Tom Sandoval says he 'deserves' the anger
Sandoval took to Instagram to vent his anger about his and Tom Schwartz's new Los Angeles bar, 'Schwartz & Sandy's.' After news that he was cheating on Ariana Madix spread like wildfire, angry fans declared they were "boycotting" their new bar. They also accused Schwatz of supporting Sandoval in his philandering.
To which, the reality TV star replied on Instagram on Saturday, March 4, “Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave [Tom] Schwartz my friends and family out of this situation…”
In the long post, he further added that Schwartz “found about this very recently” and “did not condone” his cheating. Talking about the three other partners and 20 employees who depend on the bar for bread and butter, he added, “Please direct ur anger towards me and not them. They did nothing wrong”.
He also added that he needs “some time” to “address everything else.”
How did Ariana Madix find out about the affair?
During Sandoval's performance in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 2, a high octane drama unfolded in which Madix, seated in the front row in the audience, learned of the affair. The couple kissed just moments before the news broke. Madix was there to support her former partner in the release of his new single 'Superstars.' "She had no idea any of this was happening behind her back," reports People.
Madix learned of Sandoval's affair behind her back when the phone buzzed with a message from Leviss, opening an intimate video of Leviss and Sandoval. When she checked the message history, she noted the inappropriate nature of the conversation.
Madix and Sandoval left the venue soon after the concert, and the heartbroken star deactivated her Instagram account. Sandoval's account, however, is still active.
