Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz caught in tense conversation while filming ‘Vanderpump Rules’
Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz appeared tense as the cameras rolled for Season 11 of the popular reality show “Vanderpump Rules.” In exclusive photos obtained by TheFantasyTimes, the two were seen shopping together at 3SixTeen in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles on Friday. The body language of Sandoval and Schwartz seemed agitated at times as they selected clothing in front of the cameras. At one point, Sandoval, dressed in a black tank top and khakis, gave a piercing look while resting his hand on his hip and speaking with Schwartz. This shopping trip took place nearly four months after Sandoval’s highly publicized cheating scandal with his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix and her former best friend Raquel Leviss. The two met up in Little Tokyo on Friday.
The body language of the business partners seemed tense while being filmed. Sandoval’s relationship with his business partner at TomTom and Schwartz & Sandy’s also appeared rocky earlier this month during their joint filming. In a secretly recorded clip, Sandoval could be heard talking to Schwartz about Greg Morris, the owner of Schwartz & Sandy’s, mentioning something about Morris “stubbing his toe” and “ruining everything.” Sandoval seemed tense during their conversation and had his back turned to the camera. However, there were moments of smiles shared during their outing.
In April, Schwartz made it clear that he initially supported his best friend. During an interview with host Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live,” Schwartz seemed to justify Sandoval’s decision to cheat on Madix, his girlfriend of nearly 10 years. He stated, “He’s addicted. It’s an infatuation of infatuations,” and added, “Raquel is Tom’s heroin.” However, their friendship has been on a rollercoaster since news of Sandoval’s cheating scandal broke.
As previously reported by TheFantasyTimes, Schwartz hasn’t been Sandoval’s biggest fan since the drama unfolded on “Vanderpump Rules.” Just last month, Schwartz mentioned that he was “taking a break” from Sandoval following the cheating scandal. He expressed his resentment towards Sandoval for creating a mess and leaving it for others to clean up. Schwartz stated on an episode of “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany,” “It’s hard for me not to resent him… I’m taking a break from Tom right now.” In March, it was revealed that Sandoval had been cheating on his long-time girlfriend Ariana Madix with her former best friend Raquel Leviss.
Earlier this week, Sandoval was spotted crying outside of SUR, the main filming location for “Vanderpump Rules,” in West Hollywood, California. While the rest of the reality stars, including his ex-girlfriend Madix, continued filming, Sandoval was seen crying alone. At one point, fellow castmate and Madix’s best friend, Scheana Shay, appeared to have a heated exchange with Sandoval at the restaurant. The cameras have started rolling for the latest season of the popular reality series, with the entire cast present except for Leviss. It has been reported that Leviss is still negotiating her contract with Bravo executives.
“She wants to secure the best possible deal, so she is playing hardball,” a source exclusively revealed to TheFantasyTimes. “But for the right price, she will be there.” Bravo has not yet announced a premiere date for Season 11 of “Vanderpump Rules.”
