Although Tom had claimed he could not get a ride home to be with Ariana, Lala Kent revealed that he had chosen to stay longer at the Labor Day bash. When Ariana confronted Tom about the conflicting stories, he admitted that he stayed because he assumed she wanted to be alone, a statement that hurt her deeply.
Ariana was frustrated with Tom’s dishonesty and felt like an idiot for choosing him over everyone else.
Earlier in the episode, Raquel’s sleepover at Tom’s house while Ariana was out of town caused further suspicion about their relationship.
Although Ariana trusted them completely, Lala believed Tom had a thing for Raquel. In March, Tom and Raquel apologized to Ariana for their affair, which led to their breakup. In his first post-scandal interview in April, Tom admitted that he and Raquel had started their experience in August and that he had handled the situation poorly.
The drama between Tom and Ariana continues to unfold on Vanderpump Rules, which airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Despite the difficulties in their relationship, Ariana has remained loyal to Tom. However, his dishonesty has caused her to question her commitment to him, and it remains to be seen whether their relationship will survive this latest revelation.
