Vander-butt rules?
Fans are convinced Tom Sandoval grabbed Rachel Leviss’ heinie in Wednesday’s episode — right after she kissed Tom Schwartz.
Several “Vanderpump Rules” viewers flocked to Twitter to accuse Sandoval of sneakily clawing Leviss’ caboose as soon as his now-ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix looked away.
Leviss, 28, proceeded to giggle, and some fans believe she may have even swatted 40-year-old Sandoval’s hand away.
“Um did tom really just grab rachel’s butt? 🤮 Really looks like he does and she swings her arm behind her back to swat it away. #PumpRules,” one person tweeted along with a short clip of the pre-Scandoval scene.
“SANDOVAL DEFINITELY GRABBED RACHEL’S ASS WHEN ARIANA LOOKED AWAY #PumpRules,” a second wrote.
“Ahhh I wasn’t sure if I had imagined that so sick,” a third responded.
“This whole scene was cringe and it felt like Ariana knew something was off,” a Madix supporter stated.
“Oh definitely some kind of touching/ grabbing going on there. Hadn’t noticed it at first. I was distracted by Sandoval’s hair,” another viewer savagely teased.
The apparent flirtation between the two Bravolebrities occurred moments after Leviss played tonsil hockey with Sandoval’s best friend, Schwartz, 40, at Scheana Shay’s Mexico wedding to Brock Davies in August 2022.
The possible butt-grab all but confirms Page Six’s exclusive report that Sandoval had been cheating on Madix, 37, since last summer.
An insider told us last month when the cheating scandal first made headlines that the lovers’ dalliance began around July 2022 and that Leviss “has slept over Tom and Ariana’s house when Ariana’s been out of town.”

Schwartz has since admitted that he knew about the secret lovers since the same month as Shay’s wedding.
“I learned in late August about the affair,” he told Andy Cohen last week on “Watch What Happens Live,” explaining that he was told Sandoval and Leviss had just had a one-night stand.
“Then it became — from my point of view — an emotional affair … but I didn’t think it was a linear thing,” Schwartz clarified.
When Cohen, 54, pressed Schwartz on why he didn’t tell Madix about Sandoval’s indiscretions, he claimed he thought the couple had already split.
“I’m being fed a narrative that he has broken up with Ariana or attempted to many many times — that he’s not happy, they’re not healthy, they’re not intimate, blah blah,” he claimed. “All of that’s inconsequential now in light of the way he handled it.”
However, we heard Madix had been in the dark and only found out about her longtime beau’s infidelity when she discovered a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone on March 1.
The “Buying Back My Daughter” actress swiftly dumped her boyfriend of nearly 10 years upon discovering the months-long affair.
As for Sandoval’s current relationship status, he and Leviss are apparently on a break despite the duo repeatedly being spotted together.
