There’s always room for drama in West Hollywood — especially when it involves Lisa Vanderpump and her former protégés, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval.
Over the weekend, fans were quick to notice a subtle but unmistakably shady move outside the famed TomTom bar: the sign bearing the establishment’s name was fully covered up. The bold gesture sent Bravo fans into a frenzy — especially given the ongoing tension between Lisa Vanderpump and the Toms following the fallout of Scandoval and the shifting dynamics on Vanderpump Rules.
A Message Without Saying a Word
While Lisa Vanderpump hasn’t publicly commented on the cover-up, sources close to the production suggest the move was intentional and symbolic. After all, TomTom — once the pride of her restaurant empire — has become increasingly complicated as Sandoval’s public image took a major hit and Schwartz’s loyalty came into question.
“It’s Lisa’s way of saying, ‘I’m distancing myself,’” one insider shared. “She built the brand, she gave them the platform, and now she’s protecting her name.”
Fallout From the Toms
Sandoval’s cheating scandal sent shockwaves through the Vanderpump universe, ultimately leaving Lisa caught in the crossfire between loyalty and business. Schwartz, meanwhile, has struggled to find his footing in the post-Scandoval aftermath — with fans and cast members alike questioning his involvement and silence.
By covering the sign, Lisa may be signaling a shift in ownership, control, or at the very least — public alignment.
