Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright recently launched a new podcast. And, in the first episode of the show, they discussed Tom Sandoval‘s long relationship with Rachel Lewisclose friends and Vanderpump Rules her boyfriend with her and her ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix.
Before opening Scheana Shay almost forced to miss the reunion due to Raquel’s restraining orders against her, who accused Scheana of stabbing her in New York City, Jax and Brittany say “Scandoval” and react. Tom Schwartz concealing treason.
“The difference is, there’s a relationship,” Jax said of the potential comparison between “Scandoval” and his cheating on Brittany with Faith Stowers on March 28 episode of When Reality Hits with Jax & Brittany.
He went on to say that he believed there was more infidelity than was being revealed.
“Maybe there’s another relationship, even behind Raquel’s back,” he suspected. “I don’t think he’s the only one. Having a relationship when you are in a relationship for a long time… Lack of empathy and premeditation of it all. It’s going. You know exactly what you are doing.
In addition to being involved in a relationship that lasted several months, Jax accused Sandoval of treating Raquel because she is “not a strong person” and “can be easily controlled.”
Meanwhile, Brittany added, “What he did is unforgivable. It’s the whole relationship behind him coming back. I don’t even know what I’m going to do. [It] my heart breaks and i can’t believe he did that to Ariana.
Weeks after the scandal broke, the Pump Rules cast reunited for the reunion movie, and almost did without Scheana.
“[Scheana] will not rise until [the night before]. He got a call at like 9 o’clock,” he said, “because Raquel got a restraining order. So there should be police there. They should. How do you lift a restraining order in five hours?”
At that moment, Brittany contradicted Raquel’s statement to her friend.
“Scheana won’t shut up punching anybody. I just can’t believe it. It’s all so ridiculous,” she said.
As for Schwartz’s knowledge of the relationship, Jax said he felt “really bad” for her.
“People are following them. You have to understand, they’re two best friends,” Jax explained. “He said to Tom, ‘You have to tell him.’ That’s all you can do. They’re both adults. You can only do so much. I don’t know how long it will take them to figure it out. [But] I feel bad for Schwartz because he took on this burden and they have a business together.
“I hate that Schwartz knows and I’m sure Ariana is hurt because she doesn’t know either,” Brittany replied.
Later, when asked who she still friends with in the cast, Brittany said that her closest cast members were Scheana, Christian Douteand Lala Kentrung.
“Of course I love Ariana,” he added.
And for Jax, he shared, “I talk to Schwartz, Lala, Scheana… They all come to our house regularly. They’ll be filming and all of a sudden they’ll come to our house and release it. Our house is like a hub for everyone. Everyone come to our house to decompress and let loose.
“I got Lala, Scheana, from last night, Kristen,” he explained.
Also in the debut episode of When Reality HitsBrittany offers an update on Jax’s relationship with Kristen.
“I forced Jax and Kristen to talk last night,” she announced. “[He needs] to unblock him. It was difficult when Jax was beefing with someone in the group. It makes me so uncomfortable, He is literally one of my best friends. Every time I’m sick in the ER, not too long ago, he drops everything and comes in there and helps the baby… So I just love him.
Brittany then looked back as she dissed Charlie Burnett at Watch What Happens Live last month, admitted that he picked her up when asked which cast member she ‘d told “rawt in hell” because she could not think of anyone else.
“I don’t even know him, I don’t even like him,” he insisted. “I only said that because I was like, ‘Who else do I have to tell?’ I just don’t know who to tell. I don’t even know the girl and she kind of followed you around one winter at the reunion but it’s been so long I don’t care anymore.
