Vanderpump Rules: Ariana Madix admires Raquel Leviss in bikini and joins Tom ... trends now

Ariana Madix complimented Raquel Leviss and joined her boyfriend Tom Sandoval in defending her on Wednesday's episode of Vanderpump Rules on Bravo.

The 37-year-old reality star gushed about Raquel, 28, looking great in a bikini before learning that she was having a secret affair with her boyfriend Tom, 39. 

'What is it like being the hottest person on the f***ing planet?,' Ariana asked Raquel as the former beauty queen arrived in a black bikini for her pool party.

The pool party at Tom and Ariana's house was filmed before the so-called 'Scandoval' became public and Raquel on Wednesday denied the affair started out after a threesome with her, Tom and Ariana. 

Ariana at her pool party also defended Raquel who she figured was treated poorly by Lala Kent, Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly during the Las Vegas and Lake Havasu trip. 

'It's very difficult for me to wrap my mind around the fact that Raquel is fighting people and being crazy,' Ariana, 37, said. 'I would think that Katie, Lala and Kristina gave the mean girl treatment to Raquel like they have given to other people in the past.'

Ariana tried to get Raquel and Lala Kent, 32, to just talk it out at a pool party at her house. Lala told Scheana Shay, 37, that she couldn't forgive Raquel for calling her a mistress and a home wrecker during the trip.

'If you want to be a troll, I'm going to treat you like a troll and don't act shocked when I do it,' Lala said.

Scheana then told Raquel that Lala called her weak.

'I think Lala's pathetic,' Raquel said. 'Obviously I'm not a weak f***ing b****.'

'I agree,' Scheana said.

'She needs to get her head checked,' Katie said of Raquel.

'That's unfair,' Tom Sandoval, 39, said. 'Katie here is the thing with you if somebody doesn't have your exact perspective, they are somehow wrong.'

'Tom, I'm walking away because I'm not doing Tom against the girls thing,' Ariana said.

Raquel walked over realizing they were talking about her.

'Put a thought together,' Lala said. 'I know you can do it.'

'Jesus can you stop,' Sandoval said. 'I can't unsee the f***ing bully that you were to her. For no reason.'

'No, there was a reason,' Lala said.

Raquel said there was a reason and it was that Lala slept with her then boyfriend James Kennedy. Lala said they had moved on from it.

'You have moved on from it!' Sandoval said, pointing his finger at Lala. 'She has not. She just got his information two weeks ago.'

James Kennedy, 31, said to Raquel that Lala has always not liked her.

'So deal with it yourself!' James said. 'Don't throw me in the middle and say my name.'

'You are a bully,' Raquel said to Lala. 'You're f***ing pathetic. I don't need this energy in my life.'

Raquel told Lala that they would never be friends.

'I'm so bored you said it like six times,' Lala said.

Raquel walked off.

The episode titled Galaxy Gaslighting opened with Raquel and Charli Burnett, 26, crashing Tom Schwartz's guys' night in LA after ditching Katie Maloney's Arizona trip.

'Guys night means nothing!' James said.

Sandoval said he didn't know that Raquel and Charli were going to show up.

'I just want to have fun,' Raquel told Schwartz. 'The whole purpose of this trip was to have fun, and it's been the opposite of that.'

Raquel told him that she told Katie's mother Terry that she entertained the idea of making out with him.

'What the f*** happened?' Sandoval said.

'I was being young and fun and single, living my life, and these girls
