Kristen Doute had a lot to say about Scandoval on the latest episode of her podcast.
As Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss reportedly plan a future after the reveal of their alleged months-long affair, the Vanderpump Rules alum, who is said to be in talks to return to the show, revealed what Ariana Madix found on Sandoval’s phone, confirmed he’s been “blaming” Ariana for their breakup, and shared what really happened between Raquel and Scheana Shay in New York City.
“I was actually with Ariana and Tom that night,” Kristen revealed on the March 8 episode of Sex, Love and What Else Matters, via Us Weekly. “During Tom’s performance, his phone fell out of his pocket or something and somebody — a mutual friend — picks up the phone, hands it to Ariana. … Ariana had his phone and she told me that she just had this gut intuition to look at it.”
After looking through the content, Ariana reportedly discovered a sexual video of Raquel on FaceTime.
“He had screen recorded a FaceTime of him and Raquel masturbating with each other,” Kristen disclosed.
But despite that, Sandoval turned the tables on Ariana when he returned home, “gaslighting” and “blaming” her for the split, saying, “You know we haven’t been happy,” and accusing her of not being “supportive” of his “endeavors.”
Unsurprisingly, the shocking betrayal has left Ariana feeling “blindsided” and “numb.”
“She’s not doing well. She’s numb and she’s sad and she doesn’t want to hear about anything anymore,” Kristen said. “We were telling her some more rumors that were coming up yesterday and she’s like, ‘What does it matter? I just don’t need to know anymore it’s just going to make me feel worse.’”
While the rest of the world learned of Sandoval and Raquel’s reported betrayal last Friday, Kristen said Tom Schwartz has known for about “a month” and actually encouraged him to come clean before the scandal “blew up in his face and humiliated the hell out of [Ariana].”
As Pump Rules fans well know, Schwartz himself was linked to Raquel last summer. But now, following the shocking news, their fling is being considered a decoy.
“Come to find out, allegedly — this is allegedly from one of Raquel’s good friends — it was Tom Sandoval making out with Raquel at Coachella,” Kristen shared.
As for Raquel, who Kristen said is saying that she and Sandoval are “in love,” Kristen said her claims of an assault by Scheana are false.
“Scheana’s like, ‘Who are you on the phone with? What is going on?’ And too casually, [Raquel] says, ‘I’m talking to Ariana. Sandoval and I had a 7-month affair,’” Kristen recalled of their NYC spat. “You’re telling this to Ariana’s best friend. So she threw Raquel’s phone in the gutter.”
Kristen then said that when Sandoval returned home after the scandal, he knew “everyone hates” him.
“In my opinion, [their friendships with the Pump Rules cast are] very much over. Right now the only person Sandoval has is Schwartz, and Schwartz isn’t happy about this, either. This is pouring down on their businesses,” she explained.
In other news, Sandoval and Schwartz are expected to miss out on filming Winter House season three, which begins this weekend, after Pump Rules was forced back into production as a result of Sandoval and Raquel’s reported affair.
“Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz were anticipated to film for season 3 of Winter House, but will now miss filming due to the Vanderpump Rules saga. The Winter House cast is heading to Colorado this weekend, but now that cameras are back up for VPR, the Tom’s will be filming for that,” a source explained to Entertainment Tonight on March 8.
“There is a possibility the duo could go to Colorado later, and come in near the end of the Winter House season. Producers are now reaching out to some of the previous Winter House cast to see if they can join, and asking part-time people to now be full-time,” the source continued.
Although the Toms’ involvement is currently “in flux,” the insider noted that “nothing’s been confirmed either way.”
In addition to telling all about Scandoval on her podcast on Wednesday, Kristen clapped back at Lisa Vanderpump on her Instagram Story after learning she dissed her on Watch What Happens Live.
“Word on the street is that tonight’s [WWHL] guest sh-t on me, again…?” Kristen asked in her post.
“Dear Guest, Why are you so obsessed with me? xoxo Kristen,” she added.
As fans may have seen, Lisa was asked if the recent drama of the show led her to change her mind about Kristen on the March 8 episode of WWHL.
“Let me think about that for a moment, no,” Lisa replied.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
