During the nearly eight-minute preview, host Andy Cohen, 55, mentioned Rachel, 29, did not return to the program for Season 11.

Lisa Vanderpump, 63, blasted "all of her actions" as unpredictable and ridiculous.

Tom's ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, 38, also stepped in to badmouth her former bestie. 

Andy asked Ariana if she regretted anything she said to Rachel at last year's dramatic reunion. 

"I had the courage to stand up against my perpetrators," she said, referring to the cheating scandal.

"I can't even believe I showed up that day."

"Looking back, I think [Rachel]'s a f***ing coward." Tom interrupted, which took his castmates by surprise.

"Like I'm sorry to say it."

"I think sitting here, preaching to everybody like she's moving on while still talking relentlessly about me, and everybody is just f***ing ridiculous."

After nine years together, Tom and Ariana split in March 2023 after his affair with costar Rachel.

The former couple had been in a relationship since 2013.

THE AFFAIR

Last year, Rachel sought treatment at a mental health facility after receiving intense backlash over her months-long affair with Tom, who was supposedly in an exclusive relationship with Ariana at the time.

In mid-May 2023, Rachel called it quits with Tom and dumped her co-star, according to Page Six.

"Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her,” the source told the outlet.

In mid-July 2023, the TV personality switched to using her birth name after spending about $200,000 for treatments at a health facility, according to TMZ.

In early May, the TV star revealed she had moved on with a new romance and is dating single dad, Matthew Dunn. 

During the Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, Rachel revealed she was getting to know her new man.

"We are friends, getting to know each other," she mentioned.

Around the same time, Entertainment Tonight confirmed that Rachel and Matthew hit it off after meeting through mutual friends.

Although there is no official label on the relationship, Rachel's publicist said the two do not want any pressure applied.

Part 1 of the Vanderpump Rules reunion special airs May 14.
