Ariana Madix accuses Tom Sandoval of trying to kill her dog in explosive new trailer

Vanderpump Rules was confirmed at Bravocon to return in January 2024 - with the Scandoval fallout still weighing heavy on the cast.

Vanderpump Rules is still very much feeling the fallout of the Scandoval that tore a key romance apart - and it's just getting more fiery if the new season 11 trailer is anything to go by. 

In fact, in the explosive first look at the Bravo series sees Ariana Madix threatening to call in lawyers, with her accusing her now ex Tom Sandoval of trying to kill her dog. 

With Sandoval and Ariana officially over following his affair with Rachel Leviss being exposed, the former couple of nine years are having to learn to live around each other. 

Having bought a house before their less-than-amicable break-up, it seems they are far from achieving domestic harmony. 

But with their friendship group so entangled, lines are having to be drawn in the sand over who's on whose side.

Thankfully, the ever subtle James Kennedy is on hand to do that - quite literally during a day at the beach.

But in a scene moments later, Ariana was seen furious at Sandoval in their kitchen, declaring: "'Ruin my life, my home and then attempt to kill my f**king dog?

"My lawyer will be dealing with you." 

Sandoval, and Lala Kent who's also present during the altercation, do nothing but looked stunned at the tense exchange. 

One person who does appear to have sympathy though is Lisa Vanderpump, the quasi-matriarch of the group.

"To lose his best friend, his business is up the creek, everything has gone wrong in his life," she noted, also referencing Sandoval's fallout with Tom Schwartz, his longtime pal and business partner who was partly blamed by viewers for 'helping covering up' the affair. 

Schwartz has always denied any involvement or knowledge, even kissing Rachel (who at the time referred to herself as Raquel) at a party just weeks before it emerged she was secretly seeing Sandoval. 

Rachel opted not to take part in season 11 filming, instead spending time in Arizona, and has since somewhat cut ties with all of the cast - including Sandoval. 

She was subsequently not invited to Bravocon, which is taking place this weekend, with Sandoval being booed as he appeared on stage for a panel with the rest of the Vanderpump cast. 

Vanderpump Rules returns January on Bravo TV and streaming on Peacock.
