After an explosive season of Vanderpump Rules, the final reunion episode delivered one more bombshell in its last minutes.
Season 10 of the reality TV series was largely dominated by the affair between Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval – dubbed Scandoval – which prompted Sandovil’s girlfriend of 10 years (and fellow co-star) Ariana Madix to dump him.
Now fans have learned new details of the affair after Leviss, 28, recorded a separate one-on-one interview with a producer six days after filming the reunion episode.

In tears about the depths of their deception, Leviss said “this has killed my soul”.
During the reunion episode alongside the rest of the cast, the pair denied having slept together while Madix, 37, had been out of town for her grandmother’s funeral.
But during her confessional, Leviss revealed it was a lie.

“That’s the one story that we’ve agreed on getting straight, and I know that the reason why Tom wanted to lie about it is because it’s a really bad look to hookup with someone’s boyfriend in their own house when they’ve gone out of town,” Leviss said while crying.
“Especially for a funeral of all things.
“I am so sick of lying, I hate it. I hate being deceitful, it’s horrible,” she added wiping away tears.
During part three of the reunion episode the pair also admitted they had sex “multiple times” during co-stars Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ Mexico wedding.
The confession was made more awkward for the fact that Leviss also shared a steamy kiss with co-star Tom Schwartz – who was seated between her and Sandoval, 40, for the reunion episode – during that Mexico trip.
At the reunion, Leviss also came face-to-face with Madix for the first time, who called her former friend “diabolical, demented, disgusting, subhuman” before being reduced to tears over the affair.
Leviss offered an apology, saying she was “ashamed and embarrassed” and “can’t even fathom the pain” she has caused.
“The way that we have betrayed the people closest to us was detrimental to all of our friendships, and I’m seeing all of the consequences for my actions that I never even considered because I was living in the moment,” she said.
A teary Sandoval told his ex-girlfriend: “Ariana, I know you hate me, and that’s OK, it’s OK, I understand, but I want you to know I will always love you, and I will always be cheering you on from afar. Always.”
When host Andy Cohen asked Leviss if she was still in love with Sandoval, she nodded.
And while Sandoval took a minute to respond to the same question from Cohen, he ultimately responded with: “I’m sorry, yes.”
