I read that he did clear it with Bravo before he went on Howie's podcast...but that doesn't mean that is correct info lol.
I have a feeling that Howie knew more than he professed. He is friends with Sandoval. There is no way he wouldn't know about what was going on. Also his daughter, who is an avid fan of the show, knew everything. She told her dad that part of what made it a big deal...was that Ariana and Raquel were good friends. That didn't change Howies opinion. Howie said he doesn't understand the hoopla, people cheat all the time, Tom wasn't married etc...and his daughter told him that now people are going to be pissed at him. She knew.
Anyway, they need a after the reunion reunion show. Half of the info they "revealed" on the reunion was not even true. Swartz knew that Raquel and Sandoval slept together since at least August. He said January. All kinds of info is coming out.
I'm happy if they fire Sandoval. Yey.Two birds with one stone. No reason for Raquel to be on show if there is no Sandoval. Not much reason for Swartz to be either. He was just a tag-a-long anyway.

Oh...loved on last episode...when Raquel said (in reference to making out with Swartz) that she feels that it wasn't a big deal. There are so many other things she could be (is) doing that would be worse....SMH

Jax and Brittany Cartwright have a three-episode special on Peacock, Watch With, which premiers on Thursday, April 13. They will be providing commentary on new episodes of Pump Rules until April 27

Trust me, I'm not on Sandoval's side by any stretch of the imagination but don't they all give interviews and go on podcasts? All of the "tea" blogs are nothing but recaps of interviews and podcasts. The reunion has already been filmed. I don't get why Bravo was so "blindsided."

Probably because the "big" episodes haven't yet aired. Bravo doesn't want Tom giving away any secrets before they do.
Here's my article about the Howie/Sandoval interview. I came away with the impression that Howie is even more of an idiot than I thought he was:
https://www.realitytea.com/2023/04/14/vanderpump-rules-fans-blast-howie-mandel-for-seeming-to-justify-tom-sandovals-behavior/
Also just read that Raquel has checked herself into a mental health clinic. Don't blame her. She must be overwhelmed. Working on that one now.

Babyjax....I really do think Howie totally knew the story and was there to support Sandoval. I haven't seen anyone else discuss this...and I don't want to listen to 1 1/2 hours of crap again. But did you catch the comment by Howie...well, you know how Sandoval revealed circumstances surrounding how the first kiss with Raquel came about. Sandoval said they were at his house and their faces were just like magnets and they kissed etc. But at one point when Howie was summarizing the kiss and referring back to it...Howie said something like, and you were at the door saying goodbye....and you kissed. Sandoval never gave out that piece of info. That, plus the fact Howie said Sandoval and him are friends and Howie had just attended Sandoval's concert, were (to me) clear indicators that not only had the two of them discussed the whole thing before that podcast, but also that Howie was playing dumb. Not that that is a far stretch lol
I am betting this latest move by Raquel is still a ploy by her PR team to garner sympathy. According to Raquel she was already in therapy. Per her co stars, she showed no remorse or seemed in any way repentant for anything that happened.
We keep reading about people's reflections...or hindsight...about things they saw that were weird. Like Katie just said that at BravoCon she assumed Raquel was after Swartz. That she was following him around like a puppy dog:
“She went to the Tom and Tom panel and sat in the front row,” Maloney continued. “I thought it was about him because I thought she was after him" However, Schwartz cryptically said, “She wasn’t there for me. Trust me.'”
There is a video of Sandoval grabbing Raquels butt as he stands next to Ariana. Or photos of Raquel at many of Sandoval's gigs. Or when the two (I think by Lala?) were caught in a bed with the covers over them at a party. It was like Sandoval and Raquel were enjoying doing things right in front of everyone and getting away with it. They got some sick twisted gratification from the whole affair. It was a big game
Accordingly to Lala and Andy Cohen, there is a conversation between Raquel and Ariana in the final episode, where Raquel looks Ariana straight in the eyes and...lies or says something to Ariana which both Lala and Andy said made them sick. Andy says he confronts Raquel in the reunion about that comment, whatever it was, but I can imagine.
I just don't have any empathy for either Sandoval or Raquel. I think they both are turning out to be pretty sad humans.

Once again, we are in agreement, Since. I think Raquel is very immature and selfish -- just like Sandoval! She also seems to lack any empathy for others, suggesting she's either a narcissist or a sociopath. I would NEVER in a million years go after my BFF's significant other. First of all, it just seems so incestuous and icky. But if I love my friend, I would never want to hurt them that way. It makes me so sad how Ariana tried to be a good friend to Raquel, but Raquel just basically spit in her face. I doubt Raquel will be back next year.
And here's my story about Raquel going to the mental health facility: https://www.realitytea.com/2023/04/14/vanderpump-rules-raquel-leviss-checks-into-mental-health-facility-amid-scandoval-drama/

I liked the 1st episode of Jax and Brittany, Watch With. They had the exact same reactions as my husband and I had.

Today's headline:
"Tom Sandoval Heads to Coachella After Raquel Leviss Checks Herself Into Mental Health Treatment Facility"
Interesting

I keep forgetting to watch Jax and Brittany. I like those shows that rewatch an episode and show cast reactions (Below Deck is a favorite). So fun when they agree with you and make funny comments.

