according to TMZthey Yelp This page has also been flooded with bad reviews since the cheating news broke – forcing the company to temporarily block the ability to leave comments. All of which seemed to prompt the 39-year-old reality star to issue a public apology — but not to Ariana. Not! He took to the ‘gram on Saturday night to ask fans to leave their loved ones and Schwartz alone, shutting down the theory that the 40-year-old knew about the relationship with Raquel, and only apologized for being involved in business. Sandoval wrote:
“Hey, I understand and deserve your anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave Schwartz, my friends and family out of this situation… Schwartz in particular only knows about this, and most certainly does not condone my actions. This is a very personal matter .Also, Schwartz & Sandy’s may have my name, but there are also 3 other partners and 20 employees, who mainly rely on the restaurant for income for themselves and their families.
Sandoval and Schwartz’s employees certainly should not have to suffer for their actions! The singer continued:
“Like Tom Tom, I am a small part of a bigger thing. Please direct your anger at me and not him. He did nothing wrong. I am sorry that my partners, Greg, Brett, Schwartz and employees had to suffer because of my actions. I will resign 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.”
wow Obviously, he could apologize in person during one of the conversations. But you would think Sandoval would mention or say little about the woman he has been with for nine years and allegedly lied about in his first official statement on the matter.
