‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 11 Trailer Reveals Scandoval Fallout and Secret Hookup

The fallout from Scandoval continues in the first trailer for season 11 of Bravo’s reality hit Vanderpump Rules.

Among the revelations in the footage released Monday is Tom Schwartz telling co-star Lala Kent that he previously shared an amorous moment with Scheana Shay, who wed Brock Davies in the summer of 2021. The trailer for the new season that begins airing Jan. 30 does not specify when the supposed kiss between Schwartz and Shay took place.

“I’ve cheated,” says Schwartz, who was previously married to Katie Maloney. “I was a make-out slut. I made out with Scheana in Vegas. Nobody knows that.”

Later in the trailer, Davies is seen heatedly telling Shay, “You make out as if this is fine. It hasn’t been fine.”

Plenty of tension in the video revolves around the revelation earlier this year that Tom Sandoval cheated on longtime partner Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss. The controversy surrounding the clandestine romance between Sandoval and Leviss, which has since ended, spurred series-high ratings for the show that launched in 2013 as a spinoff to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Tom’s still in love with Raquel,” Schwartz says about Sandoval in the spot. Leviss, who previously stated that she is moving on from the show, does not appear in the trailer.

Near the end of the footage, Madix warns Sandoval, “My lawyer will be dealing with you.”

The show’s cast for season 11 also includes Lisa Vanderpump, James Kennedy, Ally Lewber and Jax Taylor. Vanderpump Rules earned its first-ever Emmy nominations this summer.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that published after the final installment of the season 10 reunion aired in June, executive producer Alex Baskin admitted feeling “a ton of pressure” to live up to the recent drama. However, he added that the show’s team isn’t trying to duplicate the previous season: “This show has always succeeded because it’s been a real show about a real group of people who go through life together and hold each other relentlessly accountable, and that’s what it will continue to be about.”
