Bravo gives first look at emergency ‘Scandoval’ filming after Tom, Raquel affair
The chaos following Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ shocking affair being exposed is set to appear in the current season of “Vanderpump Rules.”
Bravo took to social media on Monday night to give fans a behind-the-scenes look of James Kennedy filming a confessional earlier in the day.
The clapperboard, which was held in front of the DJ’s face, revealed that the scene was called “Scandoval” and would be part of Season 10 of the show.
“We have resumed filming on #PumpRules and this story will be unfolding on camera,” the network captioned the snapshot.
“THIS season right?!?!!” one person asked, while another said, “You need to seriously extend the season by about 10 episodes or more. This is going to be crazy.”
“We are going to need this season to air asap we can NOT wait a year,” a third added.
The sudden change in the filming schedule comes as the cast is also getting ready to film the reunion episode in two weeks.
“VPR” fans were sent into a frenzy last week after Page Six confirmed Sandoval had been cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix for “months” with Leviss.
Madix found out the pair were having a “full-on affair,” according to insiders, after seeing a sexually explicit video of Leviss on her now ex-boyfriend’s phone during his March 1 concert.
After dumping him, the pair sat down to discuss the betrayal while cameras were rolling, leaving Madix feeling “gaslit” by Sandoval.
“He gave her several excuses as to why he never copped to cheating,” an insider told Page Six, adding that Sandoval claimed to be protecting her “mental health” by keeping the affair a secret.
Camera crews were also reportedly present on Saturday night when Sandoval visited Leviss’ Los Angeles apartment for a late-night rendezvous.
Another source also told that Sandoval and Leviss, 28, started their romance “last summer” and that they even had sleepovers “when Ariana’s been out of town.”

Co-star James Kennedy, who was previously engaged to Leviss, also corroborated that information, saying the affair started “7 months” ago and that the pair would even get busy while “Ariana [was] sleeping.”
Kennedy — along with many other “VPR” stars — has been very outspoken about “Scandoval” ever since the news broke last week.
The 31-year-old shared a screenshot of the original TMZ report to his Instagram and wrote, “Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything.”
“Just wait,” he added, “read it and weep. Toms [sic] a f–king creep.”
Co-star Lala Kent also sent a warning to Sandoval, whom she’s had an ongoing feud with for years.
“I’ve seen you for who you are for a long time, and you don’t like that,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “But, I think now is the time for you to shut the f–k up. I’m eating good the next time I see you.”
It looks like fans might get to see exactly what Lala had to say a lot sooner than expected.
