‘Vanderpump Rules’: During their third and last season reunion, Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval both start crying.
The third and last episode of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules reunion on Tuesday had tears from both Ariana Madix and her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval.
After watching the last seconds of the season 11 finale together to gauge each other’s reactions in real time, the reunion that was filmed in March caused them to become emotional.
In the season finale, Ariana, 38, disrespected Sandoval, 41, by refusing to shoot with him. Sandoval wanted to apologize to Ariana live for cheating on her with Rachel ‘Raquel’ Leviss, 29, who has since launched a revenge porn case against him.
‘I’m scared,’ Katie Maloney, 37, said.
Host Andy Cohen, 55, then rolled the tape showing the scene where Ariana insisted she didn’t want to film or speak to Sandoval on camera and then Sandoval flipping out saying: ‘If you don’t want to film with your ex like don’t be on the show!’ Seriously, don’t sit back on your lazy a** and collect a f***ing check for doing nothing.’

Then the clip showed Sandoval telling the cast and the show’s executive producer that Ariana ‘ f***ing talked s*** about all of you f***ers. She doesn’t show up for your s***.’
Lala Kent, 33, then said: ‘This happened to her, the world rallied around her. She now thinks she is Beyonce. It’s bulls*** she can’t film with someone that she stays under the same roof!’
After the clip played, Andy asked Ariana for her reaction.
‘A lot of what was said was really hurtful,’ Ariana said. ‘The hurt I felt I felt so deeply and I’m not here for him putting on the waterworks thing.’
‘You know me well enough to know that this is not acting,’ Sandoval declared.
‘I don’t though,’ Ariana said, beginning to cry.
‘You knew me,’ Sandoval said crying.
Sandoval then broke down sobbing.

‘If you don’t want to film with your ex like don’t be on the show!’ Seriously, don’t sit back on your lazy a** and collect a f***ing check for doing nothing,’ Tom was shown ranting during the finale as Lala Kent looked on
‘I don’t believe that!’ Ariana said, crying. ‘I don’t believe that. And when you didn’t get what you wanted, what you said about me to try to triangulate…’
‘You were saying it about me this whole summer!’ Sandoval said.
‘What would I have said about you this summer?’ Ariana said.
‘You know that’s not true,’ Sandoval said.
‘But I didn’t do anything to you,’ Ariana said crying. ‘You didn’t get what you wanted and that’s how you reacted!…You proved me exactly right! All I wanted, …I just want, …I just want you away from me! I just want you gone. And I don’t want to be in a position where I’m being forced …’
‘That is our job!’ Sandoval said. ‘And I’m sorry. I did come to you off camera numerous times.’
‘I’m not forced to do anything,’ Ariana said. ‘No, you did not come to me off camera.’
‘I wanted to talk to you,’ Sandoval said.
‘I don’t believe that!’ Ariana said, crying. ‘I don’t believe that. And when you didn’t get what you wanted, what you said about me to try to triangulate…’
‘That is our job!’ Sandoval said. ‘And I’m sorry. I did come to you off camera numerous times’
‘When I came home from San Francisco you were sitting there on the f***ing couch eating takeout and I was in the kitchen doing something,’ Ariana said. ‘Whatever needed to be said in San Francisco could have been said right there in that moment and wasn’t said.’
Ariana said she didn’t know who he was.
‘That is the consequences of your actions towards me,’ Ariana said.
‘Obviously our relationship wasn’t perfect,’ Sandoval said.
‘I know it wasn’t perfect,’ Ariana said. ‘How could it be.’
‘I just want to say to you that I am sorry,’ Sandoval said. ‘I’m not asking you to forgive me. I know you won’t. I know you don’t want to be around me. Whatever our relationship was, the good, the bad, whatever you did, whatever I did, it doesn’t matter. You didn’t deserve that. And I’m really sorry. From the bottom of my heart, Ariana. I regret it every f***ing day. I wear it as a badge of shame. I did the thing that I said I would never do to you, and I did it.’
‘You also brought a f***ing person into both of our lives in a very f***ed up way, and this b**** f***ing has to talk about me all the time,’ Ariana said crying. ‘And you did that!’
‘I feel really bad about that,’ Sandoval said.

