'Vanderpump Rules' star Tom Sandoval spills tea, says 'Stop obsessing over me,' on blocking Scheana Shay and her family
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Vanderpump Rules' star Tom Sandoval found himself increasingly irritated as people delved into every aspect of his life following the revelation of his cheating scandal. In an after-show episode, Tom discusses the decision to block Scheana Shay and her family after feeling insulted. He recounts Scheana interviewing his gardener's nephew to dissect "How a narcissist sleeps."
Shortly thereafter, Tom claims to receive a text message from Scheana offering support, "Let me know if you need anything at all. We are here for you Tom." In response, he curtly snaps, "Yeah, I need you to back the f*** off." He asked Scheana, "Stop obsessing over me." Feeling "insulted" by Scheana's characterization of him and Rachel Leviss "dumbf****," Tom confronts her about the comment. Scheana defends her actions, explaining that she discussed Tom because he was the focal point of widespread conversations.
Tom emphatically states, "I don't block people ever really, but when I do I just hit block account and any accounts associated with it." This strategy was employed to distance himself from individuals trolling him. In a decisive move, Tom blocked Scheana's husband, Brock Davis, her sister, Summer Moon, and even Scheana's podcast.
