What has Ariana Madix said about the cheating scandal?

Madix broke her silence on the alleged cheating scandal in an Instagram post on March 16.

"To say I have been devastated and broken is an understatement," Madix said in the lengthy statement. "However, I know that I am not in this alone." Referring to her "VPR" co-stars, she added, "so many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels."

The support surrounding her gave the reality star "strength to continue and see me through my darkest hours," she said, adding that her support system is the "best" in the world. "I hope I can repay every single person for the love you have shown me."

The "VPR" star closed out her message, "What doesn’t kill me better run."

What has Tom Sandoval said?

Sandoval first addressed his rumored infidelity with Leviss on March 4 in an Instagram post.

"Please leave Schwartz, my friends and family out of this situation … Schwartz specifically only found out about this very recently, and most definitely did not condone my actions," Sandoval wrote, alluding to the cheating scandal. "This was a very personal thing."

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Sandoval, Madix and Leviss for comment.

The Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras singer founded Schwartz & Sandy’s, a cocktail lounge and restaurant in Los Angeles, with Schwartz in 2021. Sandoval and Schwartz also co-founded TomTom Restaurant & Bar in West Hollywood with fellow co-star Lisa Vanderpump.

"Please direct (your) anger towards me and not them. They did nothing wrong," he added. "I will be taking a step back (and) taking a hiatus out of respect for my employees (and) partners. I need some time to address everything else. Sorry for everything."

On March 7, Sandoval directly addressed Madix by name in another lengthy Instagram statement.

"Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana. I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love," he wrote. "No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly."

He continued: "I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us … My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. … My love for Ariana was stronger than any camera could ever have captured ... I owed Ariana better."

What has Raquel Leviss said?

Leviss shared a statement on Instagram March 8 apologizing for her "actions and my choices to Ariana, my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships."

She wrote there was "no excuse" for her actions and that she is "not a victim and must own my actions. I deeply regret hurting Ariana."

Leviss also shared she was reflecting on her choices, speaking to a counselor, and learning more about herself and "patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved."

Hours later, she followed up with another statement declaring her "sincere" feelings for Sandoval, doubling down on her need for healing.

"Besides the indefensible circumstances surrounding our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been sincere and born out of a loving friendship," she wrote. "I need to take care of my health, work on self growth, and take time to be ok with being alone."

She added: "I care for Tom and don't want to label anything or predict what lies ahead."