‘I feel really bad about that,’ Sandoval said
‘I just want to be away from you!’ Ariana said.
‘We will figure everything out,’ Sandoval said crying. ‘We have our lawyers. I understand.’
Ariana cried and said what Lala said also really hurt her feelings. Lala said she stood by what she said.
‘I don’t think I’m Beyonce,’ Ariana said.
Ariana said her walking away was a better ending to the season for Lala.
Lala got up and said she was the only one who was honest and was frustrated by the end of the season.
Lisa Vanderpump, 63, stood up for Ariana and said she had shown up for the show.
When the show opened, Andy asked Ariana if she thought she would ever be in a room with Sandoval and have a civil conversation.
‘We will figure everything out,’ Sandoval said crying. ‘We have our lawyers. I understand’
‘I don’t think I’m Beyonce,’ Ariana said
Lala said she stood by what she said
‘At this point, no, I don’t feel comfortable with that,’ Ariana said
Ariana said she just had to let herself process what happened.
‘Last summer was really, really difficult,’ Ariana said. ‘And I felt like as much as I think people were coming from a place of care, I felt like I was being pushed to be further along than I was ready for.’
Andy turned the conversation to Jax Taylor and asked Katie Maloney about the cheating rumors that she heard about him.
‘Just, like, he was hooking up with a waitress or something about bathroom 𝓈ℯ𝓍,’ Katie said.
‘There’s a lot of them,’ Lala said.
Scheana Shay, 39, said for a second she thought the rumors were true but then knew that Brittany Cartwright had Jax’s passwords and went through his DMs and found nothing. Lala said Brittany has been open with her that she and Jax have not been intimate for some time.

‘From my experience if you’re not f***ing him, someone else is,’ said Lala, who split from her fiancé Randall Emmett, 53, amid cheating allegations.
Lala said she also didn’t appreciate Brittany calling her mother when she used their 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢sitter.
‘My 63-year-old f***ing mom is being questioned by a Kentucky muffin!’ Lala said.
Sandoval then shared that he did not mean to block Scheana’s daughter on social media, but just blocked Scheana and accounts associated with her.
‘I am also still blocked,’ Brock said.
‘I’ll unblock you,’ Sandoval said.
‘Were you on a major blocking spree?,’ Andy asked.
‘A little bit,’ Sandoval said.
Brock said he had seen Scheana being stuck in the middle between Ariana and Sandoval to keep her friendships.

‘I have been in her corner and supported her since day one with that,’ Ariana said. ‘Obviously this year was a little bit more difficult for us.’
Scheana said she wasn’t jealous of Ariana, but that she just felt left out when Ariana got all these opportunities.
‘I wanted to be on the journey with her,’ Scheana said.
‘Scheana’s family,’ Ariana said. ‘You are never not going to be family.’
Andy asked Katie if she thought Sandoval contributed to her divorce with Tom Schwartz, 41. She said when someone speaks ‘negatively about you to your spouse how could they not start to think the same.’
‘He just doesn’t like me,’ Katie said.

‘It really hurts to have you diminish me to a subhuman thing that doesn’t deserve love,’ Sandoval said.
‘Well, I don’t think you have treated me very humanely either,’ Katie said. ‘Choke. I don’t care.’
Andy asked Ariana why her new boyfriend Daniel Wai when came to San Francisco on the cast trip didn’t participate in any group activities.
‘He’s not getting paid,’ Ariana said.
‘Well, he’s still your boyfriend,’ Andy said. ‘Brock didn’t get paid at the beginning. He’s still here.’
‘He doesn’t want to be on this show,’ Ariana said.
Scheana said she only encouraged Sandoval to apologize to Ariana because she kept saying during the season that he never really apologized to her.

‘I was like okay so you still need this to heal,’ Scheana said. ‘Because I felt she needed an apology which I now realize she did not want.’
Scheana cried and said Lala has been her rock and that navigating the season has been challenging and she had been afraid to speak up. At the end of the show, Andy had them toast with Something About Her Sandwiches.
Lala, however, was still upset and cried in the dressing room and said she didn’t feel she had been treated the same as Ariana.
Vanderpump Rules premiered on Bravo on in January 2013 as a spin-off of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
