I thought #Scandoval was going to be about more than it was but this is still some of the most incredible schadenfreude I’ve ever seen #VanderpumpRules

Nic Vansteenberghe Really Wants to Be on “Dancing With the Stars” Current Love Island USA host Ariana Madix did a stint on the show following #Scandoval in 2023, landed in the finale with partner Pasha Pashkov, and scored herself a sold-out run in Chicago in Broadway. And let’s not forget The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, who shockingly got eliminated before the finals but was so talented that ABC did something unprecedented: They aired her would-be finale routine with partner Mark Ballas in collaboration with the…

I'm watching Vanderpump Rules and I can't believe that's the man behind the whole #Scandoval thing. Respectfully, lovingly, if you told me these people were the cast of Pitch Perfect I'd believe you.

Reality TV Imitates Art Imitates Life in Broadway's 'Chicago' In 2021, an unremarkable influencer in Utah dances next to her newborn child’s hospital crib. The ensuing social media backlash turns her into a brief viral fixation; she joins the overstuffed rogue’s gallery of now-forgotten pandemic-era internet microvillains. Elsewhere, her future nemesis blows the lid on what would soon become internationally known as “the Mormon swinging scandal,” implicating various Utah influencers in the sort of sexual kerfuffle people generally make jokes about at the Mormon church’s expense. The monkey’s paw curls. A Hulu crew picks up cameras; a seed is planted in a Broadway producer’s subconscious. ### Years later and a world away, Whitney Leavitt and Taylor Frankie Paul, the respective influencer micro-villains, are household names. Their launching pad, Hulu’s _The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives_ , has left a Bravo-sized crater in the reality television landscape. Paul is recruited to _The Bachelorette_ and Leavitt completes a run on _Dancing With the Stars_ as a semifinalist, having long since left her co-star Jen Affleck in the dust on the road to the Mirrorball trophy. The dust still settling on stage, she announces her forthcoming role as Roxie Hart in Broadway’s long running cult classic, _Chicago_. Art, it seems, imitates life — at least on Broadway. At least in _Chicago_. ### The 1975 musical concerns itself with the inmates at a Chicago women’s prison at the height of the Jazz Age, themselves less thinking individuals and instead avatars of the perceived debauchery of the “Roaring Twenties.” Sexual beings maddened by lust and fame and jealousy and restrictive gender norms. Based on the Maurine Dallas Watkins play of the same name, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly act out events eerily similar to the real-life 1924 murders of Harry Kalstedt and Walter Law at the hands of Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner respectively. Roxie, an attention seeking murderess with stage lights for brains, finds herself pulled into orbit around jailbird Velma, a washed up vaudevillian looking to spin her prison stint into the tabloid sensation that launches her next big act. ### The movie scene most will remember is their dream realized: having escaped the noose, they stage a tongue-in-cheek vaudeville act lamenting the moral degeneracy of their swiftly changing society, brandishing prop tommy guns they fire into a crowd of similarly degenerate fans and patrons. It’s quite delicious, really, and holds up as an enduring critique of violence and spectacle on the American stage. _Chicago_ endures, but the stage has changed. ### ### The 1996 revival, the longest running show on the weary streets of Broadway, has maintained its relevancy over the last three decades through the stunt casting of its many Roxies. Melanie Griffith, Pamela Anderson, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna alongside husband Harry Hamlin as Billy Flynn, and more recently, Bravo’s one true breakout star: Ariana Madix. It is in her shadow that Leavitt creeps, but the dramatic twist of Jayne's sudden divorce and ensuing court melodrama, in which she and her husband were accused of defrauding everyone from plane crash survivors to burn victims, hangs heavy around the stage door. Prior to her surprise turn as a Broadway sensation and the host of two record-breaking seasons of _Love Island_ _USA_ , Madix was a reality television star most known for being cheated on by her boyfriend with a bad mustache and an even worse band. This is not to cast aspersions on her talent or meteoric rise to fame, which has included book deals and television guest spots and more brand deals than _People_ can reasonably post about. I simply mean to point out the obvious, which