“Vanderpump Rules” Reunion: Drama and Hypocrisy on the Table

The “Vanderpump Rules” reunion has aired, and it was everything fans expected: betrayal, scandal, and intense arguments. As usual, the cast members were quick to shout over each other, and this time, Tom Sandoval’s affair took center stage. Sandoval had an affair with Raquel Leviss, his girlfriend Ariana Madix’s friend, which led to tensions between the cast rising high. In this article, we delve into what was aired and highlight some of the significant moments of the season 10 reunion.

Madix and Sandoval at Odds

As soon as the reunion started, Tom Sandoval attempted to be diplomatic, but it didn’t seem to fly with Madix or the other cast members. The exchange between the two was tense, with Madix berating Sandoval throughout the nearly hour-long special. Sandoval expressed remorse for betraying Madix’s trust but clarified that he didn’t come clean about the affair because he was scared.

Madix was disappointed with Sandoval’s explanation, saying that he had victim-blamed her all through the ordeal and couldn’t believe a word he said. Clearly, trust betrayed had consequences in their relationship as there was no resolution between the two of them.

The Hypocrisy of the Cast

During the reunion, Cohen noted that the cast members are no strangers to cheating and called out instances when they had not been faithful in their relationships. In fact, he found out that the only people at the reunion who had been faithful to their partners were Katie Maloney and Lisa Vanderpump. This drew criticism from Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, Shay, and Kennedy as they banded together and accused Sandoval of wrongdoing. However, Cohen wasn’t impressed with their hypocrisy and labeled them cheaters.

The cast members justifying their singling out of Sandoval is problematic. While betraying a friend’s trust is typically considered wrong, it’s also hypocritical and unfair to gang up on one person while trying to justify other people’s failings. The cast should focus on working through their individual issues instead of pointing fingers.

Vanderpump Caught in the Middle

Another sticky spot addressed in the reunion is Vanderpump’s business relationship with Sandoval and how this may affect her friendship with Madix. Although Lisa Vanderpump shows support for the couple, Madix admits that they would not be as close if Vanderpump remains in business with Sandoval. Vanderpump explains her dilemma, stating that she’s been close and supportive of Madix and the business partnership shouldn’t affect their relationship. Maybe there should be less of a focus on Lisa’s business relationship with Sandoval and more on the treatment of all the cast members, including Madix.

Conclusion

The immense drama and betrayal on “Vanderpump Rules” continue to draw in fans, but it raises questions about how much we like viewing others’ drama. Should we be entertained by other people’s pain and betrayal? Furthermore, the reunion highlighted the culture of hypocrisy that the cast fosters, displaying their willingness to gang up on Sandoval for his wrongdoing without acknowledging their own. As viewers, we should be reminded that reality TV is often edited and exaggerated for effect. However, perhaps the most significant lesson from the show is the importance of communication and honesty in relationships. Without these qualities, the relationship may inevitably crumble, just like we see with Madix and Sandoval’s relationship.
