Bravo Confirms the 'Vanderpump Rules' Cheating Scandal Will Be in Season 10
All that transpired from the '#Scandoval' will soon be a part of the Bravo canon.
The world of Vanderpump Rules was turned upside down when it was revealed that Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, broke up over his affair with co-star Raquel Leviss.
Now, Bravo officially confirmed that they are still filming for Season 10 and the fallout of the cheating scandal will air in the current season.
Bravo's Instagram account shared a photo of cast member James Kennedy behind a clapperboard on the show's set, along with the short message, "We have resumed filming on #PumpRules and this story will be unfolding on camera."
Looking closer at the photo, you can see that it says "#Scandoval" for the scene, with "Season 10" written below.

Many fans of the reality series thanked Bravo for filming the scandal, with comments saying things like, "You are doing the Lord’s work" and "Thank you for your service!"
Quite a few also hoped that production doesn't push Madix into anything uncomfortable or extra stressful for the show, with one fan writing, "Yes to all of this but please give ??Ariana space if she requests it. Roast those who shall not be named."
On Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, this week, Cohen shared that he believes the affair began during BravoCon, as Sandoval and Leviss have reportedly been secretly seeing each other for the last six months.
When asked whether or not he thinks the two will be at the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion, Cohen said, "I do, yeah they’re coming. I believe they’ll be there."

Cohen went on to say that he thinks Sandoval and Leviss are officially a couple now, saying, "It is my understanding that they are still [seeing each other]. But I can’t say that as fact – that’s what I’ve gathered from my intelligence.”
Fans watching Vanderpump Rules Season 10 after news of the affair came out might see episodes in a different light, with Cohen also noting, "When you watch the rest of the season of Vanderpump Rules with the overlay of knowing that Raquel and Sandoval — what’s happened with them, and what was possibly happening then — it’s really shocking."
New episodes of Vanderpump Rules air Wednesday nights via Bravo and the current season is streaming on Hulu with Live TV.
