Before Scandoval, The Vanderpump Rules was once a relatively unremarkable reality show on the Bravo network. This was until the news broke, and it was given such an inescapable nickname. After the drama, The Vanderpump Rules is now one of the most popular titles in the channel’s library of shows. Among these include the Real Housewives franchise, Below Deck, Summer House and many others.<\/p>\n

Who broke the story of Scandoval?<\/h2>\n

As with most stories of a similar nature, it was broken by the iconic gossip site TMZ \u00a0<\/a>back in March last year. To add to the drama of it all, the show was not currently filming. In fact, it sparked production to spring back into action to capture the fallout of the drama, and it was almost televised in real time.<\/p>\n

On paper, it doesn’t really sound that groundbreaking. A man cheats on a woman with another woman. Sadly, this is a tale as old as time. However, to fully understand its magnitude, one needs to know the backstory of the key players. In this tragedy, we have a trio of past employees of Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR (which stands for Sexy Unique Restaurant) known as Tom Sandoval, Ariana Maddix and Rachel ‘Raquel’ Leviss.<\/p>\n

Okay, so who is Tom Sandoval?<\/h2>\n
