He’s lowering the bar again.
Tom Sandoval shut down his Instagram account shortly after ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix filed a lawsuit alleging that his access to Raquel Revis’s explicit videos caused the breakdown of their relationship, but his shut down account didn’t stop the Bravosphere from attacking him through other online avenues.
Sandoval’s Instagram account was down since early Wednesday morning, preventing “Vanderpump Rules” fans from responding to the shocking lawsuit through his personal page.
Instead, internet users flocked to the official Instagram account of Schwartz & Sandy’s, the Los Angeles bar he co-owns with co-star Tom Schwartz.
“Tom Sandoval suing Ariana?! Are you kidding me? Fire that motherfucker right now. He’s disgusting. I will never spend a dollar at your store if that motherfucker has money.” [sic]” one angry person commented on Barr’s latest post.
“Imagine a life of poverty. [co-owner Greg Morris] “I’m just trying to run a bar and Tom Sandoval is actively lowering the bar in so many ways, including suing his ex-girlfriend after she found out he was cheating on me,” a second person wrote.
“They’re not selling the house and are suing Ariana. Schwartz get your homies back to their senses before they drag you all down,” a third user wrote, referring to the home Sandoval and Maddix lived in before and during their cheating scandal.
“Team Ariana [sic] “Forever. This is a new low, even for you. Get rid of Tom’s. Get rid of Tom Toms. Get rid of Schwartz and Sandy’s,” a Maddix supporter suggested, referring to another bar, Schwartz and Sandoval, in West Hollywood, California.
“Leave her alone,” another person pleaded, referring to the “Chicago” actress. “I told you I would. She’s had enough.”
“Sandoval wants so badly to be Ariana he’s turned into a little boy and is threatening her with his own poor choices. TOM, wherever you are, have the day you deserve,” another wrote in capital letters.
Others made vulgar insults, calling Sandoval “disgusting,” “a total jerk” and a “clown.”
In the lawsuit, Sandoval, 42, described Maddix, 39, as “[ing] He accessed explicit footage of Revis, 29, on his mobile phone “without his permission or approval.” As reported by Us Weekly: Tuesday.
According to court documents, the cover band frontman claimed Maddix made “copies” of the footage and “distributed” them to “Reavis and third parties.”
The incident occurred on March 1, 2023, when Madix found NSFW FaceTime recordings on Sandoval’s phone and learned of his months-long affair with co-star Revis.
Madix quickly ended their nine-year relationship over the high-profile misconduct of Sandoval, who fans dubbed “Scandalbal.”
The drama played out across seasons 10 and 11 of the reality show, but Revis, 29, did not return for the latter series.
The former pageant queen previously sued Sandoval and Madix for revenge porn, wiretapping, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy, alleging that Sandoval filmed her without her consent.
Amid all the turmoil, Madix has rekindled her romance with boyfriend Daniel Wye, while Sandoval is dating model Victoria Lee Robinson.
