Tom Sandoval was caught with a mystery woman in Texas just before his alleged split from Raquel Leviss was reported on Wednesday.
As the Vanderpump Rules star stepped out with the unnamed blonde, his former girlfriend of nearly 10 years, Ariana Madix, confirmed that when it comes to the series’ upcoming 11th season, she will not be filming with Sandoval or his former mistress, Raquel.
“I have nothing to say to either of them,” Ariana told The New York Times, via PEOPLE. “Our show is very real and follows a real group of friends, and neither of them are in the group of friends, so, good luck.”
According to Ariana, it was clear where her castmates stood in terms of “Scandoval” at the reunion.
“It was kind of a weird day because I feel like most of the time in any other reunion, we go through the whole season. But in this reunion, it was really just everybody against one or against two [cast members],” she revealed. “We’ve never been united like that ever.”
Looking forward to the future, Ariana said that she doesn’t know that redemption is possible for Sandoval or Raquel.
“I think any chance that either of them separately had for that ended when they started giving trash interviews victimizing themselves, her TMZ [interview] and his Howie Mandel [interview]. I think had they not done or said all of those horrible things, maybe one day, but I think the answer ultimately is no,” she suspected, adding, “In our friend group, the answer is no.”
As for Sandoval’s outing with the mystery woman, that was first reported on social media on Wednesday.
“Last night I was actually out in Austin, Texas where I live and I saw Tom with a mystery woman,” Sarah Koefod said in a video shared on TikTok on May 17.
According to the TikTok user, she spotted the Pump Rules star at the Austin Proper Hotel.
“From across the bar this is what I saw… It’s Tom wearing a sunglasses and a hat inside with a chevron shirt,” she shared. “I actually took this video of him. This is just a screenshot from the video. Here is Tom and said mystery woman. I blurred out everyone’s faces.”
In another screenshot from the video, Sarah pointed out the mystery woman’s dog, which she was able to use to identify Sandoval’s dinner partner on Instagram.
“You’ll notice this little Pomeranian that was sitting with them and it’s the woman’s dog. And I was actually able to find her Instagram, it was pretty easy,” she shared. “So here she is with the said Pomeranian.”
Sarah also added in her video that while she doesn’t know “the nature of their relationship” between Sandoval and the mystery woman, their outing “seemed very fishy.”
The three-part Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion begins next Wednesday, May 24, at 9/8c on Bravo.
