• Tom Schwartz is finally sharing his thoughts on the scandal surrounding his best friend and business partner Tom Sandoval
• Whose affair with Vanderpump Rules costar Raquel Leviss led to the breakup of his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix. Schwartz.
• He hasn’t talked to her since the news broke of the affair, adding that it is “really unfortunate.”

Tom Schwartz is now speaking out about the incident involving his closest friend and business partner Tom Sandoval, whose nine-year marriage to Ariana Madix was ended by his liaison with Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss.

“I believe Sandoval is doing fine. In a relative sense, I mean, he feels tremendous sadness about the fact that he is a piece of s—-, and he should. And in some ways, perhaps he is,” 40-year-old Schwartz told TMZ Saturday at the airport. Nonetheless, the fact that he is aware of his error makes the situation more sad.

Schwartz continued, “Fortunately, Ariana has a pretty wonderful support system, and she’s with her pals. “I hope she’s enjoying herself and leading a happy life. I’m hoping she has a living spree. Just praying for this,

Although he admitted that Ariana has “plenty of friends and family who love her,” he said he was “worried about her.”

In regards to Leviss, Schwartz told TMZ he hasn’t spoken to her since the scandal surrounding the affair broke, calling it “very unfortunate.” He added that Scheana Shay and the alleged attack of Leviss had not been discussed.

He also stated whether he kissed Leviss in order to hide the fact that she was having an affair with Sandoval. “That’s not true, no. I wasn’t a pawn in the game, unless I was,” he said.

You’ll see it play out on the show, Schwartz remarked when asked if he was aware of the relationship.

It’s f—-ing difficult. That is the year’s biggest understatement. I believe Tom is doing fine, he said. Sincerely, I’m just sad about the negative impact it’s having on our business, but I think cooler heads will prevail, and I’m just gonna keep on keeping on.”

The two 40-year-old celebrities share ownership of two Los Angeles companies: Schwartz & Sandy’s, which they debuted in late 2022, and TomTom, which they co-founded with Lisa Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd in 2018.

According to a statement on the cocktail bar’s official Instagram, a “outpouring of fury” followed reports of Sandoval’s affair with 28-year-old Leviss.

In addition, Sandoval provided a statement of his own on the company and the people his actions had touched.

He said on March 4: “Schwartz & Sandy’s might bear my name, but there are also 3 other partners and 20 staff, who particularly rely on the restaurant for income for them and their families. “Like TomTom, I’m a minor component of something much larger.

As he pointed out, Schwartz “particularly only found out about this very lately, and most definitely did not condone my behavior,” Sandoval also pleaded with his nearly 1 million Instagram followers to “please leave Schwartz my friends and family out of this problem.”
He continued, “This was a really personal issue.
But not everyone agreed with Sandoval’s assertion — On the March 8 edition of Watch What Happens Live, Vanderpump, 62, stated to Andy Cohen that she “never really trusted” Sandoval and conjectured that Schwartz knew more than his pal had said.
She remarked, “I think they are so close. I believe he was aware of something.

She stated, “I think Sandoval and Leviss had a game plan, and I think it was to get through the reunion, then to let the bomb drop and, if there was another season, then have a few weeks, a few months to get used to it.”

She continued, “I assumed he was in love with Ariana. “This is causing a couple who have been together for [nine] years to split up. Raquel is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, which is the lie.”
Schwartz was also accused of kissing Leviss at Coachella in April while going through his divorce with co-star Katie Maloney, 36, thickening the plot – both on and off the Bravo reality program about the buddies. At the time, he refuted the rumor, but later kiss Leviss during Scheana Shay’s August 2022 wedding in Mexico shortly before his divorced was settled last September.

Sandoval and Madix, 37, split up on March 3, according to PEOPLE. According to insiders, she saw a private video of the former pageant queen on his phone, which led her to realize he was having an affair with Leviss.

An informant claims that the couple “had issues for some time, but this was the tipping point for Ariana. She endured a lot over the years, but she won’t stand by and let her dignity be treated in this manner.”

With so many former and current Vanderpump Rules cast members involved, production resumed the weekend after the news broke, and season 10 will feature the “Scandoval’s” repercussions.
