Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion saw Ariana Madix bashing Tom Sandoval for cheating on her with her close friend Raquel Leviss. While netizens supported Ariana throughout the Scandoval drama, some fans called it "karma" for her. Before Sandoval and Ariana, the TomTom co-owner used to date Kristen Route, who claimed he cheated on her with the actress/singer.

Twitter users thus compared Ariana’s situation with what she did to Kristen in the past.

Interestingly, Kristen supported Ariana after Tom Sandoval’s cheating news came out in the open. She even made an appearance in the Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale, helping the actress heal from Scandoval.


Netizens believed history repeated itself on Vanderpump Rules

Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval had always denied Kristen Doute’s accusations of cheating. However, in Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion Part-2, Ariana pointed out that Sandoval used to coach her about their story and timeline when he parted ways with Kristen.

In a one-on-one interview, Andy Cohen asked Ariana whether she was hiding some elements of her relationship with Sandoval from the public eye. She responded:

“I feel like I have always showed everything, from my point of view. He [Sandoval] is framing it now as like something else. Because he has to…he is desperate. He will throw anything at the wall right now hoping that it will stay. Because he is the one who used to tell me, he coached me on this, the same way he is coaching Rachel [Raquel].”

Andy further asked what Sandoval was coaching Raquel about. Ariana Madix said that he would coach the model on how to get their stories straight and how to lie.

Another moment from Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion Part-2 that fans pointed out was when Ariana didn’t allow Tom Schwartz to give her seat to Raquel so that the latter and Sandoval can sit together. Fans recalled that Kristen asked for the same thing when she was in Ariana’s position.

For Part-1 and Part-2, Ariana Madix and fellow cast members expressed their anger towards Tom Sandoval. In Part-3, Raquel Leviss will receive their wrath.
