‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast Reacts to Season 11 Finale in Reunion Teaser

After a bombshell season 10 reunion, Bravo is trying out an intense approach for Vanderpump Rules season 11.

In the first official trailer for the upcoming three-part reunion, sitdown host Andy Cohen announces that this time around, the cast will watch the season 11 finale together, sharing their reactions in “real-time.”

At one point, Cohen turns to Ariana Madix, asking, “What’s your reaction to that?” While sobbing, the Vanderpump Rules star responds, “It hurts a whole lot. It really does.”

She also has a tense interaction with her ex Tom Sandoval, who claims she knows him “well enough” to know he’s not “acting” for the cameras, seemingly talking about his storyline this season about his journey to redemption after his fallout with the cast and fans following Scandoval and his secret affair with former costar Rachel Leviss.

“I don’t,” responds Madix mid-sob. Sandoval also chokes back tears as he says, “You knew me, Ariana.”

“I just want you to stay away from me,” she responds, showing the former couple has yet to make amends a year after Sandoval’s cheating scandal. “I just want you gone.”

The teaser also confirms that Tom Schwartz’s former friend with benefits Jo Wenberg will return for the reunion, discussing where she and Schwartz currently stand after he broke off their romantic entanglement, as well as her fraught dynamic with his ex-wife and costar Katie Maloney.

When Maloney explains that she expressed her disapproval over Wenberg joining the friend group because she was “dealing with a lot of shit,” a tearful Wenberg responds by saying it is “no excuse” for how she was treated.

As shared by Bravo, the reunion will also have the cast address Scheana Shay and Schwartz’s secret Vegas kiss, Maloney’s “revenge bang” with ex-husband Schwartz’s best friend and former castmate Max Boyens, the status of Sandoval and Madix’s living arrangement, and Lala Kent’s controversial comments about Madix.

Recently, it was confirmed that Bravo is changing its production schedule for season 12. Instead of filming throughout the summer as for previous seasons, the show will take a brief hiatus, giving room to fresh developments in the cast’s lives after Scandoval dominated the season 10 finale and all of season 11.

This break also comes amid Madix’s busy schedule, as she’s slated to begin hosting Love Island USA in Fiji this summer. She is also reprising her role as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway throughout August following her initial sold-out run, as reported by People.

The first installment of the three-part reunion airs Tuesday, May 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, a week following the season 11 finale, which premieres on May 7 at the same time. Extended and uncensored versions of the reunion will be available to stream a day later on Peacock.
