Vanderpump Rules Spoilers – Sandoval Sandoval Reveals Lessons From Scandal

As a result of the scandal, Tom revealed that his world began to collapse in “on itself. And you cannot see outside of your feelings,” he added. But as he thinks about how he cheated on Ariana, Sandoval called it “such a learning experience.”

And the Vanderpump Rules star said that he now realizes the impact of his months-long secret affair with Raquel. But he also noted, “And, you know, when you’re in a scenario like that and you’re so emotionally wrapped up in your feelings, you don’t think logically and you’re just f—ing selfish.”

However, Raquel and Tom reacted in very different ways to the scandal backlash. And though she backed off returning, Sandoval decided to make a comeback. But the two split. And Tom shared that he and Raquel did not talk to each other after the end of June.

However, appearing on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, Raquel admitted that she felt “disappointed” in herself. And she confessed that she feels regretful, wishing that she could “do everything differently.”

But Sandoval may have turned his life around through his podcast. After he confessed that he considered suicide, many fans supported him. For instance, one posted on social media, “It takes a strong person to share what he has.” And another noted, “People think celebrities are superheroes without putting their feelings into consideration.”
