During the 10th season of "Vanderpump Rules," which aired earlier this year, Madix found herself at the center of the biggest scandal to rock the show, as it was revealed that her boyfriend of nine years, Tom Sandoval, cheated on her with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss.

The fallout of this affair was instantly dubbed "Scandoval," and Madix -- already a fan-favorite -- won the hearts of viewers all across America. The drama culminated in a heated three-part reunion.
