Often quoted as the, “most hated man in America” Tom Sandoval found it fitting to address the drama between him and his former long term girlfriend Ariana Madix through Instagram. Tom Sandoval is the well known media celebrity and Bartender from America. He gained a fan following through the reality TV show Vanderpump Rules. Sandoval and Madix became a couple during the second season of the show.
How did Sandoval become the most hated man in America?
It all began with Sandoval having an affair with Madix’s best friend and fellow Vanderpump Rules cast member Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. Sandoval was having an affair with Leviss behind the camera without the knowledge of any production or crew members. Dubbed as ‘ Scandoval’ the former Vanderpump star found himself amidst backlash. Sandoval and Madix are a fan favorite. Their nine year long courtship, co-authoring a book and being dog parents has made it harder for fans to move on from the duo.
Of revenge and Humiliation
Things took a heated turn as Madix caught her boyfriend cheating. She found an explicit video of Leviss on Sandoval’s phone. Leviss is suing both Sandoval and Madix for filming her without her consent. Leviss on her podcast discusses about “love bombing”, she explains how she was in love with a, “narcissistic a**hole”. She accuses both of them for humiliating and using her. Sandoval clarifies most of the damages were a cause of Leviss’ own negligence and “carelessness”.
Suing or not suing
Recently it came as a shock that Sandoval had filed a cross-complaint against Ariana Madix. For sharing and obtaining access to Leviss’ explicit videos without his permission. But wait ! Sandoval is not suing anymore? Turns out Sandoval’s attorney Matt Geragos’ implications for a Cross- complaint were not clear to him. As he says in his own words, “the words “New Lawsuit” or “suing” were not articulated to me”. Looks like the exes won’t be battling it out on each other. And as Sandoval puts it, “finally MOVE ON with our lives”.
