Dissecting Scandoval! ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 10 Reunion Spoilers: ‘Emotional’

What Happened Between Scheana and Raquel During the Reunion?

Following the taping, Scheana’s attorney revealed that “Rachel had Andy ‘serve’” her with “a document,” which fans will seemingly see when the reunion airs.

“The papers have no legal meaning. It was a request to dismiss a complaint or a civil lawsuit, but Rachel had requested a permanent restraining order, which is something completely different,” Neama shared in a statement to Life & Style on Friday, March 24. “There is no way for Rachel to ‘drop’ the temporary restraining order before next week’s hearing. This is California law and even on the court’s website.”

She added, “Even if Rachel had the correct document, which she didn’t, it wasn’t filed with the court. There is no file stamp in the top right corner. This was just another public relations stunt by Rachel and her team. If Rachel really wanted to make this go away, she would come out and publicly say the ‘punch’ never happened and she is sorry for all the harm she caused Scheana, Ariana, and her other friends.”

Raquel, for her part, responded in a statement of her own, revealing that she’s since dropped the restraining order.

“I can confirm that my attorney took my case off the court calendar Wednesday and is filing the appropriate paperwork requested by the court today to dismiss the TRO from moving forward after the 29th,” Raquel shared in a statement to Entertainment Tonight on Friday March 24. “We let the court know I will not be moving forward with a permanent restraining order. My team tried to work with Scheana on a mutually beneficial agreement hoping to get the TRO dropped earlier so we could film [the Vanderpump Rules reunion] together.”

Following the hearing on March 29, the order was officially dropped.

What Lala Kent Said

Lala Kent has spilled tons of tea about the reunion since filming.

“I completely blacked out. I was, like, enraged,” she shared on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live on March 28. “Even through this didn’t affect me, it did trigger me.”

Addressing rumors of a fight on set during the reunion, Lala teased that “Andy got involved” along with security.

“I’m not gonna say who it was,” she shared during an Amazon Live on March 28. “He could hardly control it, so security got involved. I won’t say who was trying to brawl or whatever, but it was very heated the entire day.”

Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ Conversation

That being said, Tom and Raquel appeared to have a conversation outside after the cameras stopped rolling, according to photos obtained by Page Six.

“Raquel and Tom took time to sit and talk after filming,” a source told Entertainment Tonight about their conversation. “They chatted over what happened on set and how they felt. It was a rough day but they are happy they were able to show the cast their side of things.”

Life & Style confirmed on March 3, that Tom and Raquel had taken part in a months-long affair that led to the musician’s breakup with Ariana, 37, after nine years together. “The rumor is true — they, in fact, broke up due to Tom cheating on her with Raquel,” a source told Life & Style at the time.

Raquel Got ‘Dragged’

“It was explosive,” Lala told E! News on March 30 of the reunion taping. “I definitely ate, I blacked out a little bit. I went off, James [Kennedy] went off. We dragged them pretty hard,” referring to Raquel and Tom.

“I didn’t expect to leave feeling so gross,” the longtime VPR star continued. “I just felt dirty that I was associated with two people that were capable of something like this.”

‘No Remorse’

Scheana revealed in the March 31 episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast that Raquel didn’t seem to show and guilt or regret over her affair with Tom that led to the breakup of his relationship with Ariana.
“The fact that she had not a single tear, no remorse. She sat at the reunion and did not shed one tear,” Sheana seethed to guest and costar Lala Kent, adding, “No, I know. She actually smiled.” Lala quipped, “It was scary. It was like watching the Joker.”

Not Owning Up?

Jax claimed during an April 2023 appearance on the “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany” podcast that Tom wouldn’t own up to his cheating scandal with Raquel during the reunion special.

“From what I heard, he was going in on her and deflecting,” the Bravo alum alleged. “He didn’t just tuck his tail between his legs and say, ‘You know what? I screwed up. I made a bad decision and I am sorry.’ … It keeps getting worse and worse and worse with all the stuff I hear. I’m waiting for the empathy. I am waiting for Tom to say, ‘I f—ked up,’”

Finale Trailer

The season 10 finale trailer included a myriad of dramatic moments, from an explosive fight between Tom and Ariana to James asking Raquel if she and Tom were “an item.”
