TheVanderpump Rulesreunion is filming in just two weeks — less than a month after the cast imploded from news thatRaquel Levisswas having an affair withTom Sandoval.
On Monday,Andy Cohenconfirmed the reunion episode was quickly approaching during an episode of his Sirius XM radio show. “This is a reunion that’s going to be… I’m girding my loins,” he said.
Last week, news broke thatAriana Madix, 37, had split from her boyfriend of nine years after he cheated with her friend and costar Leviss, 28.
Sandoval, 39, confirmed the cheating in a public apology on Saturday.
“Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger and disappointment towards me, but please leave Schwartz my friends and family out of this situation…,” Sandoval wrote of his friends, noting that longtime pal and business partnerTom Schwartz"specifically only found out about this very recently, and most definitely did not condone my actions.”
As the cheating scandal continues to make headlines,Vanderpump Rulesis airing new episodes — which Cohen, 54, said will be viewed very differently now that fans know the affair was happening behind the scenes.
“First of all, when you watch the rest of the season ofVanderpump Ruleswith the overlay of knowing that Raquel and Sandoval — what’s happened with them and what was possibly happening then — it’s really shocking,” he said. “Even Wednesday night’s episode, you’re not going to believe it. Watching it with this overlay, there’s this moment between Ariana and Raquel where you see where their friendship is, which is good. You won’t believe.”
