In the first "Pump Rules" trailer since "Scandoval," Ariana urges him "to die."
Exciting new episodes from “Vanderpump Rules” shows us more of the tension between Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, with Ariana saying she thinks Tom would be better off dead.
The trailer for the midseason episodes of season 10 was released by Bravo, with the spotlight obviously turning to Tom, Ariana, and Raquel Leviss. After a heated discussion over the end of their nearly 10-year relationship, Sandoval pulls open a cupboard and asks Madix, “You want anything?” Madix responds in a calm way. “For you to die.”
During the same emotional encounter, Sandoval tells Madix. “I wish we both would’ve tried harder.” But Ariana isn’t wasting her feelings on him, which is clear.
In another part of the video that will blow your mind, Madix and Sandoval talk openly about their sexual lives, with Sandoval saying that they only sleep together “like four times a year.”
Madix bluntly replies, although it is unclear whether that conversation occurred before or after she learned about the affair, “I cannot have sex with someone who feels like a stranger.”
Madix can be seen shouting at her ex in one clip. There’s even a quick glimpse of Tom crying. According to production sources, Sandoval offered many explanations for why he “never admitted to cheating.” Page Six revealed that Ariana realized Tom was cheating on her when she discovered a sexually explicit video shared by Raquel on his phone.
According to a source, Madix was “heartbroken” at the affair because she had “no idea there were any issues,” adding, “Ariana was taken aback by the infidelity.
The insider also said that they had recently been “affectionate in public.” In fact, just moments before she discovered the texts, Sandoval had raved about his connection with Madix, telling Page Six, “We definitely have our ups and downs for sure, but I think we’ve been really good about respecting each other.”
According to an informant, Leviss and Sandoval, had been “communicating inappropriately for months“ before the former beauty queen kissed his closest friend, Tom Schwartz, in August 2022. Their relationship is said to have “begun last summer,” with Leviss sleeping “at Tom and Ariana’s house when Ariana was out of town.
The new footage will be shown at the end of the current season, prior to the reunion, which takes place on Thursday. “Vanderpump Rules” airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
