Vanderpump Rules Recap: Lala Accuses Sandoval of Grooming Raquel

Vanderpump Rules: Lala Kent slams Tom Sandoval over behavior during Scandoval.

Lala Kent called out all of Tom Sandoval’s dirty deeds concerning Raquel Leviss during a blowout fight on Vanderpump Rules. Let’s break it all down!

During Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules, Lala Kent went in on Tom Sandoval after he claimed that she was never “honest” or “real” about her life.

This comment was rich coming from Sandoval when at the time he was the one keeping a major secret about his life – aka his seven month affair with Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss.

So, while on the group’s trip to Lake Tahoe, Lala hoped to get an apology from Sandoval for his hypocritical comment however the 33-year-old’s wish did not come true. Instead, Lala and Sandoval’s conversation went south fast and turned in a heated argument.

Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent accuses Tom Sandoval of “grooming” ex Raquel Leviss.

While taking Sandoval to task for his hypocritical behavior, Lala admitted why she actually felt bad to Raquel and now sympathyized with the 29-year-old former SURver.

Lala now realizes that Raquel was under Sandoval’s spell, noting how the 29-year-old said at the season 10 reunion that she would have “nobody” if she didn’t “fall in line with Sandoval.”

“You isolate. You groom. You lie,” Lala told Sandoval. “I do not want to know you. You are scary.”

Naturally, Sandoval got defensive and ripped into Lala for old rumors that she started dating her now ex-fiancé Randall Emmett while he was still married to his ex-wife, Ambyr Childers in 2017.

“I did lie about a seven-month relationship. Lala lied for a few years of a six-year relationship,” Sandoval told the Bravo cameras in his confessional interview. “We both lied. We are both liars. I think in this instance we both just call this a wash.”

Lala was shocked and insulted that Sandoval would use her past against her while refusing to apologize. She told the 40-year-old that he was “insane” and “terrifying.”

“It is all you have on me. You will not allow me to evolve. But yet this happened four months ago and I am allowing you to evolve,” she argued.

However, after Scheana Shay and Brock Davies intervened to calm the growing tension, the Schwartz and Sandy’s co-owner expressed regret for his lies and behavior.

Vanderpump Rules OG Tom Sandoval denies playing the “victim” in Scandoval.

“I don’t think I understood you properly,” Tom admitted.

“I am sorry. I don’t want to be this way around you. I really appreciate you. It means a lot to me,” he continued. “It changed a lot of what I think about you. It is a lot. I am still processing even these days. I am processing everything. It is a lot for everybody.”

Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Tom is right...LaLa is the last one to talk about lying to her fellow actors. But then, they have all had sex with each other at various times when they were in relationships and certainly did not announce it to all of the others. Obviously, Bravo can't think of anything else for this show to be about. The on ly thing of interest this show has had for several years is Scandoval, and that was clearly an unplanned (maybe planned?) flash-in-the-pan.

Why don’t we just declare all that is wrong with the world Sandoval’s fault? Did ya decide to be a homewrecking, backstabbing wh*re? No worries, it’s Sandoval’s fault! Were you a cheating, passive aggressive, narcissistic nightmare of a girlfriend withholding affection and got cheated on? Oh, that’s TOTALLY ? Sandoval’s fault! Next time I have car trouble, burn my dinner, break a nail or stub my toe, NONE of that is my fault! It’s ALL on Sandoval now. Yeah, that’s the ticket! ?

Lala trying for a moment and using Tom in the process. And Scheana using Ariana for her moment. Stop it already.

Enough already. Let's move on. I feel the narcissist is Arianna. Dictating who can be friends with Tom. If these folks keep on attacking I do believe all should be held accountable for past affairs - every time Tom mentions one or two of their indiscretions they cut him off.
