” Cheating Drama Can Be Captured

If you’re as tuned into the “Scandoval” buzz as we are, fear not: there’s more on the way. All of the wild drama will apparently be included in Vanderpump Rules Season 10. 

The official Bravo TV Instagram account broke the news when they shared a photo on Monday (March 6) evening of Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy on set.

They captioned the post, “We have resumed filming on #PumpRules and this story will be unfolding on camera.”

If there was any confusion of what story the producers could possibly be talking about, the clapperboard even boldly reads “#Scandoval.”

Vanderpump Rules couple Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix split up after news broke that Sandoval had been having an affair with their co-star, Raquel Leviss, who used to be engaged to Kennedy. According to People, sources claim that the affair between Leviss and Sandoval has been happening “for upwards of 6 months,” though Madix only seemed to learn of the affair last week. Bravo boss Andy Cohen even speculated that their affair was going on during BravoCon in October. 

“[Ariana] was completely blindsided by this; devastated doesn’t even scratch the surface of how she feels,” the source told People. 

This news comes just after Leviss caught some heat for kissing their Vanderpump co-star Tom Schwartz, Sandoval’s business partner who recently divorced Katie Maloney.

With filming resuming, fans can definitely expect to see this scandal unfold on-screen. People reported that the crew filmed a sit-down between Madix and Sandoval on Friday, shortly after the news broke. Camera crews were also present to capture Sandoval visiting Leviss’ apartment in Los Angeles. 

Sandoval released a statement on Instagram over the weekend, where he wrote, “I fully understand and deserve your anger and disappointment towards me.”

Much of the show’s cast have also come forward on social media to voice their support for Madix. 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff series has devolved into a mess of cheating scandals over its 10 seasons, but “Scandoval” seems to be taking the cake. It leaves us wondering what Leviss’ future on the show could look like, considering her impact on both Maloney and Madix’s relationships.

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 is currently airing on Bravo. It originally focused on Schwartz and Maloney’s amicable divorce, but will end with the aftermath of this bombshell development.
