“Schwartz & Sandy’s may have my name on it, but there are also 3 other partners and 20 employees, who primarily rely on the restaurant for income for themselves and their families. Like TomTom, I am a small part of a bigger thing. Please direct your anger at me and not him. He didn’t do anything wrong,” he said on Instagram at the time. “I’m sorry that my partners, Greg, Brett, and Schwartz, and employees had to suffer because of my actions. I’m going to step back and take a break out of respect for my employees and partners. I need some time to deal with everything else. I’m sorry for everything.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
