Andy Cohen: Nothing is ‘left unsaid’ at ‘confrontational’ ‘Pump Rules’ reunion
Andy Cohen confirmed Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss were annihilated for their secret affair during the recently filmed “Vanderpump Rules” Season 10 reunion.
“If you are looking for them to be confronted to their face about what they’ve done — in what I would say [was] an aggressive manner, a confrontational manner — you will get it,” the reunion’s moderator teased on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy” Monday.
Cohen also revealed that he interviewed Sandoval, 40, Leviss, 28, and Ariana Madix — on whom the bar owner cheated — individually before convening with the entire cast.
“I did separate one-on-ones with Tom, Ariana and Raquel so that I could get all of their stories just in conversation with me,” he explained.
“I had my own concerns. I had my own things that I wanted to confront them about, things that I had noticed, so I got to do that.”
The Bravo honcho, 54, made sure to note that he “re-asked a lot of this stuff in front of the group,” assuring viewers, “If you are looking to hear their story, you will.”
Though Cohen was careful not to divulge “the content” of the highly anticipated reunion special, he teased that Peacock — NBCUniversal’s streaming service — would likely “release extended versions” of what will air on Bravo.
“I think you’re going to get extras on Peacock,” he said, “and let me tell you — there is a lot of reckoning to get.”
Neither Cohen nor the network has revealed when the reunion will air or how many episodes it will be, but it does not appear that he is exaggerating about the day’s intensity.

Last week, cast member Lala Kent told fans that “security got involved” during the March 23 taping, adding that Cohen “could hardly control it.”
“I won’t say who was trying to brawl or whatever,” she said, “but it was very heated the entire day.”
“The second I sat down, it was nails up, two fingers directed at whoever I was talking to,” Kent, 32, admitted, claiming she “completely blacked out” while addressing Sandoval and Leviss about their months-long dalliance.
Sources close to the situation previously told Page Six that the temperament on set became explosive within minutes and lasted for the full five hours of filming.
We’ve also confirmed that the instigators of the near-scuffle were not Sandoval, Leviss or Madix.
Exactly a month ago, news broke that Madix, 37, had dumped her boyfriend of almost a decade after she found a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone, which led to the discovery that the two had been “communicating inappropriately” since at least July 2022.
Cameras quickly picked back up to capture the fallout for inclusion in the show’s currently airing season.
However, Cohen has repeatedly said that producers did not go back and re-edit the existing footage in light of what has been dubbed Scandoval.
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
