Tom Sandoval Calls Out Lala and Scheana for Publicly Disowning Him While Being His Friend in Private, Plus He Shades New Cast of Vanderpump Rules

Tom Sandoval called out Lala Kent and Scheana Shay for publicly disowning him despite seeing him in private. The Vanderpump Rules alum, who was fired with the rest of last season’s cast, shaded the show’s new stars, and he recalled when he and his former coworkers were “waiting” to quit Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR restaurant, which was the backdrop of the series.

Two years ago, Tom’s affair with Rachel Leviss was exposed to fans. The backlash was so intense that certain castmates are still unwilling to publicly acknowledge him. For a while, anyone associated with Tom was blasted online.

In recent interviews, both Lala and Scheana have shaded Tom and suggested they aren’t close to him.

On the Death, Taxes, and Bananas podcast, Tom addressed Lala’s interview.

“Here I am like reaching out talking to Lala, and then she goes on to Watch What Happens Live and [says,] ‘Too little too late, buddy,’ and then literally three days later is like calling me up and inviting me over to her house,” said Tom, via @thebravoinvestigator on Instagram. “Scheana [was] talking about how she doesn’t talk to me, and then literally we’re like texting back and forth about Masked Singer [and other things]. It just like … hurts my feelings.”

“I’ve been used by every single cast member in that way, you know, to benefit themselves [to] my misery … It hurts my feelings,” he emphasized. “They’re still like, ‘I won’t associate or I don’t associate with him publicly,’ but … I’ve been loving, caring friends to all of these people. I’ve been there when nobody else would be. I’ve been the one person that you can f**king call at five in the morning because you’re locked out of your house, and I will f**king answer and I will come over.”

At one point, Tom reflected on his previous job as a SURver before Pump Rules was created.

“We just happened to work at this restaurant,” said Tom of his castmates, whom he had known for “years” before the show. “[We were] waiting for the day where we could go into SUR [and tell] Guillermo, Lisa, ‘Sorry, guys, I’m leaving. I’ve made it big in the movies.’ … It was always a means to an end.”

He then threw shade at the new cast.

“They wanted to get a job [at the restaurant to] hopefully make it into the background of one of our scenes, or hopefully try to hook up with a cast member to try to make it on the show,” he said, via @realityops on Instagram. “Their goals were to make it on the show. I know one person that was trying to get on the show who literally came into town and took an Uber straight from the airport to SUR to get a job there.”

He suggested that the new cast is inorganic, and the show should change its name. Tom also hinted that Lisa has so many restaurants now that she “probably hardly know[s] these f**king people.”
