‘Pump Rules’ Fans Are Doubting Sandoval’s Shady Lyrics About Schwartz

Tom Schwartz served as inspiration for Tom Sandoval‘s cover band for months – but things get extra dark between the Vanderpump Rules costarians?

One of Sandoval’s recent performances with his band, The Most Extras, quickly got fans talking about the message behind the music as an eagle-eyed follower. reposted several stories from the TomTom co-founder’s Instagram story on Sunday, June 18, in which he wrote, “I’ve never heard this lyric before.”

In the video – featuring footage of Sandoval performing at Engelmann Cellars in California – the reality star sang about 40-year-old Schwartz.

“Schwartzy, remember when you had a lawn? A homeowner’s lawn. Your mom came out wearing only a TomTom hoodie and thong. TomTom hoodie and thong,” Sandoval, also 40, sang during his rendition of “Stacy’s Mom.”

When his band began their tour earlier this year, Sandoval surprised attendees by changing the lyrics during several shows, joking about interest in Schwartz’s mom by changing the words from “Stacy’s mom” to “Schwartz’s mom.”

The Missouri native also poked fun at his cheating scandal Rachel Leviss in his aforementioned cover of the song Fountains of Wayne. “Schwartz’s mom is on to it. She’s all I want, and I’ve been waiting so long. Schwartzy can’t you see that Raquel is horny for me,” Sandoval seemed to sing as the crowd cheered at a May performance in New York.

Sandoval’s personal life originally made headlines in March when news broke that he had broken up Ariana Madix due to an affair with Leviss, 28. Schwartz, for his part, joined the former beauty pageant queen in August 2022 amid his divorce from Katie Maloney.

Schwartz, who co-owns two restaurants with Sandoval, faced backlash after publicly supporting his best friend.

“First of all, Ariana, love you. I know you don’t love me now, but I still love you. And also, Tom, I know the whole world hates you. But I’m not going to abandon you, old friend. I’m not going to let you down,” he said in Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in April. “He knows he’s a monster for what he did. If you see him, give him a hug. Even if he doesn’t deserve it, give him a hug. He’s in bad shape.’

However, earlier this month, the Minnesota native admitted his stance had changed after watching Sandoval handle the drama.

“He made a big mess of it. And then you know, he left it for us to clean up the businesses. And it’s hard for me not to be mad at him,” Schwartz shared Jack Taylor And Brittany Cartwright on their “Reality Hits” podcast. “I’m taking a break from Tom now. I haven’t seen him in a while.”

According to Schwartz, he felt “exploited” by his friend in the wake of Scandoval. “It seems he has no remorse, or it seems he just doesn’t care and he’s living his rockstar dreams and being good to him,” he added, referring to Sandoval’s current music tour. “I think that’s one thing I’ve learned from all the people in the restaurant. They just don’t understand, like the lack of regret. I know he regrets it. But he doesn’t show that very well.”

The Bravo star concluded by confirming that he is no longer aware of what’s going on in Sandoval’s personal life, saying, “I have no idea and it can’t make me happier, I don’t want to know any secrets.”
