Tom Sandoval Pays Penance For Scandal In New ‘Special Forces’
Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval is diversifying his resume. Recently, he appeared in the new season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. With his involvement in the affair with Rachel Leviss, aka Raquel, Tom has faced massive ridicule. Likewise, during Special Forces, a military leader blatantly mocks him in front of the world. Fans seem to be enjoying watching him squirm.
Tom Sandoval Renamed To “Scandoval”
Right before the show, Tom Sandoval was outed for having an affair with his friend and Vanderpump Rules co-star Rachel Leviss. Since he was caught cheating on his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, the news came as a shock to fans. Admittedly, Tom Sandoval said that the past few months had been the “darkest of his life.”
Embarrassingly, he disclosed his last name became a joke during this concerning “Scandoval.” While it is the fan-given name of his cheating scandal, Tom acknowledges it and seems very regretful of his actions. Knowing the whole country was pissed off at him, Tom later revealed he chose to be in Special Forces because he wanted to punish himself for his Pump Rules dirty deeds. While being interviewed for Special Forces, he was solemn and seemed remorseful about his situation.
