What do they say about hindsight? And isn’t it amazing how many clues the Vanderpump Rules cast are picking up now that Tom Sandoval’s and Raquel Leviss’ illicit affair came to light? Lala Kent claimed Raquel’s bedroom galaxy lights were a “dead giveaway.” Katie Maloney thought her emotional distance from the pair made their betrayal more obvious.
Meanwhile, Scheana Shay’s wedding photos exposed a vital piece of evidence. Tom and Raquel didn’t give a specific timeline for their first hookup. It was reported that they were “communicating inappropriately” since July 2022. And evidence of an emotional affair was very clear in Scheana’s photos from August 2022.
Page Six reported that one of Scheana’s friends showed her a damning image of Tom and Raquel hanging out solo. During an Amazon Live, Scheana explained, “One of my girlfriends was like ‘So I was at the pool the morning of your wedding and I was just looking back at some of my photos and there’s literally one with Tom and Raquel in the background in a cabana just hanging out at the pool together.’”
Scheana filled the entire vacation with bridal activities. And that day, Sandoval, as Brock Davies’ groomsman, should have been in attendance. Yet there they were, lounging by the pool while Ariana Madix was performing bridesmaid duties for Scheana.
“They knew that Ariana was occupied with me as a good friend and a good bridesmaid so they took that time to hang out,” Scheana said. “It’s just so disgusting I mean I sometimes don’t even have words for it.”
While Scheana did not notice the questionable behavior at the time of her wedding, there were other “red flags” that she mentioned during her Scheananigans podcast. One was Raquel’s six-hour trek to watch Tom’s band, Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, perform. She also tried to keep the excursion under wraps. Scheana revealed, “It’s so crazy, because from that, then I started seeing things.”
Another red flag was Raquel turning off the location on her phone. An unusual move for her. Scheana said, “I noticed her location was off when I just went to see if she made it home safe one night because she didn’t respond to my text.”
“I’m like, ‘Hey, home safe?’ No response. I’m like, ‘Let me just check. Hmm, location not loading, not available, not available. Like, that’s weird. She must not have service,’” the “Good As Gold” singer added.
Scheana and the rest of the cast were given the chance to confront Raquel and Tom. And while the former beauty pageant queen claimed she was ready to “take accountability,” her performance at the reunion indicated nothing of the sort. Scheana said Raquel showed “no remorse.”
“The fact that she had not a single tear, no remorse. She sat at the reunion and did not shed one tear,” Scheana told Lala. Her VPR co-star appeared on the podcast recently. “No, I know. She actually smiled,” Lala opined. “It was scary. It was like watching the Joker.”
The Season 10 reunion is, by far, the most highly anticipated event in the show’s history. Host Andy Cohen had to react to a “brawl” between two cast members.