I finally watch Jax and Brittany. It was fun hearing them talk about all their friends, especially since they were there at the wedding.

I also went and watched their own podcast too. Everyone has a podcast these days lol
I'm telling you...every day some new tidbit comes out. Ariana at Coachella with personal trainer. Tom also there...with someone but no names yet. Raquel not really in mental health facility but in a resort. Tom also went to a resort to "get away" by himself (it crossed my mind if they had both met up at same resort). Then ex VPR cast member Billie Lee spends night at Sandoval's. Ariana blocks her on her social media. They could make a whole spin off off of just Scandoval.

The previews of James emptying the contents of his glass in Schwartz face, seems a bit aggressive…until you remember Schwartz throwing his drink in Stassi's face (at her birthday celebration) calling her the B‐word or pouring his drink over Katie's head and using same words.
Schwartz and Sandoval have been protected under the Lisa Vanderpump sparkly veil of invisibility from their immature actions…for years now. Ever since the two had a LV bar named after them, Lisa has worked tireless to scub their reputations clean. Present them as professional business partners-ish. Their only admitted worth was schmoozing the customers and pulling in the young crowd.
Now the magic illusion is wearing off and their respective lackluster and pathetic personalities are shining through. You see a little of that on the last episode. I'm so done with the both of them (and Raquel). Next please. Get rid of all three. Even Jax grew up.
Those two need to move in together and live their frat boy lives in their 40s and 50s. Wow, sad image. Sandoval and Schwartz can then continue their juvenile existence, have "sleepovers", party til the sun comes up, drink themselves into oblivion, get mani-pedis, wear coordinating outfits, and speak in "word salad". Raquel can even hang with them. Oh, and Sandoval can take over Katie's "job" of trimming Schwartz's armpit hair.

I feel bad for Sandoval's mom. She gave all her retirement money to Sandoval to open up the bar.
I can only imagine what she was thinking when Sandoval was telling the camera that he couldn't work on opening the bar because he needed to get his nails done.

Me too. Sandoval brought Raquel to his moms home sometime in December...his family refused to meet Raquel. Wanted nothing to do with the whole thing.
Then weeks later, Sandoval and Raquel returned (I think he had a gig) to his hometown. They were at a bar, that got closed down because there was a storm. The pair ended up taking refuse at Sandoval's moms house and stayed the night. She is not going to turn her son away in the middle of the night in a storm. He dragged his poor mom in to the whole mess. But then, he is so considerate of others feelings

That jives with what I heard...except the "Raquel was not introduced as his girlfriend" part...does not make sense. Why would Sandovals mom refuse to meet her if she were just a friend...and why would they sleep in the same room?
I would not take kindly to my husband sleeping in the same bed with my girlfriend at his moms house. It would already upset me that my girlfriend went with my husband on tour and attended his gig without my knowledge. Lol

Yup, that would definitely set me off, too. I think they were sneaking and Ariana just didn't know about a lot of things. Sleazy.

It's just unbelievable isn't it? Every new bit that comes out....I'm just flabbergasted at the brazenness of their actions. They both are such incredible liars. Who could ever trust either one of them again? Just blatantly lying to everyone's face. And neither seem to have demonstrated any regret or shame for their actions. Other than the statements posted on their social media...which were clearly written by whatever PR clean up team that represents them.

So, they asked Sandoval last night if there is anything going on between him and Raquel. He could barely contain himself while lying.
My question is, if they asked him, they must have suspected something, so did they ask Raquel the same question. And if no, why not?

I've been watching "Brittany and Jax Watch Vanderpump Rules" on Peacock. It's fun to see their take on events as they unfold onscreen, plus they were also at Scheana and Brock's wedding. Jax definitely caught the barely contained grin when production asked him if there was anything going on between him and Raquel. What a slimy creep! And that pornstache is just gross.

I watched yesterday's VPR on Peacock this afternoon. In the previews for next week, there was a woman at the very end I didn't recognize. I thought it was somebody's mom. I just realized it was KRISTIN!!! Omg, she looks old and puffy.

What the heck...they only gave us 3 episodes of Watch With Jax and Brittany! I was so looking forward to seeing (what was supposed to be) the 4th episode of Watch With...only to find out they were only doing 3. I thought for sure they would finish out the season, including the reunion. Disappointed.
Babyjax I watched WWHL after the episode, with Kritin and Annaleigh Ashford (whom I love). At first, I had a similar reaction. WHO is that? But after I adjusted...she didn't look too bad. She had extentions and certainly put some weight on. Before she was actually too skinny. But I'm sure she got decked out for the show. I didn't even notice her in the previews...so maybe she was unrecognizable on VP lol
As many have said...you just can't write this s*@t! I watch with my jaw open...pretty much through every episode now. I would love to know how LVP can have the two Toms as her partners and employees? That includes Raquel. I'm sure they all are just waiting for it to "blow over". But I don't see that happening anytime soon...especially if they come back next season. I am hoping that doesn't happen.

I read yesterday that Lisa is closing SUR. Lisa claims it's because the lease is up and the landlord jacked the rent up way to high. The landlord put out a statement that that is lie and that he even forgave rent during covid. For some reason, I believe the landlord.
