Tom Sandoval Cheated on Ariana Madix Many Times, Says Jax Taylor

Vanderpump Rules cast members and Bravolebrities Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix have been at the epicenter of celebrity drama lately, based on cheating allegations between Sandoval and Raquel Leviss. New details from old cast members are now popping up in what many are calling “Scandoval,” revealing that the restaurateur may be a serial cheater — and his affair on Madix with Leviss wasn’t the first, according to a recap from TooFab. In fact, he may have cheated “many times.”

Sandoval made a public statement on Instagram about his infidelity back in early March, noting that his business partner, Tom Schwartz, “specifically only found out about this very recently, and most definitely did not condone my actions.”

However, former cast mates Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor revealed on an episode of Watch What Happens Live that they regularly keep in touch with Schwartz since their departure from the show back in 2020. Taylor claims the co-owner of TomTom restaurant definitely knew Sandoval cheated on long-time girlfriend Madix — and not just with Leviss.

“I was there for the first week during the Miami situation,” Jax explained to show host Andy Cohen. “I was there the week they started dating when this happened,” implying that Sandoval may have cheated on Madix many times.

According to Jax, he distinctly remembers a time when Sandoval may have hooked up with someone while on a trip to Miami.

“I was there. I was in the room next to them,” he revealed, recounting the incident that allegedly occurred when Sandoval had just started dating Madix.

Cartwright also mentioned how the recent scandal has made her rethink previous events, which didn’t seem like a big deal at first, but feel like “Easter eggs” now.

“There were times whenever we went to certain events when they came together and I was like, ‘This is kind of odd,’” she explained during the segment.

She chalked it up to Sandoval’s ability to make fast-friendships, adding how she figured he and Leviss were “just close friends” whenever she saw them together.

Taylor revealed how he wasn’t surprised his former cast mate got caught however, as he recounted a specific incident between Sandoval and Leviss that sticks out in his mind.

“Last time we saw them was at our friends’ house in Orange County and they were both together,” he elaborated. When a distressed Madix called Sandoval about the passing of her grandmother, he wasn’t quick to run back to comfort her.

“He didn’t leave,” Taylor continued. “He used the fact that he couldn’t get an Uber.” The former reality TV star wasn’t buying the excuse, adding that people were coming and going from the party all day long.

These new details have not been confirmed by Sandoval or any of his reps, however. A Page Six source has also stated that “Taylor and Sandoval have not discussed any of the latter’s relationships and have not even seen each other in a year.”

As far as his feelings towards Madix, Taylor left off with some divisive speculation: “I think Ariana is a very strong, independent woman… It’s come to the point where he can’t control her. He can control Raquel, she’s easily manipulated and she’s very codependent, so he can do that. He can’t do that with Ariana, so I think he’s kind of moving that way.”
