Ariana Madix Says She’s ‘Disgusted’ With Schwartz, Shades Raquel’s Pageants

Ariana Madix didn’t miss a beat during her first post-Scandoval interview, and she continued to take no prisoners on the Watch what happens live with Andy Cohen aftershow on Wednesday 17 May.

After a viewer inquired about a scene between Tom Schwartz And Tom Sandoval from the April 26 episode of Vanderpump Rulesthe 37-year-old Something About Her co-owner made it clear she wasn’t happy with how Schwartz, 41, handled Sandoval, 40, and Rachel Levissaffair.

“That was the first thing I saw after not seeing the show for weeks,” Ariana said when she saw the two Toms claim she rejected Sandoval’s feelings in their relationship and debate. Raquel, 28, had a crush on someone within the group. “That was the first time I cried in a long time, because it disgusted me to the core to see Tom Schwartz in full cosign and alley-oop.”

As fans may recall, Sandoval had already slept with Raquel at least once when he filmed the aforementioned scene with Schwartz – and he told his business partner about the rashness. The former beauty pageant contestant had also kissed Schwartz Scheana Shay‘s wedding.

“I don’t think it was just cover, I think it actively participated in my demise,” Ariana previously said of Schwartz WWHL.

During another segment, Ariana shared Andy Cohen that the most chilling thing to watch back from season 10 was “the fabrication of the story that was formed, like going behind my back all the time without my knowledge, not only my ex-boyfriend but also his little flying monkeys. … Tom Schwartz, mainly.”

Us weekly confirmed in March that Ariana discovered Sandoval had been having a months-long affair with Raquel. The revelation led to the end of their nine-year relationship.

“My family considered him family and now they hate him,” Ariana told Cohen during the aftershow. “He sent a very cringing text message to my brother and my brother said, ‘This man is dead to me.’”

Ariana’s friendship with Raquel also came to an end and when asked about it Lisa Vanderpump‘s remarks that Sandoval ‘couldn’t resist the beauty queen’ cast shade on the SURver’s spectacle.

“She’s never won an election,” Ariana declared. ‘I mean, I was there. … I made gestures to cry out loud!

During Wednesday’s finale, viewers saw the immediate aftermath of Ariana and their group of friends learning about the affair. Raquel and Sandoval also filmed a scene together and exchanged “I love you”.

“I can’t predict the future,” Sandoval said in a confessional. “Maybe Raquel and I will be okay and maybe not, but when I kissed Raquel, I felt hope. I was like, ‘Wait a minute, you didn’t wash up [and] your best days are not behind you.’”

While he has since hit the road with his cover band, Raquel is currently seeking mental health treatment.

The three-piece Vanderpump Rules reunion kicks off Wednesday, May 24 at 9 p.m. ET.

Watch What Happens live with Andy Cohen airs Sunday through Thursday nights on Bravo and is available the next day on Peacock.
