Vanderpump Rules has gotten progressively more unhinged with each episode that has aired since the Scandoval broke. And Tom Sandoval’s history as a cheater is showing with the events of the most recent episode. Before he cheated on Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss, he cheated on Kristen Doute with Ariana. Kristen and Ariana are friends and the former hasn’t held a grudge, calling the two situations completely different. She’s been very involved in the aftermath of Scandoval’s reveal and appeared on Watch What Happens Live this week and revealed that Tom Sandoval has cheated on Ariana before, multiple times.
Tonight was quite the moment for true Vanderpump Rules scholars, as it marks the return of Kristen Doute. The former SUR server started Vanderpump Rules dating Tom Sandoval, only for both of them to cheat on each other and break up. Doute was fired from the show after it came to light that she and Stassi Schroeder had called the cops on former castmate Faith Bowers. Now Doute has returned amid the Scandoval. She told Andy Cohen that since news broke of Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss, multiple other instances of Tom’s cheating have been brought to her attention. Doute commented on the similarities between how Sandoval talked about Madix during his and Doute’s protracted breakup and how he is now talking about Leviss. She referred to a TikTok that did a side-by-side comparison where Tom used the same keywords to describe his attraction: “‘Magnetic, we kissed, the sunrise, best friend,’ blah blah blah. It was verbatim, the same thing.”
Kristen also pointed out that not only did Tom cheat again, but he followed the same pattern when he cheated on Ariana with Raquel as when he cheated with Ariana on Kristen. He sort of gushes about and tries to justify his cheating with flowery language. Ugh, so skeezy. Anyway, considering his history with Ariana and Kristen and recent events with Raquel, it’s not so surprising that Tom cheated on Ariana at other points throughout their nine year relationship. I think the surprising part is (a) how awful he was at hiding it based on the latest episode and (b) the fact that he and Raquel were so flagrant about it. Clearly Ariana had a lot of trust in him and wanted to believe the best of him (and Raquel) which is why he felt comfortable being so obvious, but just because your girlfriend trusts you doesn’t mean everyone else does. It was a huge mistake for him to believe anyone aside from the person that loved him would believe his BS. Anyway, Ariana seems to be doing well. She’s still hanging out with her hottie Coachella hookup and hit a Yankees game with him recently. Enjoy your life sans mustache, girl!
