On Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump RulesSandoval’s friends continued to criticize him so much for his affair with Rachel Levis in the midst of your relationship with Ariana Madix and his reaction to the scandal once it became public. The treatment led Sandoval to make a shocking comparison.
It all started when Scheana Shay tried to get Sandoval to put his ego aside and take responsibility for his actions. Sandoval was so angry that james kennedy I had to intervene to tell him, “You’re going to burn all the bridges around you, bro!”
Sandoval was unmoved, shouting, “I’m not going to humiliate myself in front of these sons of bitches anymore, man. Shit!”
Later, despite not thinking he caused Katie Maloney It is Tom SchwartzWith the marriage falling apart, Sandoval decided to apologize to Katie. She wasn’t convinced, though, even responding “no” when Sandoval asked for some freebies.
When Sandoval left to pout, he admired a photo of himself and Rachel, who blocked him and didn’t respond to his desire to get back together. It’s the same photo he appeared in Special Forces: the hardest test in the worlda fellow history competitor Nick Viall previously revealed.
“I lost almost all of my friends and now, losing Rachel is very emotional for me,” Sandoval told the cameras. “There’s a part of me that thought that when she gets out, maybe we can both be in a healthy place to see each other again and connect, but I’m finding out that’s never going to happen. heart.”
Schwartz was present as Sandoval sobbed in his closet as he starred in the photo and lamented his lot in life.
“Sorry, man,” Sandoval told Schwartz. “I just look at these photos and think, ‘That’s never going to happen again.’”
Schwartz tried to comfort his friend by assuring him that he was “at the end” of the drama, but Sandoval disagreed.
“That’s not even remotely accurate,” Sandoval insisted. ‘I’m being treated like I’m fucking Scott Peterson and that’s going to stick with me as fucking Scott Peterson.’
“You’re not Scott Peterson,” Schwartz assured him. “Didn’t he murder his wife?”
“Allegedly,” Sandoval responded of the killer, who was convicted of murdering his wife and unborn child in 2004.
This isn’t the first questionable comparison Sandoval has made regarding his situation. Last month, Sandoval made headlines for complaining during an interview with The New York Times that the Scandoval mania was similar to the news coverage surrounding OJ Simpson, George Floyd and Danny Masterson.
The former football player was at the center of a highly publicized murder trial after being suspected of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. He was acquitted of all criminal charges but was later held responsible for both deaths in a 1997 civil suit.
George Floyd was a Black man whose murder by a white Minneapolis police officer in May 2020 sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and led to the conviction of Derek Chauvin, the officer who knelt on his neck for nearly 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, the This is a 70s show former student was convicted of rape in 2023 and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.
Sandoval later apologized for the comments, telling ET in a statement: “My intentions behind the comments I made in New York Times Magazine should explain the level of national media attention my case received. The comparison was inappropriate and ignorant. I am incredibly sorry and ashamed.”
