Most recently, it is Katie Maloney who spoke out against Sandoval and Raquel Lala Kentrunghis podcast.
“[I can] confidently say ‘f–k you,’” Katie told Raquel on the March 15 episode of Give them Lala, via Page Six. “I gave you every chance. I was good to you when I shouldn’t have been, but I was. The fact that you don’t follow or respect or acknowledge, and you walk around and throw big garbage, you’re an idiot.
“You deserve … what’s coming to you now,” he added.
Katie also had harsh comments for Sandoval, who she said “never” respected or acknowledged her.
“I never had a chance with him. He always found fault with me,” he said.
Although Katie admitted to seeing “deep … similarities” in Sandoval and Ariana’s relationship when she went through her separation from Schwartz last year, she did not feel comfortable approaching Ariana with her concerns.
“Who wants to say, ‘Hey, you know my marriage broke up because of all this? I saw it in your own relationship?'” he asked.
And Lala agrees, pointing out that Sandoval’s alleged relationship with Raquel went down “right in front of” Ariana.
“Not many women are strong enough to say, ‘This is not what I want,'” Lala explained. “I admire… that something terrible didn’t happen for you to gain that power [to leave Schwartz].”
