Following his emotional outbursts during the most recent Vanderpump Rules reunion special, Tom Sandoval, co-owner of TomTom, has found himself in the middle of a controversy. Concern over Sandoval’s actions has significantly deteriorated in the public eye.
The incident happened when Sandoval tried unsuccessfully several times to have an off-camera private conversation with Raquel Leviss. Fans have expressed their interpretations of these actions on social media.
Someone wrote on social media, “I’m in a very delicate position right now’ LMAO, stop Vanderpump Rules,” and another said, “Sandoval is spiraling out because they won’t let him manipulate Raquel away from the cameras. Continue to roll the cameras. #Pumprules #VanderpumpRules.
Viewers reacted strongly to a scandalous conversation between the two in the trailer as well. One viewer’s outraged response to the statement “We haven’t lied about anything besides this affair” brought attention to how contentious it was. “Raquel isn’t cool with the optics of the actual RELATIONSHIP that she home wrecked #pumprulesreunion #VanderpumpRules,” another viewer commented.
Andy Cohen, the head of Bravo and host of the Vanderpump Rules reunions, unexpectedly expressed his support for the troubled Sandoval. Regarding the affair scandal, Cohen criticized the “out of control” behavior of some fans.
In an interview with the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Cohen said, “Tom Sandoval made a mistake he’ll probably regret for the rest of his life.” He emphasized that despite his actions, Sandoval is still a person.
Cohen expressed hope that the situation would eventually settle for Sandoval’s sake in response to the overwhelmingly positive responses from fans to the scandal-making incident. He actually exists. He did something incredibly foolish, hurtful, and ridiculous. Cohen continued, “[but] he didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t do anything wrong.
The fallout from Tom Sandoval’s actions in the Vanderpump Rules reunion was special and continues to spark heated discussions and debates among fans as public opinion of him reaches an all-time low.
