It’s been a tough time for Tom Sandoval … and it’s only getting tougher.
Don’t get me wrong, men’s problems are 100 percent of their own making, but at least Ariana Madix and others who have been wronged by their actions can take solace in the fact that men are always in a very dark place.
As you must have heard by now, Sandoval was caught cheating on Ariana Madix with a friend of the couple and Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss.
In addition to the guilt and the potential loss of customers at the two LA restaurants he owns, Sandoval now has to contend with the loss of the “nice guy” reputation he’s built over the past decade.
Not surprisingly, Tom’s critics are having a field day with his fall from grace.
One such critic is the former Vanderpump star Stassi Schroeder, who was fired from the show in 2020 after his own scandal.
Stassi spoke to Scandoval about the latest episode of her podcast, and predictably, she did not words in italics.
“I feel like I shouldn’t say I’m Team Ariana. There should be no choice. That’s not up for debate,” Schroeder said.
Stassi then laments that Tom and Ariana recently wrote a cocktail recipe book.
“I hate that Tom Sandoval finally got his hands on his book and now they’re showing it Fancy AF cocktails,” he grimaced.
“I think that’s the most sh-tty.”
According to Stassi, Sandoval’s reputation as a good person is definitely not earned.
“We all know that Sandoval is a selfish, narcissistic and selfish person who spent ten years trying to convince everyone that he was a good person,” she said on her podcast.
“It’s got to be a whole new level of evil to do this to someone who isn’t just a good partner to you,” Stassi said.
“That was my first text to my producer, ‘I’m not going to lie, this good guy has been acting for 10 years.’
From there, he compared the situation to the debacle of the season when Kristen Doute cheated on Sandoval with Jax Taylor.
“You can’t compare all Christians [Doute] and Jax [Taylor] situation because it’s four times trillion,” said Stassi.
“A 10-year relationship where you have a house together – they’re married.”
Tom and Ariana are not literally married, of course, but we get what Stassi said.
Cheating is like a man cheating on his wife.
Speaking of Sandoval’s previous girlfriend, Kristen Doute is also unapologetic about the situation.
But he focused his comments on Sandoval’s best friend and chief enabler, Tom Schwartz.
“Tom Schwartz is af–king py, and he needs to man up,” Kristen said during a recent appearance on Scheana Shay’s podcast.
“Enough is enough. They just bury their heads in the sand and think that things will go away and they will,” she said.
“It’s like he can be honest with us in real time and text, ‘I can’t stand this’ or ‘I really feel it,’ but he doesn’t do anything.
Earlier this week, Lala Kent blasted Toms, and it seems that no one in the group is too happy with Sandoval and Schwartz at the moment.
Except for Raquel, that is – but her opinion doesn’t count for much now!
UPDATE: Bravo’s Instagram account just posted this photo of Christian, along with a caption that read:
“Spotted: Kristen Doute filming for this season of #PumpRules”
Well, the network has confirmed that Kristen will be returning to the show that made her famous, possibly so she can roast her ex!
Could Sandoval’s week be any worse?!
