Tom Sandoval Releases A 2nd Statement, Addresses Ariana

Tom Sandoval has released a second statement amid his cheating scandal. He has previously put out one that was not well-received. Now, he is addressing what he did and even his scorned ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix. So, what did Tom have to say? Read on for more details.

Tom Sandoval Releases A 2nd Statement, Addresses Ariana

After Tom Sandoval released his initial statement regarding his infidelity, it seemed insufficient. In it, he did not address his longtime now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix. Apparently, he had been having an affair with their close friend and Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss. This has been supposedly been occurring for months but caught Ariana completely off-guard when she learned about it on March 1st. In the first statement, Tom addressed his mistake and his business. He wanted those who felt hurt by the situation to put their anger toward him and not his restaurant Schwartz and Sandy’s.

Tom Sandoval further reiterated that he has so many employees and people who would be impacted by a rebellion against his businesses. Unfortunately, fans and co-stars felt this was not enough. Cast mates like Katie Maloney and Lala Kent asked where Ariana’s apology was in all of this. More so, she was the one who was betrayed by her boyfriend of nine years and her good friend. Didn’t she deserve some acknowledgment in all of this? Looks like Tom heard them loud and clear and released a second statement.

In this one, featured on his Instagram, he apologizes to Ariana and to everyone around them who felt the pain. However, he did acknowledge that there were things that went on between the couple that was not filmed. Therefore, it seemed like he was trying to allude to them having issues leading to the breakup. Yet, Tom does note that he wishes this all could have happened differently and realizes that Ariana deserved so much more.

He Does Not Want To Hear It

Obviously, Tom Sandoval is in no mood to hear what fans or followers have to say about his latest statement. He has turned off all comments on the post. Yet, the season is still filming, especially after the scandal broke. Unfortunately, Tom has threatened to stop filming recently after he did not like one that he did with Raquel. He is not a fan of how he was depicted and even VR alum Jax Taylor chimed in about it. Taylor, who left after Season 8, has a lot of thoughts regarding this situation and may be back on Bravo very soon.

What do you think of Tom Sandoval’s latest statement? Is it sufficient or a cop-out by talking about his BTS problems with Ariana? Let us know in the comments and watch Vanderpump Rules Wednesdays on Bravo.
