Meghan King is Team Ariana.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum said she despises Tom Sandoval for cheating on Ariana Madix with their “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Raquel Leviss.
“I hate Tom Sandoval for what he did,” King, 38, told Page Six exclusively Wednesday night at Sutton Stracke’s four-year anniversary party for her eponymous boutique in West Hollywood, Calif.
“He’s from St. Louis, where I live,” the Missouri native noted, adding that she is “embarrassed” by the hometown association.
“Obviously, it’s not the best representation. So, yeah, I don’t love it.”
Scandoval unfolded when Madix, 37, discovered a sexually explicit video of Leviss, 28, on Sandoval’s phone after watching the 40-year-old’s cover band, Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, perform on March 1.
It then came to light that the pair had been having a secret tryst since at least July 2022, prompting Madix to dump Sandoval after nearly 10 years of dating.
Though filming had wrapped for Season 10 when the scandal broke, Bravo cameras went back up to capture the fallout — including a post-affair kiss between Sandoval and Leviss and a conversation between the bar owner and Madix that left the latter feeling “gaslit.”
While King isn’t a fan of Sandoval or his actions, she appreciates the “Pump Rules” crew for giving viewers a glimpse at the good, bad and ugly aspects of their personal lives.

“I’m a big fan of the show in general,” the “Intimate Knowledge with Meghan King” podcast host told us.
“And you know why? Because it’s so authentic and organic, and I love that about it.”
King, for her part, navigated a sexting scandal of her own involving her now-ex-husband, Jim Edmonds, in 2019.
The former MLB player, 52 — who shares daughter Aspen, 6, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 4, with King — admitted that he “engaged in an inappropriate conversation” online but denied any physical contact with another woman.
Still, King told Page Six that she empathizes with Madix, who was initially “heartbroken” over Sandoval’s infidelity.
“I know what it’s like to be in a cheating scandal in the public eye, and it sucks,” she shared. “I don’t have any advice except that it’s going to end at some point.”
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m ET on Bravo.
