10 Vanderpump Rules Villains Ranked (Is Tom Sandoval At Number 1?) – Armessa Movie News

Vanderpump Rules has had its fair share of villains through the years, but some were more devious than others. After ten seasons, the long-running Bravo series has dealt with some of the most scandalous drama on the network despite going through casting changes. With Scandoval becoming one of the most talked about moments in reality TV history, Vanderpump Rules has been a topic of conversation for months on end. Viewers have spent time throughout the last few months revisiting the series and getting to know older cast members and storylines, assessing the more villainous nature of some of the stars aside from the obvious villains: Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss.

Ariana Madix has dealt with Tom and Raquel’s affair in the most interesting of ways, using her pain to leverage her personal brand and make money for her upcoming sandwich shop, Something About Her, which she co-owns with Katie Maloney. Throughout the run of Vanderpump Rules, Ariana has played several roles, but has never really been shown as the villain of the series, and surely won’t be moving forward. Though many cast members have had villainous moments, the majority of them have done very little to warrant being called a full-blown villain until Vanderpump Rules season 10. Here is a ranking of the top ten Vanderpump Rules villains.

10 Ariana Madix

Ariana is likely the least villainous cast member of Vanderpump Rules currently, but there have been moments in the past that do at least put her onto the list. While Ariana has always been confident in herself and open about exactly who she is, there have been instances in earlier seasons of Vanderpump Rules where she was duplicitous in nature. During her initial interactions with Tom when they were working at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant Villa Blanca, Tom was in a relationship with Kristen Doute. Despite claiming that they were keeping things strictly platonic, Ariana and Tom were definitely a bit more than friends. Still, Ariana’s villain status is fairly innocuous.

9 Scheana Shay

Scheana Shay is another low-level Vanderpump Rules villain, as she doesn’t typically take any villainous actions, but she does at times align herself with villains. She has often believed people who turn out to be duplicitous, which makes her an accomplice to evil at times. In earlier seasons of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana was an archrival of both Stassi Schroeder and Katie, though their friendships wavered on and off. This didn’t necessarily make Scheana a villain, but the antagonistic nature of her relationships did make her seem like she’d be capable of doing something devious if necessary.

8 James Kennedy

James Kennedy may be the number one guy of Vanderpump Rules season 10, but there have been moments throughout his run on the series where he’s exhibited some evil traits. He joined the series during Vanderpump Rules season 3 as Kristen’s new boyfriend, and over the years became more of antagonist, as his relationships with the cast shifted and changed. From his notorious fight with Lala Kent wherein he screamed the now infamous catchphrase, “it’s not about the pasta,” to unironically calling himself the “white Kanye West,” James has all the personality of a true villain with very little of the follow-through.

7 Katie Maloney

Katie has the reputation of a villain, but very little action to support the claims. Throughout the years, she has been accused of being a bully and launching into drunken rage blackouts. Her alter ego, Tequila Katie, is infamous for her long text exchanges with people she’s dissatisfied with, and has been a mainstay on Vanderpump Rules for years. Though Katie almost always apologizes for the vitriolic comments she lodges at others, most of the time she’s simply speaking her truth or calling people out on their actions. She hasn’t done anything truly duplicitous, and with Tom Schwartz as her ex-husband, she’s had every reason to through the years.

6 Stassi Schroeder

Original Vanderpump Rules cast member Stassi definitely has had her fair share of villainous moments, but because of her nature and the intent behind her actions, doesn’t crack the top five of the series. Throughout her time on Vanderpump Rules, Stassi orchestrated several warranted public humiliations, most notably the confession of Kristen’s affair with Stassi’s then-ex-boyfriend, Jax Taylor. After delivering a backhanded slap to Kristen, Stassi made it clear that she wasn’t to be messed with. Though she settled down through the years, it was always a known fact that getting in Stassi’s way wasn’t recommended. None of her actions felt evil or unwarranted, making her less of a villain.

5 Kristen Doute

Kristen, another original Vanderpump Rules cast member who’s since left the series, is one of the most notorious reality TV villains that the show has ever seen. While many of Kristen’s actions were warranted in nature, some did at times feel like they were malicious in intent and her reactions often felt over-dramatic for the situation at hand. After her relationship with Tom ended, she took every possible opportunity to make his life more difficult. While it’s now clear that she was trying to expose Tom’s true nature, Kristen’s own issues clearly clouded her judgment and made her seem far more evil than she actually was.

4 Tom Schwartz

Schwartz is the lesser evil of the two Toms, but he’s definitely still got villainy in his nature. While Tom is typically known for being unassuming and confused, he has taken his fair share of devious actions throughout his time on Vanderpump Rules. One action was the consistent infidelity in his 12-year relationship with Katie, which the two fought over time and time again before divorcing in 2022. On top of his philandering ways, Schwartz has covered for his best friend and business partner, Tom Sandoval, for years. Outside of covering up Scandoval, Schwartz has defended Tom for years when he’s cheated or done anything less-than-favorable.

3 Jax Taylor

Jax, an original cast member of Vanderpump Rules, is one of the most fascinating reality TV villains of all time. He lied, manipulated, and even shoplifted on camera. Jax spent time in jail, betrayed everyone’s trust, and nearly lost his job at SUR several times over. His pathological need to lie about nearly every situation was interesting to watch, but caused massive damage to those around him. Jax cheated in every relationship he’s ever been in, and has been proud to admit to his villainous ways. Celebrating his ways, Jax will appear on the upcoming series House Of Villains, which pits reality TV villains against each other.

2 Raquel Leviss

Raquel is a newer Vanderpump Rules villain, and has become one of the most notable figures in the cast over the past year. After ending her engagement to James, Raquel became close with many of her fellow cast mates, including Ariana and Tom. She was devious and duplicitous in covering up her months-long affair with Tom, which she kept behind Ariana’s back for as long as possible. When the affair came out, it was clear that Raquel knew she had been pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. Her actions were questionable at best, and even after apologizing, she’s still one of the slimiest Vanderpump Rules villains of all time.

1 Tom Sandoval

Tom is easily the most villainous cast member of Vanderpump Rules to date, and has become one of the most vitriolic parts of the series in this season. After his affair with Raquel was revealed to the public, Tom’s past behavior was examined, and it turns out he’s been villainous for a lot longer than the last season. Going through seasons of the series, it’s clear that Tom’s sense of entitlement and feeling the need to be right in every situation have impeded him throughout his relationships. With an inability to take accountability and a lack of remorse for his mistakes, Tom is the true villain of Vanderpump Rules.
