Long before Scandoval broke, Ariana Madix got wet and wild with Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss.
In a deleted scene from Vanderpump Rules' April 12 episode, which aired during a "Never Before Seen" repeat on April 19, Ariana went skinny-dipping with her then-boyfriend and co-star during Scheana Shay's wedding weekend in Mexico last August.
The clip shows a topless Ariana posing for photos in a hot tub and getting cozy with Tom and Raquel, who had already begun their affair. "It looks like we're a throuple," Ariana joked, unaware her partner of nine years was cheating on her at the time. "It looks like we're in a throuple on a romantic vacay."
The TomTom co-owner replied "cute," while Raquel joked the risqué photos shouldn't be shared with anyone.
Ariana's comment on the Bravo series comes a month and a half after she broke up with the Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman over his affair in early March. In his first post-scandal interview on April 11, Tom revealed he and Raquel shared their first kiss before Scheana's wedding last summer.
VPR's most recent episode showed the first clue that Tom and Raquel were most than just friends as James Kennedy's girlfriend Ally Lewby revealed she saw them at a West Hollywood club together in the wee hours of the night.
"I saw Sandoval and Raquel dancing together at The Abbey," Ally explained. "I personally wouldn't be comfortable with it, I guess, to have my boyfriend out at 1 a.m. with girls. But everyone's different."
Additionally, Ally told James she "thought it was kind of weird," adding, "It was like 1 a.m. and we were like, 'Where is Ariana?'"
Since news of the affair broke, both Tom and Raquel have since issued public apologies to Ariana and Raquel is currently seeking mental health treatment amid the backlash of the scandal.
As for Ariana, she recently moved on from the drama by making out and getting cozy with a new man, fitness coach Daniel Wai, during weekend one of Coachella 2023.
