Rachel Leviss Alleges Ariana Madix & Others Knew About Affair
Did Ariana Madix know Tom Sandoval was having an affair? Former Vanderpump Rules star – and Tom’s mistress – Rachel Leviss says yes. Keep reading for all the details on her shocking claim.
Was Scandoval Faked?
It’s been one year since #scandoval broke the internet and made headlines nationwide. News broke on March 3, 2023, that Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval had split up after he was caught cheating.
Ariana found out that her boyfriend of nine years was having an affair with their co-star, Rachel (Raquel) Leviss, after seeing explicit texts and videos.
The news quickly gained traction, with articles appearing in esteemed newspapers, including The New York Times. Just when the fervor was starting to die down, Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules premiered. Rachel didn’t return for Season 11, but it documents the fallout from the affair.
Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules had finished filming by the time the affair was exposed. However, Bravo cameras picked back up for one episode to film the cast reacting to the shocking turn of events.
As the scandal grew to epic proportions, rumblings began among Bravoholics, wondering if the entire scandal was a staged storyline. After all, the show was rumored to end with Season 10, but the scandal was ratings gold, ensuring another season of the long-running Bravo show.
Rachel Leviss Makes Shocking Claim In Court Filing
Rachel Leviss may be done with Vanderpump Rules, but she’s not done with Tom Sandoval or Ariana Madix. She filed a scathing lawsuit earlier this week over the explicit video Tom allegedly filmed of an intimate moment between the two. Ariana is mentioned in the lawsuit with claims that she sent the video to other people.
The court filing reveals behind-the-scenes details about the scandal that viewers didn’t know. For example, Rachel Leviss alleges that Ariana and production knew about the affair months before it was exposed by the press.
Radar Online dug into the court filings. Rachel claims that Ariana found about the affair in the Fall of 2022. Furthermore, she alleges that Tom’s long-time girlfriend scolded them both for “being handsy in public.”
According to Rachel, it wasn’t just Ariana who knew about the affair. The court filing alleges that the affair was “well-known to many cast members and suspected by others”
Why would Ariana Madix go along with keeping the affair secret? Rachel Leviss claims her co-star was “on the chopping block” and needed a storyline to stay on the show.

Neither Bravo nor Ariana Madix have commented on Rachel’s allegation that #scandoval was faked for television. Do you think Rachel is telling the truth about who knew about the affair earlier than the public was led to believe? Sound off in the comments.

I think it’s absolutely possible they knew or suspected. The way a cheating scandal brought everyone to a level of hysteria that was almost comical wasn’t exactly the way this group rides. Theyve all done it. Tom and Ariana weren’t intimate for ages. She didn’t want to get married or have kids and had her moment with Lala but that doesn’t seem to matter. Instead every woman who has been cheated on brought their angst to bear on Tom. Can’t we please be done with it and everyone stop being such hypocrites.
