Where were you when Scandoval dropped? To find out why one cheating scandal dominated the zeitgeist in 2023, we have to go back in time. Ten years ago, Scheana Shay walked out of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and into the first ever episode of Vanderpump Rules, creating an unholy lineage of mistresses that spans all the way to the now infamous March 3rd, 2023 TMZ headline: “TOM SANDOVAL & ARIANA MADIX CALL IT QUITS … Allegations He Cheated With Costar Raquel Leviss.” Meet the Cool Girl Ariana Madix and the endearing but toxic Tom Sandoval – Vanderpump’s most reliable couple. Until they weren’t.
