The second part of the Vander Pump Rules The reunion special featured the first on-camera conversation between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss since Season 10 finished airing, and also updated viewers on the temporary restraining order Leviss filed against Scheana Shay after Sandoval cheated on her couple Ariana Madix.

After last week’s chaotic episode kicked off the highly anticipated three-part reunion of Bravo’s unscripted series, the cast returned for part two to chat with host Andy Cohen about the hotly debated controversy known as ” Scandoval”. As with last week’s installment, Leviss spent most of Wednesday’s new episode sequestered in a trailer due to his restraining order against Shay, while the show’s cast members, including Lala Kent, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz and Lisa Vanderpump, discussed things. scenery.

The proceedings began with Kent discussing his relationship with ex Randall Emmett, who has been at the center of his own controversy. Kent, who shares her daughter Ocean with the film producer, explained: “Obviously I look back and I know there were red flags everywhere, but I feel like I now have a 30,000 foot view of life. If something seems too good to be true, it is because it is.

At that time, the cast took a break from filming for lunch. The cameras followed Sandoval as she walked toward the Leviss trailer, and it was clear she didn’t like hearing what Madix said on last week’s episode about feeling like her years-long relationship with Sandoval had still been going strong until recently. .

“Just looking at what you guys recorded at this time, it sounds like you had this strong relationship,” Leviss told him. “I feel like she felt that you wanted to keep the relationship going because you never broke up with her.”

This led Sandoval to rethink the fact that he never ended his relationship with Madix before beginning his affair with Leviss. “Maybe we should have done this earlier?” Sandoval asked, to which Leviss replied: “Do you think so?”

She added: “It just sucks because my whole character is in question now. I’ve been through a transition phase in my life this summer, and I think the pendulum swung a little too far the other way. And this is my wake-up call.”

Then Sandoval and Leviss hugged goodbye and he walked out of the trailer, or so he wanted viewers to think. He was then heard telling someone on the crew, “Okay, I’m done filming.” Sandoval returned to the trailer and asked a crew member, “Can we have a real break where they don’t film us?”

A producer explained to Sandoval that he is free to take a break from filming if he is alone, but if he and Leviss plan to talk, the cameras will be rolling, just as they had been during the other cast members’ meal. Sandoval was not happy about this: “I don’t want a camera in my fucking face!”

After the break, during which it didn’t seem like Sandoval and Leviss were allowed to conspire away from the cameras, the cast returned to the stage, along with Kennedy’s girlfriend, Ally Lewber. The conversation led Sandoval and Kennedy to debate which of them is more out of control while drinking, with Sandoval stating, “I don’t punch girls in the butt.” This prompted Madix to quip, “No, you just fuck my friend.”

After Lewber left, Cohen mentioned that Leviss had filed a restraining order against Shay, and Sandoval claimed that he heard Shay say over the phone that she “hit” Leviss, which Shay denied. Viewers then saw footage of Cohen’s private conversation with Leviss, where he explained that he “completely” regrets filing the restraining order against Shay. Leviss asked Cohen to present Shay with paperwork revealing that Leviss had filed to have the order dismissed, and viewers saw Shay get emotional when Cohen delivered the news. (In fact, he was written off after the meeting was filmed.)

Shay said the order had affected not only her, but also her daughter. “The betrayal of two of my best friends, that’s heartbreaking in itself,” Shay said. “But then throwing all this on me when I did nothing but take care of [Leviss]. I gave him a home to live in when he had nowhere to go.”

Sandoval tried to say that the situation “got out of control,” but that did not mean that he had been a “fake person” until now, nor that he and Leviss were doing it “maliciously.” Madix responded: “Watch what you say right now, because is malicious.” This led Sandoval to object: “It’s malicious, but I didn’t do it with bad intentions.”

Madix continued: “You are disgusting. You [and Shay] we’re done being friends so don’t even worry about it. Go ahead, be the real you.”

To close out the episode, viewers watched footage of Cohen’s private conversation with Leviss. Cohen suggested that Leviss, by maintaining that Madix might have known about the affair, seemed to be placing the blame on Madix. “Now I know that she really wanted to know, and it was very deceptive,” Leviss admitted. “I’m very ashamed of that.”

And with Shay walking offstage, Leviss finally joined his co-stars. But unfortunately, fans will have to wait for the third part to see what happens.

Vander Pump Rules airs Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo. The reunion episodes, including the uncensored extended versions, air exclusively on Peacock the next day.
