“I’ve never body-shamed Ariana. I don’t know if that was taken out of context. I think people added their own context to it,” he told TMZ.

According to Sandoval, his comments have “nothing to do with her body.” He seemingly implied she was not great in bed.

“If somebody, like, wanted to have sex with me and I, like, unzipped my zipper and said like, ‘Oh, hurry up. I gotta meet somebody for lunch,'” Sandoval said. “It was more about the unenthusiasm.”

Bravo exec Andy Cohen says Sandoval’s remarks were especially offensive because he is a straight man.

“It’s gonna cut to the core for a lot of women,” Cohen stated. “It’s just something that a straight guy — the category is, ‘Things straight guys should never say about women.'”

Sandoval is now rumored to be dating Raquel Leviss but the pair are yet to make it official.

“He made a big mess and he left it for us to clean up,” Schwartz said on “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany.” “It’s hard for me not to be resentful of him … I’m taking a break from Tom right now.”

He continued, “In this case in particular, I really do feel like he exploited me.”

Sandoval’s affair has cost them some much-needed business. Sandoval appears to still be in a relationship with Raquel Leviss, the former best friend of his partner of nine years, Ariana Madix.

After the scandal was exposed, Sandoval announced he would be hitting the road with his band.

“I know he’s very passionate about the band but the optics of it — not even from my point of view but people see that he’s up there and he’s singing his heart out with his shirt off,” he continued. “It just looks like he has no contrition, it looks like he just doesn’t give a f-ck and he is living out his rockstar dreams.”

“Tom Sandoval made a mistake he’ll probably regret for the rest of his life,” Andy said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “[But] he is still a person. He didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t commit a crime. He’s a real person. He did something really stupid and hurtful and asinine [but] he didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t commit a crime,” he explained.

“It’s out of control, I hope it’s kind of dying down for his sake,” he added.

During the reunion, Andy pointed out that all of the cast members have cheated on their partners except for Katie Maloney and Lisa Vanderpump.

Sandoval was recently photographed talking on the phone with Raquel on a flight to Pittsburgh. There had been reports of a breakup but they appear to still be together.

“They had sex in my guest room while I was sleeping in my own bed that he and I went to bed in together and then he left the bed and went to the guest room and f-cked her,” she said on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Ariana was recently pictured moving out of the home she shares with Tom. But the star says she still lives there.

“I’m moving up not out, well not yet at least. It’s time to get my financial house in order. I will have more to share with you very, very soon,” she said, revealing it was an ad for a company and not a real move. She later confirmed to PEOPLE that she is still living with Sandoval. The couple own the LA home together.

Since their affair was exposed, they have kept their distance from each other, mostly.

The Messenger that first broke the news of the breakup.

“[Sandoval’s] relationships with everyone right now are on the back burner, and he’s focusing on his music,” the source told the outlet. “He’s about to turn 40 and trying his best to move away from all of this, but he’s struggling at times. Like anyone trying to better themselves, it’s one day at a time.”

But Sandoval’s ex Ariana Madix thinks it’s all a lie. She revealed she found out about the affair after Sandoval’s phone fell out of his pocket, revealing an explicit video of her.

“I found a screen recording of them on FaceTime. It was literally from the night before,” she told her co-stars on Wednesday’s finale episode.

“Tom and Raquel never put a label on their relationship to begin with,” a source told PEOPLE. “After their affair was exposed and the blowback they received, they said that before defining things, they needed to take time to address the issues in their own lives that drove them to this in the first place. And that’s where things still are.”

However, on Watch What Happens Live, Tom’s ex, Ariana Madix, said she did not believe they are not together.

“I don’t buy that at all. She was sending letters to my house like four days ago,” she said. Ariana added that she had not opened the letters as it is against the law, but she could see clearly that the handwriting belonged to Racquel.

“I just brought in the mail, saw it, put it on the table and walked away,” she said.

Billie was recently spotted staying the night at Tom’s, who has been shunned by most of the cast for his affair with Raquel Leviss.

