Lala Kent accuses Tom Sandoval of grooming Raquel Leviss during ‘Vanderpump Rules’ fight: ‘You are scary’

Lala Kent had serious words for Tom Sandoval during a blowout fight on “Vanderpump Rules.”

During Tuesday’s episode, the reality star and podcaster went after the musician for previously saying she was never “honest” or “real” about her life. In actuality, he was the one with a secret — he was having a seven-month affair with Raquel Leviss at the time — so she was hoping to get an apology from him for making such a hypocritical statement.

But during the group’s trip to Lake Tahoe, Kent didn’t get her wish. Instead, their argument went south fast and it led to her revealing why she felt bad for Leviss.

Kent admitted that she began sympathizing with Leviss, 29, when Leviss said during the Season 10 reunion that she would have “nobody” if she didn’t “fall in line with Sandoval.”

Lala Kent verbally attacked Tom Sandoval on Tuesday’s episode of “Vanderpump Rules.” She dug into him as she tried getting him to apologize for describing her energy as “douchey” during a March 2023 interview with Page Six.

“You isolate. You groom. You lie,” Kent, 33, told Sandoval, 40, during their fiery conversation. “I do not want to know you. You are scary.”

As Kent, who announced her second pregnancy this week, attempted to get the closure she needed from Sandoval, he got defensive and ripped into her about old rumors claiming she got with her now ex-fiancé Randall Emmett before he finalized his divorce from his wife, Ambyr Childers in 2017.

When Sandoval refused to give in, she accused him of grooming Raquel Leviss. “You isolate. You groom. You lie,” she slammed. “I do not want to know you. You are scary.”

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

Sandoval owned up to his affair with Leviss (who now goes by her birth name, Rachel) when Ariana Madix caught them in March 2023.

Leviss has since sounded off on their relationship, claiming Sandoval has played the “victim” in the fallout after manipulating her into staying with him.

“I did lie about a seven-month relationship. Lala lied for a few years of a six-year relationship,” Tom said in a confessional. However, he ended up apologizing once Scheana Shay and Brock Davies joined their heated argument.

Kent was beyond insulted that Sandoval refused to apologize to her while using her past against her. She told him 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 some intervention from Scheana Shay and Brock Davies, the TomTom co-owner swallowed his pride and expressed regret for his actions.

“I don’t think I understood you properly,” he told his co-star.

“I am sorry. I don’t want to be this way around you. I really appreciate you. It means a lot to me.”

“It changed a lot of what I think about you. It is a lot,” Sandoval continued. “I am still processing even these days. I am processing everything. It is a lot for everybody.”

Season 11 of “Vanderpump Rules” airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
