Scandoval is yesterday. On December 11, Bravo released a trailer for Vanderpump Rules Season 11, which basically combines Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval's The online cheating scandal is treated as a subplot, thanks to more interesting revelations from the cast's past.
Ariana and Sandoval will both return after Scandoval, along with James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, Lala Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Tom Schwartz and, of course, matriarch Lisa Vanderpump. They will also be joined by James' girlfriend Ally Lewber and Scheana's husband Brock Davies, but it appears former cast member Jax Taylor There will also be guest appearances.
That means most of the cast from Season 10 will be back to deal with the fallout from the Scandoval affair, with the exception of Rachel Leviss, another woman in the scandal, who was interviewed by Bay in August. Bethenny Frankel basically quit during interview on Just B podcast.
In fact, Rachel is only mentioned once in the new trailer, and because that's how action-packed the new season is, fans on X (formerly Twitter) were absolutely shocked at some of the secrets that emerged.
Schwartz and Scheana? !
In the trailer, Schwartz inadvertently reveals that he once made out with Scheana — possibly while he was with his long-time wife Katie. While the details and timeline of their rendezvous remain unclear, Bravo fans are absolutely stunned. Lala's reaction said it all.
"Shayna and Schwartz made out?? Excuse me?" one fan wrote, adding an emoji of RHOSLC star Lisa Barlow, "My body is shaking."
"Sorry, still here processing this...but you told me Schwartz and Shayna were making out in Vegas," another fan said, alongside a photo of James walking away and yelling, "This is the end of me .Bye." "There's literally no timeline for Scheana and Schwartz making out," one fan added.
One fan noted that Schwartz was "taking the pressure off Sandy by telling everyone about his makeout session with Scheana," while fan account Queens of Bravo made the astute observation. "No wonder Scheana thought Rachel and Schwartz's candid encounter was no big deal — she already did it," they wrote.
Katie and Schwartz's love triangle
In another unexpected twist, it's revealed that ex-spouses Katie and Schwartz are in a love triangle with the same girl, who can be seen making out with them in the trailer. There's no word yet on who this woman is, but the whole situation has got the Brave Universe talking.
One writer called their parent-child makeout "a #PumpRules trailer moment," while others raised questions. "There must be more people in their WeHo circle than hanging out with the same people?" one fan asked. "Is the pink-haired girl chasing Schwartz too?" another wondered.
What Lala says about Ariana
The trailer ends with Lala's surprisingly heated tirade, in which she says, "I've never experienced anyone being cheated on, and all of a sudden, she becomes a god," referring to Ariana in Scandovar subsequent success. While it's unclear the context of her comments, they still elicited mixed reactions.
Some people immediately sided with Lala, with one fan saying, "LaLa ate this," and another arguing why the sentiment was valid. "I've been saying this from the beginning," they wrote. "She got scammed, what's the big deal. It happens every day."
But others were more critical, accusing her of showing jealousy. "La La is obviously jealous of Ariana's success, where is the energy going during the reunion?" one fan asked. "Not an outpouring of jealousy," another commented.