“Tom and Ariana are my family, they have been there for me over the years and I wouldn’t be where I’m am today without them,” she wrote on Instagram. “It saddens me that people are so fixated on picking a side. Both are human and are both hurting in their own ways.”

She defended Tom, who is one of her best friends, adding that she is still holding him accountable for his actions.

“There is a world where you can support and be there for both parties and that’s the world I choose to live in.”

Lee concluded, “Ariana seems to be in a way better place, I’m so happy that she is moving on and Tom is really working hard on himself. I’ll continue to love and support them, unconditionally.”

Speaking to TMZ he said he was “really happy” for Madix after photos surfaced of her getting close with fitness influencer Daniel Wei over the weekend at Coachella.

When asked if he saw the photos of Ariana and Wei he said, “Yes. I love that.”

A source spilled the tea to People and claimed the hookup isn’t serious.

“Ariana just got out of a long relationship, and isn’t jumping into anything serious,” the insider said. “What you’re seeing is a woman who is single and having fun.”

Tom’s current boo, Raquel Leviss, has checked herself into a mental health facility.

“Raquel and her family decided before the relationship was discovered that she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling,” her rep told the outlet. “She was scheduled to go in pre-reunion but decided she wanted to finish her filming commitment. Bravo and production were aware and in support of her journey towards better mental health.”

“It didn’t serve him well and I really don’t understand how he had any comfort level in even talking about what he thought Ariana felt or her reactions to things,” she said on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM channel.

Tom sat down with Howie Mandel and claimed he tried to break up with Ariana but she would not accept it.

She continued, “Where were we going with that? What were you trying to insinuate? That you were trying to break up with her but she was so needy and she just wouldn’t let [you] go? … Did he really think that was what we were going to take away from it?”

Dorina also questioned why Tom chose Mandel for the interview.

“Why Howie Mandel? He didn’t even know about the show. He didn’t know who Scheana [Shay] was. My mother, who is 83, probably knows who Scheana is,” she quipped.

Tom has not been fired from Vanderpump Rules but the viewers have turned against him.

His comments came a day after a source claimed Bravo producers were upset about the interview.

The source claimed they “had no clue he was doing this, of course not. They never would have allowed it. They’re putting so much time and energy into making sure the rest of the season is better than any other season and hyping up the reunion. So, him pulling this bitch move is basically producers’ worst-case scenario.”

It is reported that Tom could lose his job over the interview.

Tom spilled all the tea about the fallout of his affair with Raquel Leviss.

“They [producers] had no clue he was doing this, of course not. They never would have allowed it,” an insider told The Sun. “They’re putting so much time and energy into making sure the rest of the season is better than any other season and hyping up the reunion. So, him pulling this b–tch move is basically producers’ worst-case scenario.”

In the interview, Tom claimed he had tried to break up with Ariana on Valentine’s Day but that she refused to accept it.

Fans of the show are waiting for the reunion, which is promised to be explosive.

The source added that Bravo is so upset about the interview that “no one on the cast would be shocked or upset if he was fired.”

“They’ve been freaking out and basically scrambling since,” the source added, saying the producers “have no idea what he is going to reveal so they’re watching it in shock along with the fans.”

He said things started by them just hanging out. But after a while, things changed.

“And then we were back at my house, just talking” adding that they were “in the backyard” because he was “locked out” of the home he shares with Ariana Madix. He was still in a relationship with Ariana at the time.

“We just kissed. It was magnetic. We were talking, moving closer, and as we were talking, as time went on, we would just start talking closer and closer, and then all of a sudden, we’re kissing.”

The bar owner says he had tried to break with Ariana but she refused.

“I actually did break up with her on Valentine’s Day. I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier,” he said, adding that she was “completely in denial and not accepting it.”

“I sit down to talk to her and she’s like, ‘I’m not letting you leave me. You’re going to have to force me out of this relationship,'” said. “I was like, ‘Ariana, I don’t think I could be faithful in a relationship with you right now.'”

