Tom Sandoval can be fired through a tell-all interview with Howie Mandel.
According to a new report, Sandoval is completely “blind” Vanderpump Rules the producer when he signed in to appear on the comedian’s podcast, where he seemed to spoil many of the storylines expected to play out in the upcoming Reunion.
“They [Vanderpump Rules producers] didn’t know he was doing this, of course not. He’s not going to allow it,” an insider told The Sun on April 11. So, he’s pulling this b-tch step as a worst-case scenario from the producers.
As Pump Rules fans will remember, Sandoval and the cast met again on March 23 to film the season 10 reunion, where Sandoval and his now-ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madixis believed to have been talking about his relationship for months with friends and colleagues, Rachel Lewisand he and Raquel are expected to discuss their own relationship.
Producers have “been freaking out and basically scrambling since” Howie announced the interview earlier this week, the source continued. “They [had] didn’t know what he was going to reveal, so he surprised his fans.
After Sandoval opened up about the demise of his relationship with Ariana, admitted he dumped her on Valentine’s Day, accused her of violence, and revealed where he stands with Raquel today, among many other things, the producers were reeling.
They were “so pissed off,” the insider said, noting that while the crew had become “family,” Sandoval’s decision to do this behind his back was like a “big ‘f-ck you’ for everyone.”
“Nobody will be surprised or upset if he is fired,” the source added.
After the launch on Tuesday, fans tweeted to Andy Cohensuggested that he welcome Howie to the talk show, Watch What Happens Live.
“We need Howie Mandel on WWHL after a grueling interview to explain [himself]said the man.
But Andy didn’t come in, answered simply, “Or not.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
