Yep, all that moaning, moaning, and heavy breathing were broadcast straight to the kitchen where my significant other two were sitting.

Vanderpump Rules Cheating Scandal: How It Unfolded

Castmates Tom Sandoval and Raquel Levis were said to have had a “total affair” for months leading up to their breakup with Raquel’s best friend, Ariana Maddix.

A cheating scandal sparked after Sandoval and Ariana were revealed to have “hooked up” with Raquel, according to DailyMail.com.

Levi and Sandoval “have been communicating inappropriately for months,” but now say they “want to be together,” according to a source who spoke with Page Six.

Sources also told Page Six that Sandoval and Levi were going to inform Maddix about the incident for “a few weeks.”

But they waited so long that Maddix discovered their secret Wednesday night when he saw Levi’s text on Sandoval’s phone.

Maddix unfollowed on Instagram after learning of Sandoval and Levi’s months-long relationship. She also unfollowed Schwartz, who allegedly found out about her friend’s cheating “a month ago.”

Sandoval, who is also Schwartz’s business partner, wrote on his Instagram that his co-star only “very recently” learned of his infidelity and “didn’t condone” his behavior.

Anyway, at the time one of our mutual friends had a car and offered to give him a lift. She had her own time and her relationship, and although she was convinced she better pick him up every Sunday, she ignored the red flags and left them alone. A few months later, after sharing regular intimate car rides with him, another friend called and said she had caught him flirting at the McDonald’s booth.

Blow me away with your wings! I was heartbroken, but not deeply surprised. Because your gut is never wrong! I’ve seen their slow charm build. Inside story, lustful gaze. These car trips brought them closer together in a noodledy way I wasn’t happy with!

yes! Just over half (53.5%) of those who reported having extramarital sex said they were unfaithful to someone they knew well, such as a close friend.

Here you go. If you think your partner is getting too close to your best friend, stay vigilant. It’s a jungle! Side note: No one has loyalty anymore?
