Tom Sandoval FRANTIC After Fans Boycott His Restaurant … He Begs For Forgiveness

Tom Sandoval is frantic after Vanderpump Rules fans organized a boycott against his new restaurant amid his cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss.

Raquel Leviss

As reported, there has been a 7-month-long clandestine relationship between Vanderpump Rules co-stars, Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval, who have kept it concealed from Ariana Madix, Sandoval’s girlfriend.

On Friday, Tom Sandoval spoke about his breakup with Ariana Madix and the cheating scandal during his Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras concert.

He addressed the crowd at his concert — asking if they had ever been “One of the most hated people in America.” When fans responded by yelling “Ariana!” Sandoval replied, “We love her.”

Then on Saturday, he published a statement via Instagram in which he refrained from apologizing to  Ariana Madix. Instead, he focused on expressing his sympathy for his friends and family, following the widespread coverage of his affair with Raquel Leviss.

“Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave [Tom] Schwartz my friends and family out of this situation…” Tom Sandoval wrote on Instagram.

According to Sandoval, 39, Tom Schwartz, 40, became aware of the affair “very recently,” and “did not condone it.” 

Subsequently, Sandoval directed his attention on the resentment expressed by fans towards his and Schwartz’s recently opened bar in LA, named Schwartz & Sandy’s. After the news of the infidelity scandal emerged on Friday, many individuals called for a boycott of the establishment.

“There are 3 other partners and 20 employees, who rely on the restaurant for income for them and their families,” Sandoval wrote. “Just like [first bar] TomTom, I’m a small part of a much bigger thing.” He pleaded. “Please direct ur anger towards me and not them. They did nothing wrong.”

Sandoval informed his followers that he will be “taking a step back,”  from the business “out of respect” for his co-workers and employees.

In a rather ominous conclusion to his message, Sandoval refrained from directly acknowledging his unfaithfulness or the ensuing breakup. Instead, he expressed his need to address other matters and apologized, stating, ““I need some time to address everything else. Sorry for everything.”

As reported, the former couple, who had been together for nine years since 2014, had broken up. Ariana Madix ended the relationship after discovering Sandoval’s 7-month affair with Raquel Leviss.

Sources said that Sandoval and Madix had been having problems for some time, but things came to a head on Thursday, March 2, the same night Madix was seen supporting Sandoval at the release party for his band’s latest single, “Superstars.” Sandoval is the co-owner of TomTom and co-founder of Schwartz & Sandy’s.

This is the second time that Sandoval has faced accusations of cheating since the premiere of Vanderpump Rules in 2013. During season 2 of the Bravo show, rumors circulated that the restaurateur had cheated on his then-girlfriend, Kristen Doute, with Ariana Madix. Despite both bartenders denying any wrongdoing at the time, Sandoval and Madix began dating later that year after Sandoval ended things for good with Kristen.

In December 2021, Raquel also went through a breakup of her own with ex-fiancé, James Kennedy, after dating for over five years. The couple announced the news on social media later that month, just ahead of filming the season 9 reunion special for the Bravo series.

Although Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval were in a nine-year relationship, not all of their Vanderpump Rules co-stars supported their union. In February, Lala Kent appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and urged Madix to move on.

Lala Kent, who had recently ended her own long-term romance, said, “I love Ariana. We just have to get her out next,” referring to herself and Katie Maloney.

Following news of Sandoval’s cheating scandal with RaquelLala took to social media to slam Sandoval and encourage fans to taunt him at his concert. She urged them to chant “ARIANA! ARIANA!” during his show, claiming that Madix had given her “content” to use against Sandoval. Lala also expressed her hunger for revenge — saying, “I’m feeling like a lion who needs to feast on a little gazelle. I’m eating good tonight.”

Meanwhile, James Kennedy, aged 31, shared a screenshot of an article about the breakup on his Instagram account. He expressed his disgust with the situation, commenting, “Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything.”
