Ariana Madix couldn’t hold back her tears when she lashed out at her philandering ex Tom Sandoval in a sneak peek at the upcoming Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion.
The clip, which was released on Monday, opened with the reunited cast sitting down to watch the ending of the last regular episode of the season, which will air on Tuesday.
Whatever the reality stars saw seemed to have shaken them to their core, and Ariana — who recently called her new boyfriend Daniel Wai ‘the most handsome man I know’ — was overcome with sobs that made it difficult for her to speak.
‘I just want you away from me,’ she told Tom through her tears, even as her ex — who also had tears rolling down his face — tried to convince her that he was being genuine.
The trailer opened with host Andy Cohen backstage as he quizzed the show’s namesake, Lisa Vanderpump, on whether she had seen all of the season finale.

‘I haven’t seen the final piece of the last episode,’ she admitted.
‘We’re gonna all watch it together,’ Andy replied with an almost gleeful expression.
On set with the entire cast surrounding him in a semicircle, Andy noted that the cast had been together for more than a decade.
Therefore, he wanted them all to ‘watch this ending together, and then get your realtime reactions.’
The cast members all showed off shocked or puzzled expressions, with Ariana mouthing ‘What the f***?’
Lala Kent tilted her head in apparent surprise, while Tom shook his head side to side, possibly to signal disapproval or to indicate that he didn’t believe something about the finale.
Once Andy asked the group to share their reactions, it was clear that Ariana had one of the strongest responses to the final scene.
‘It hurts my feelings a lot,’ she whimpered while holding a tissue to her face. ‘It really does.’
The scene in question seemed to be about Tom, who was seen replying, ‘You know me well enough to know this is not acting.’
‘I don’t,’ Ariana shot back while clenching her eyes shut and throwing her head back.
‘You knew me, Ariana!’ Tom replied to her as his voice began to crack and his own tears started to flow.

Ariana continued: ‘I just want you away from me. I just want you gone!’
‘I know —’ he started to say, but then he was overcome by a wave of emotion and covered his face with his hands.

Then the preview cut back to ‘seven hours earlier’ as the cast got ready for the reunion.
Tom Schwartz was seen arriving in an SUV.
‘You could cut the tension with a knife,’ he tells Lisa after changing into a navy suit with a burgundy sweater.
Then Tom Sandoval admitted he was ‘nervous’ about seeing his ex Ariana in response to Andy quizzing him backstage.
Lala Kent gave Ariana a final pep talk before the cast headed onto the stage.
Things appeared to be tense from the start.
‘I’m keeping my mouth shut about things that I’ve heard,’ Sandoval said at one point.
‘Shut the f*** up, Sandoval. You haven’t heard s***,’ shouted James Kennedy.
Then Scheana Shay told Tom he should have ‘walked out the f***ing door.’