is that Madix was introduced to a global audience when a man that owned a novelty bar in West Hollywood for Disney adults destroyed their relationship by sneaking around with a washed up pageant contestant. The network soon marketed her public humiliation as “Scandoval,” picking up cameras post-season on _Vanderpump Rules_ while re-editing then-airing episodes to tease out the embarrassment over 20 weeks. ### Madix, who only ever wanted to be an actress and improv comedian, became the internationally recognized symbol for scorned women past, present and future. Her dreams once discarded gained new life, and once the requisite two season contract with Bravo wrapped, she joined the rank-and-file of Broadway as Roxie Hart in 2024. Her debut was the then-highest grossing non-holiday performance week in the show’s 28 year history. The run was extended, and she reprised it later that fall. I was in the crowd for her opening night on Broadway the first time around, having secured tickets courtesy my friend Natalie Walker, a Broadway actress herself. The mass of hysterical Bravo fans around me were much like those imagined at the end of “Nowadays,” as Roxie and Velma perform an abject display of American tabloid media. All around me, theater staff futile confronted rowdiness and rule-breaking, fans shouting and screaming and clamoring to enshrine Madix on secret cameras and Instagram Live feeds. I had never seen anything like it — not in my 30 years on earth or the decade spent covering popular culture professionally. It was as if I’d been transported through the show’s book and into the liminal space between the score’s margins. ### The same gossip-fueled hysteria has followed in the wake of _The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives_ , buoyed by Paul and Leavitt’s dueling charisma. It helps, somewhat, that the rest of the fellow inmates in their TikTok penitentiary are desperate to camp in the tabloid space carved out by their coworkers’ viral misfortunes. Recent headlines out of the comments section include accusations of falsified sexual assault allegations, cease and desists, and cheating scandals involving z-list reality stars I cannot be bothered to learn the names of. ### Most notably, however, are claims from fellow cast mates that Leavitt is an opportunist, her recent success a mere byproduct of her thirst for fame. She admits to it herself on the show's recent third season, telling viewers she only re-joined her former frenemies in the trenches for a contract stipulation that she'd be _considered_ for _Dancing With the Stars_. Still, that anyone on reality television can confidently call another an attention seeking egotist delights me; it is the delusion viewers tune in to watch them all fuss over in the first place. It almost calls to mind the reaction to Madix’s star turn post-Scandoval, in which she broke free of Bravo’s gravity well. The season following the affair between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss saw cast mates turn on their former friend, with longtime villainess Lala Kent infamously proclaiming: “I’ve never met someone who got cheated on and became God.” I’ve never seen someone do a TikTok dance to explain their newborn’s life-threatening medical diagnosis crib-side in a hospital and become god either. ### Such jealous infighting is likewise the long shadow of the canon rivalry between Roxie and Velma at the center of _Chicago_. The young marionette with a promising new future, cluelessly evading the petty machinations of the jilted puppet who’d just had her strings cut by the same public now praising the latest toy. But is she so clueless, and is she so different than Velma? Ironic, really, how utterly off-the-mark the two characters are from inside the margins of the show. “In fifty years or so, it’s gonna change, you know?” Nothing has changed, full cycles and a hundred years later. Not for audiences, not for Roxie or Velma, not for Ariana Madix and certainly not for Whitney Leavitt. ### _Images via Getty_

On the ‘Valley’ Reunion, More of Jax Taylor’s Terrifying Domestic Abuse Was Revealed. Why Is Bravo Taking it So Lightly? Bravo's reality show "The Valley" has a problem with Jax Taylor, whose physical and verbal assault is out of control.

It blows my mind that the amount of backlash Jax received from his repeated domestic violence, assault, stalking, and domestic terrorism pales in comparison to the wave of absolute rage that swept through pop culture towards Tom Sandoval (and Raquel) for cheating.

#Scandoval took place in March 2023 but it feels like yesterday. And the debacle made me think of the possibilities of a “Vanderpump Rules” video game.

Yes, Rachel’s face actually looks like that.
