We finally have our first sneak peek at the Vanderpump Rules season finale ��� and in it, Ariana Madix reveals that her (now former) boyfriend of nine years Tom Sandoval began sleeping with her close friend Raquel Leviss while she was grieving her dog.

In the clip, Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay get Madix’s side of the story as she tells them she found a sexually explicit “screen recording” of Sandoval and Leviss on his phone when it fell out of his pocket during his performance at TomTom. She reveals that the FaceTime video was taken the night before when he was at BFF and business partner Tom Schwartz‘s place, leaving his ex-wife Maloney shocked.

The former Sur bartender then details her follow-up call with Leviss, where she began grilling her for answers on how long the affair had been going on.

“She said, ‘Right after the girls trip.’ I’m like, ‘You mean, right after Charlotte died?’” Madix recalls.

If you remember, an emotional Madix left the trip immediately when she found out her dog wasn’t going to make it.

Leviss also ended up leaving Vegas early after getting into a heated spat with Maloney, Lala Kent and Kristina Kelly. Upon her return, she and Shay crashed the guys night at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles. And not long after, her relationship with Sandoval began.

According to Madix, Leviss admitted to kissing Sandoval — but when she later “pressed” the Schwartz and Sandy’s owner, she learned more of the story.

“He said, well they actually fucked in her car that night,” Madix said. “And he didn’t have a key to get in so he had to ring the doorbell and I had to let him in.”

She continued, “My emotions were clearly all over the place and he was angry at me. Angry. At me.”

The affair between Leviss and Sandoval first began in August 2022 before it was publicly revealed in March 2023, prompting cameras to resume filming. The season finale — which comes one week before the explosive reunion — is set to follow the aftermath of Scandoval.

Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. You can stream new episodes the following day on Peacock.
