SUR Veterans Reflect on ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast Revamp

The OG SUR veterans are having some retrospective moments after the Vanderpump Rules cast shakeup. The popular reality TV show will undergo a complete cast revamp during the upcoming Vanderpump Rules Season 12. The center of all the drama, Tom Sandoval, is shedding light and reflecting on his journey across the 11 seasons of the show.

The reality TV star expressed how he is overwhelmed with emotions as his journey on the show comes to an end. He reflected on how from the get-go, “shit got real,” and it’s been a rollercoaster ride for the whole cast. Sandoval was also quick to note that some of his decisions in the past had led to challenging moments while sharing how he’s experienced growth. Despite everything that went down season after season, the Bravolebrity only has gratitude for his experience on Vanderpump Rules, and he’s thankful for the memories. Sandoval also took a moment to shed light on the show’s heydays in the following words:

“The foundation of Vanderpump Rules was built on pure honest raw emotions… triumphs, struggles, and love that happen between a group of real friends and our relationships.”

While Tom Sandoval didn’t detail the mistakes and past decisions, he’s most likely referring to the explosive moment that shook the foundation of Vanderpump Rules , aka Scandoval. Sandoval cheated on his long-time girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with co-star Raquel Leviss, which led to a chain of events that led to irreplaceable damage amongst the cast of Vanderpump Rules .
