Scheana Shay says Tom Sandoval told Raquel Leviss that he and Ariana Madix were in an ‘open relationship’ BEFORE the affair started! Perez Hilton

Just when you thought there were no more breathtaking details about Scandoval to reveal…

For those who don’t remember, there was a lot of speculation throughout season 10 of Vanderpump Rules about Tom Sandoval And Ariana Madix have an open relationship. It apparently came first after that James Kennedyhis girlfriend Ally Lewber shared that she witnessed a “weird” moment between the Schwartz & Sandy’s owner and Rachel Leviss bee The Abbey a night. When she brought up interacting with some of the cast members, Ally shared that Katie Maloney said Sandoval and Ariana didn’t have “a lot of rules” in their relationship. James interpreted the comment as if they were in an open relationship – which Sandoval and Ariana repeatedly denied.

Of course, the two had an open relationship – Ariana just didn’t know about it! But it looks like Katie was the one who started the rumor based on the season, right? That she was the person pushing the story that they were open? However, that was not the case! Rumors of an open relationship have been circulating for cameras picked up for season 10 of Vanderpump Rules last summer. And they apparently came from… SANDOVAL! At least that’s what Scheana Shay claims.

In the extended and uncensored version of part one of the Vanderpump Rules meeting, Peacock showed a never-before-seen conversation between Scheana and Ariana, where the 38-year-old Schenanigans podcast host dropped the huge bombshell. She revealed to her best friend that the 40-year-old told Raquel that he and Ariana had an open relationship to woo her months before their affair began! Scheana claimed:

“Apparently in April [2022], she told this person that at Coachella, after you went to sleep, they were in the hot tub, he made a comment to her and said, “So you know Ariana and I are just as open, right?” And that he started hitting on her at Coachella. Like telling her, ‘We’re open. We are open.’”

To make Katie seem like the bad guy and possibly face backlash from fans for this rumor when he was actually the person who started it?! Just disgusting behaviour. For her part, Ariana seemed shocked by the story before insisting “that’s never been the case”. After the unseen clip was shown, Sandoval (unsurprisingly) denied Scheana’s story, saying:

“What are you talking about? That’s bulls**t”

Scheana stuck to her story, recalling:

“Raquel was told by Sandoval in the Coachella hot tub last April that they were having an open relationship and that he caught her.”

But Sandoval did not back down. He shot back

“I didn’t fucking say that.”

Considering fans have watched Sandoval lie on camera all season, it’s hard to believe he’s telling the truth that he never said that! Just say it. Thoughts, Perezcious Readers? Do you believe Sandoval told Raquel that he and Ariana were in an open relationship before the affair? Let us know in the comments below.
