LOS ANGELES — “Vanderpump Rules” stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have issued lengthy statements apologizing to Sandoval’s longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix after an affair scandal ended their nine-year relationship and rocked the internet this week, likely causing long-term effects on their Bravo reality series.
Rumors began swirling last week of a monthslong affair between Sandoval and Leviss, who star alongside Madix in the long-running “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” spinoff.
According to People, Madix discovered Sandoval had been cheating on her with Leviss after finding a recording of a FaceTime call and “inappropriate” messages between them on Sandoval’s phone last Wednesday. By Friday, Sandoval, 39, and Madix, 37, had called it quits on their closely watched relationship, the magazine reported.
