Watch: Tom Sandoval Reveals Regrets About Affair With Raquel Leviss

The Scandoval clues are becoming more apparent as Vanderpump Rules' 10th season continues to play out.

On the Bravo series' April 12 episode, Ariana Madix got annoyed with then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval for repeatedly chanting Raquel Leviss' name during a night of partying at Scheana Shay's August 2022 wedding weekend in Mexico.

After Sandoval yelled, "Raquel! Raquel! Raquel," his girlfriend of nine years chastised him. "Tom, stop! You're acting weird," Madix said. "Why are you saying 'Raquel, Raquel, Raquel?'"

Sandoval explained he was cheering Leviss on after she finally made out with Tom Schwartz earlier in the episode. The TomTom co-owner continued to celebrate his co-stars' hookup by teasing Leviss with, "Raquel, here's Schwartz's room key."

Madix's response? "Tom, get the f--k out of here," she stated, adding, "Tom, you're the worst."

The awkward moment aired one day after Sandoval sat down for his first interview since his affair with Leviss and breakup from Madix came to light last month. During the explosive sit-down, the reality star admitted he and Leviss had already shared their first kiss prior to her and Schwartz locking lips in Cancún last August.

And while the Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman supported Leviss and Schwartz's kiss on the latest episode, he admitted on the April 11 episode of the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast that their makeout did make him jealous.

Sandoval also claimed that after six months of secretly seeing Leviss, he called things off with Madix before his cheating was made public on March 3. "I actually did break up with her on Valentine's Day," he stated. "I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier."

However, he did admit that he "handled s--t wrong" and "f--ked up" in how he ended his previous relationship.

"Nothing is excusable for what I did," Sandoval added before calling out his VPR co-stars for not reaching out to him amid the fallout. "I definitely deserve the hate, but for these close friends to not even shoot me a text and go right to social media and start posting things?"

See the drama continue to play out when Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