Sandoval says she punched him when he tried to end it.

“So obviously she was very upset, she punched me and all this sh-t,” he said. “But after she calmed down, we started talking, and a couple days later I sit down and talk to her again and she’s like, ‘I’m not letting u leave me. You’re gonna have to force me out of this relationship.’ I was like, ‘I don’t think I can be faithful in a relationship with you right now.'”

Tom admits that he did not tell her about his affair with Raquel.

“I hadn’t told her about Raquel yet but I was saying all these things,” he continued. “She’s like, ‘If you break up with me, you will effectively be ending my life.’ And I didn’t know what to do. She was completely in denial and not accepting it.”

“In January, Tom came to me … and he told me that he was in love with Raquel. I was flabbergasted,” Schwartz told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. “After that, I mean, Tom kind of got flagrant — he was brazen.”

He said to his knowledge, this had not been physical.

“Tom was having, like, a midlife crisis. I learned in August, in late August about the affair, the one-night stand — allegedly. From my point of view, it became, like, an emotional affair — which is still inappropriate,” he added.

Sandoval allegedly told Schwartz that he had been trying to break up with his then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, and that they had not been intimate for some time.

“He did a good job of placating me. … And he told me he has a game plan, he’s gonna do the right thing — and then he just kind of continued to kept procrastinate,” Schwartz added.

“Hindsight’s always 20/20, man. It’s like when you look back at a situation, you think of all the things [you] should’ve, would’ve, could’ve done to make it better,” he said. “Yes, I could’ve handled things way better. Of course.”

A source told PEOPLE that Tom owner Raquel came under fire for their actions while filming the special.

“He was just gaslighting her. The was no genuine apology,” she said on The Viall Files podcast. “He was saying how she never supports him, she doesn’t validate him. He was blaming her.”

Raquel and Tom had an affair that lasted months. Tom reportedly still wants to be with Raquel but she is ghosting him.

“Of course it made her mad, but then when I filmed with her, she’s like, crying and holding up her phone going, ‘So, he’s saying our relationship is that of convenience and contentment,’ or something. Not love and romance. And she’s immediately just flooding tears, looking at her phone going, ‘So, all of these memories, all of these wonderful trips we took, all of these videos I have, all these kissing photos, this was all bullsh-t?'”

Kristen thinks Tom wants to be with Raquel because she doesn’t have a backbone.

“Knowing how many people we hurt, I need to understand my choices and learn to make better ones.”

The Vanderpump Rules star says she now need to “work on self-growth and take time to be ok with being alone. I care for Tom and I don’t want to label anything or predict what lies ahead. Right now I need to heal,” her statement concluded.

According to sources, Tom’s girlfriend, Ariana Madix discovered he was cheating on her last Wednesday when she found a graphic video of Leviss on his phone.

Tom also reportedly threatened not to show up to a reunion after a scene with him and Leviss went left.

“Tom wasn’t happy with how the scene went with Raquel and felt like it was going to paint him in a negative light. He told producers he’d like to re-film the scene, but producers weren’t having it,” a source told ET. “Tom told production that he would no longer shoot Vanderpump Rules if they don’t listen to him.”

“Actually, I really want to talk about this because this kind of vigilante justice I don’t agree with at all,” she said on Watch What Happens Live.

“I think these are people that are living their life in a public forum, which is very difficult,” she continued. “There’s so much infidelity in the world. It’s not like they murdered anyone.”

Fans have been losing it after the “Scandoval” broke with some even threatening to boycott his restaurant.

“I’m not saying we should let them off the hook. Condemn their actions, but don’t condemn the people. All this aggression … it can have serious ramifications. I really mean that. I think everybody should be careful with that. I don’t like it and I don’t want to see it,” LVP added.

Both Tom and Raquel have issued statements via their social media. Tom apologized to his girlfriend of nine year, Ariana Madix.
