Vanderpump Rules Season 11 premieres next week, following on from the explosive 'Scandoval' drama that rocked the series last year.

What you need to know:

  • A bombshell cheating scandal, dubbed Scandoval, rocked the Vanderpump Rules cast last year after cast members Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss (who now goes by her real name Rachel) were caught having an affair. Raquel was single at the time, but Tom had been with his long-term partner Ariana Madix for nearly 10 years.

  • Tom and Raquel broke up after the VPR reunion episode, which saw Raquel tearfully open up to Andy Cohen in a one-on-one chat, saying her affair with Tom had gone on longer than they had previously admitted.

  • Raquel will not feature in Season 11, but the season picks up in the aftermath of the affair, with Tom and Ariana still living together as they navigate a stalemate over their house.

Have Tom and Tom made up?

Best friends and business partners Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz saw their friendship suffer as a result of the fallout of the Season 10 reunion, and while they've appeared at events side-by-side since the drama imploded, Season 11 will show how the friends had to navigate and repair their broken friendship.
