Rachel Leviss and Tom Sandoval have been controversial figures since Vanderpump Rules Season 10’s end. At first, it seemed the two might stand by each other in their controversy.
Instead, the two broke off, with Rachel firmly against Tom. And despite some mixed feelings showcased in Season 11, Tom is now firmly against Rachel as well.
In fact, Tom might be overcompensating in his attacks against Rachel. And, naturally, there’s a perceived dose of hypocrisy as well. But if that ain’t Tom …
Lala says Rachel and Tom were braver than Ariana
On May 8, Bravo released the first seven minutes of its upcoming VPR Season 11 reunion. In the sneak preview, one of the first topics of discussion was Rachel. Andy Cohen asked if anybody regretted the way they spoke to Rachel at last year’s reunion. Ariana Madix said she stood by her words. “I had the courage to stand up to my perpetrators,” she said. “I cannot believe I even showed up that day.”
Andy pointed out it was probably difficult for Rachel to show up as well. To that point, Lala Kent mentioned that Ariana had a support system at the time. “For Tom and Raquel to show up? Now that? I was like, ‘Damn, I consider myself a tough b*tch.’” But ultimately, Lala said she would not have come to the reunion if she were in Rachel or Tom’s position.
Tom, however, interjected to say, “Looking back, I think she’s a f*cking coward. Like, I’m sorry to say it.” Ariana and Lisa Vanderpump let shocked expressions slip, with the latter even shaking her head. Tom continued, “I think her sitting here, preaching [to] everybody about like, she’s moving on, but still talking relentlessly about me and everybody is just f*cking ridiculous.”
The Vanderpump Rules Season 11 reunion begins on May 14 at 8/7c on Bravo.
