Tom Sandoval isn’t the most popular man in America right now.
and controversial vanderpump rules The star may have dug herself an even deeper hole with comments she made today on comedian Howie Mandel’s podcast.
Ever since fans found out about his relationship with Raquel Lewis, Sandoval has wisely made very few public comments.
Speaking with Mandel, Sandoval elaborated on his nasty breakup with Ariana Madix, and how his attempt at damage control might not have won him many new fans.
Tom admits that he began his relationship with Raquel while he was still with Ariana, but claims that he tried to break up with Lewis two weeks before he found out about the affair.
Sandoval claimed, “I actually broke up with him on Valentine’s Day.”
“I just broke up with him two weeks ago, and I told him, I said, ‘Listen, we don’t have to post anything on social media, like, let’s talk it through,'” Tom continued. .
“She punched me and all that, but when she calmed down, we started talking.”
Tom says he promised Ariana that they would both “figure out a way to navigate this that helps both of us and makes it easier.”
He says he thought they were on the same page, but later realized Maddix was “in denial”.
“She’s like, ‘If you break up with me, you’re effectively ending my life,'” Sandoval said.
“I didn’t know what to do. She was in complete denial and wouldn’t accept it.”
Sandoval says Ariana “threatened suicide” and asked that he fertilize her frozen eggs to create an embryo.
Sandoval says that in the weeks that followed, Ariana began attending all of his band’s performances, and when they attended a food and wine fest together in Miami, she was with him every second.
“We’ve never been PDA unless it’s for photos or press or whatever. [but] She, like, in front of all these fans, she grabs me and knows I’m not going to push her in front of people, and she kisses me,” she told Mandel.
“My phone falls out of pocket, she looks at it and obviously, she’s the most upset and angry I’ve ever seen her, but I think she went through the phone to see if she was in Miami.” Something has happened to someone,” he recalled the night he finally found out about the affair.
“But we were broken up, she knew we were broken up.”
Sandoval ended the interview by complaining that he had been treated unfairly in the press.
“It’s just crazy how big this whole thing has become for who I am — I’m not like royal family, I’m on a reality show. Like, if Snooki has an affair with someone, is it going to be national news?” Will there be news?’ he asked.
“I never thought I’d put myself in a position like this – never. I mean, I’ve worked really hard for my image, for my businesses, for my integrity and everything. But it’s just Happened.
We don’t know if Snooki’s affair will be as big as Scandal’s.
But we know Snooks would probably do a better job of handling the fallout!
