AceShowbiz - Andy Cohen hints at something big coming in an upcoming episode of "Vanderpump Rules". In an episode of his SiriusXM "Andy Cohen Live" show, the host said that fans would need to tune into the Wednesday, March 15 episode of the Bravo series.
"Guys, you are going to watch Wednesday's episode, you are going to think it's recut," the "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" host said on Monday. Adding that it was not edited post-scandal, Andy said, "People are going to think we did this or we moved stuff up."
Andy continued that the episode is particularly telling considering Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss that led to his breakup with Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nine years. "The conversations that go on between [Katie Maloney] and [Lala Kent] and Raquel are not to be believed in the light of what has come out, but I'm telling y'all the episode was not touched," he added. "This is how it was going to be shown. Which makes it all the more shocking. You won't believe it," Andy added.
A teaser for the episode shows Lala making a particularly interesting statement after Raquel swooped in and made out with a guy Lala was interested in during a girls' trip in Las Vegas. "I will say this, you drinking," Lala tells Raquel in the preview, "I would never trust you around my man." Raquel fires back, "Thank god you don't have a man to like f**king have around."
In related news, Teddi Mellencamp thought the whole scandal was staged. Speaking in an episode of Melissa Gorga's "On Display" podcast, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum said Lisa Vanderpump might orchestrate "Scandoval" to boost ratings for "Vanderpump Rules". "She probably paid Raquel to do this," Teddi said.
The fitness mogul added that Lisa would side with Tom in the scandal because she feels Lisa "always takes the men's side." Teddi explained, "She's gonna say the same points that I've been saying, like, 'Listen, [Tom and Ariana] weren't in a good place for a long time. His needs weren't met. [Tom and Raquel] fell in love. They couldn't help themselves.' "
When fellow guest Tamra Judge pointed out that "Vanderpump Rules" is "skyrocketing right now," Teddi replied, "Which is my point, which is exactly what [Vanderpump] wants." She even went to "guarantee" that Raquel will be "engaged and pregnant within a year."
