Tom Schwartz Knew About ‘Scandoval’ Since August, One-Time Thing

Tom Schwartz admitted that he knew about ‘Scandoval’ since August 2022. This makes sense if the seven-month affair timeline is to be believed. However, that was also when Schwartz kissed Raquel Leviss for the first time so there are a lot of gray areas. Read on for what Katie Maloney’s ex-husband spilled about Tom Sandoval and the affair that rocked Bravo.

Tom Schwartz Knew About ‘Scandoval’ Since August, One-Time Thing

When Tom Schwartz appeared on WWHL Wednesday night, he held nothing back. The Vanderpump Rules star admitted that he knew Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss had slept together back in August. However, he believed that this was a one-time thing. Keep in mind, Scheana Shay’s Mexico wedding happened back in August 2022. That was right when Raquel Leviss and Schwartz finally kissed for the first time with both claiming that they had a genuine connection.

At the same time, Scheana Shay admitted that a photo was discovered from her wedding by a friend. It was of Tom Sandoval and Raquel hanging out alone. Where was Ariana Madix, Sandoval’s girlfriend of almost a decade? She was with Scheana being a good bridesmaid so clearly distracted and not thinking her best friend would be sleeping with her boyfriend. Plus, for all they knew, Raquel was into Schwartz. The two shared their first kiss at the end of Wednesday night’s episode of VPR.

Tom Schwartz went on to share that Sandoval told him that he was in fact in love with Raquel in January of this year. This was not actually a one-night stand but a full-on romance. Additionally, Sandoval tried to spin it to suit him, claiming that he and Ariana were more or less over. Schwartz learned that this was false and wanted him to do the right thing. He felt Ariana deserved to know what was going on between Raquel and Sandoval but, by that time, it was too late.

When Was Sandoval Going To Spill?

Per Tom Schwartz, it looked like Tom Sandoval was waiting until after the Season 10 reunion to end things with Ariana Madix. Unfortunately for him, she discovered it at the beginning of March. That was when the Bravo-verse went crazy over what Sandoval and Raquel Leviss had done. Schwartz confirmed that the Vanderpump Rules cast went harder on Sandoval than Leviss at the reunion. However, due to a TRO that Leviss had brought on Scheana, the two ladies could not be filmed together.

Therefore, Tom Sandoval was the one who was filmed with the group for the entire day. Of course, he would get hit harder if he was there longer. In the end, Schwartz does not think the two will last but yes, Sandoval is still in love with Raquel. This is a lot to handle but Tom Schwartz will always have his best buddy’s back.

Are you surprised that Tom Schwartz knew about the affair for this long and stayed silent? Or do you think Schwartz is blinded by Tom Sandoval? Let us know and watch Vanderpump Rules Wednesdays on Bravo.
