Vanderpump Rules: Tom Sandoval complains about being treated like convicted wife-killer Scott Peterson

Tom Sandoval said he felt like he was being treated like ‘f***ing Scott Peterson’ over his affair with Raquel Leviss on Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules on Bravo.

The 41-year-old reality star after crying about Rachel Leviss, 29, being out of his life disagreed with Tom Schwartz, 41, who said he felt as if Sandoval was at the ‘tail end’ of the fallout from his affair dubbed Scandoval.

‘Dude, no, that’s not even remotely accurate,’ Sandoval said.

‘I’m being treated like I’m f***ing Scott Peterson and it will f***ing linger with me like  f***ing Scot Peterson,’ added Sandoval, who also compared himself in a February magazine article to O.J. Simpson and George Floyd.

Peterson, 51, was convicted in November 2004 of murdering his pregnant wife Laci Peterson on December 24, 2002, and is serving a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

‘You’re not Scott Peterson,’ Schwartz said. ‘Didn’t he murder his wife?’

‘Allegedly,’ replied Sandoval about the infamous case that recently resurfaced as Peterson filed to reopen his trial.

‘You’re down bad,’ Schwartz said.

Sandoval broke down crying after saying that he really thought Rachel would have wanted to connect with him after she got out of the facility but she hadn’t.

‘It really, really breaks my heart,’ Sandoval said in a confessional.

When the season 11 episode titled Peaks and Valleys opened Sandoval was having a pool party at his house while Ariana Madix, 38, was upstairs in her room. Schwartz came over and asked Sandoval if the party was sanctioned by Ariana.

‘Yes, we had an agreement,’ Sandoval said.

Sandoval said he was trying to put himself back out there.

‘I’m so proud that Tom is putting himself out there but maybe don’t do it under the same roof of the girl that you cheated on,’ Schwartz said in a confessional.

One woman took her top off in the pool and Schwartz told Sandoval he was leaving because it felt weird.

‘It’s not like we are having a f***ing orgy in the living room,’ Sandoval said in a confessional.   

Sandoval got a text and the girls Kat and Michelle that he invited showed up. Sandoval asked them if they had been to Burning Man while they hung out in the pool with their drinks.

‘This would be a great year for me to go,’ Sandoval said. ‘I’m single. I do have a roommate, though. Told you guys about my roommate, right?’

One of the girls asked him who his roommate was.

‘It’s just my ex-girlfriend,’ Sandoval said. ‘Nothing serious. Just a 10-year relationship. I keep her locked in the room and I crush potato chips and put them under the door for her to eat. I’m just kidding.’

The next morning Ariana got up and saw that the house was a mess with towels on the floor and food left out. Sandoval’s assistant Ann told Ariana she would clean it up.

‘What exactly is Ann’s job description,’ Ariana said in a confessional. ‘She cleans up after him. She does his laundry….I love Ann but she has a really sH***y boss.’

Sandoval was upstairs on the treadmill.

‘One of Ann’s duties is to do some housekeeping,’ Sandoval said.

Scheana Shay, 38, came over and saw that the kitchen was a mess. Ariana asked Scheana how she was doing and heard she was upset with her. Scheana said she was upset that Ariana didn’t tell her that she got picked for Dancing With The Stars.

‘I should have just told you myself,’ Ariana said.

Scheana said in a confessional that talking to Ariana lately has been difficult and she didn’t feel she was receptive to her feelings. Scheana said she missed the friendship that they had before the affair news broke.

‘It’s hard to be like oh my best friend is telling me she misses that person,’ Ariana said.

Scheana asked Ariana how she would feel if years from now, after Sandoval did all this work, that she considered being his friend again.

‘I think Scheana is bringing this up because she 100 percent has plans to be friends with Tom Sandoval,’ Ariana said. ‘And I think she is trying to soften the blow when this becomes a reality.’

Schwartz went out with Jo for the day.

‘I could probably marry Jo and be happy,’ Schwartz said in a confessional. ‘But I don’t want that now. I do but I don’t.’

Sandoval and the group met up for drinks when Katie and Ariana showed up. Lala Kent was stunned.

‘I did not expect her to show up for this,’ Sandoval said.

‘It’s okay,’ Schwartz said.

‘I feel like Ariana is here to reclaim her friends from Tom and I am here for it because I would much rather look at Ariana than Tom Sandoval, ‘ Lala said to the camera.

‘I cannot let my ex prevent me from hanging with my friends for the rest of my life,’ Ariana said.

Ally told Katie that Jo texted her and wanted her to do her astrological chart. Ally said she would meet her for drinks but thought she was ‘quirky.’

‘That is such a generous statement,’ Katie said.

In a confessional, Katie said Jo just ‘moves in really sketchy ways’ after she moved in with Schwartz after their divorce.

Scheana spoke to Sandoval at the bar and said that she heard him say that Raquel abandoned him. Scheana urged Sandoval to apologize to Katie and have some self-awareness for him to move forward.

‘This is ridiculous,’ Sandoval said.

‘We’re going in circles when I was just trying to help,’ Scheana said walking off.

‘You’re going to burn every f***ing bridge around you, bro,’ James said to Sandoval. ‘Your life is crumbling and you’re letting it happen like this.’

‘I’m not groveling to these motherf***ers anymore, dude,’ Sandoval said. ‘I’m over this s*** I’m out.’

The next day Brock tried to encourage Scheana to consider hiring a nanny. Scheana said she tried to talk to Sandoval at the Belmont to try to change his behavior but he wouldn’t listen.

Ariana had people over at her house for game night while Sandoval worked out upstairs. Sandoval came downstairs and Katie was in the kitchen.

‘Katie I want to apologize to you for the way I acted last year during your divorce,’ Sandoval said. ‘I know that you were going through a lot and probably didn’t need any of that extra s***.’

Katie told him that apologies were just words and what he did was ‘fathomless.’ Katie said she walked away from a 12 year marriage and didn’t start ‘f***ing his friends.’

‘Give me a little bit of grace,’ Sandoval said.

‘No,’ Katie said.

Katie told him that Ariana wanted to tell the house. Sandoval said the ‘ball’s in her court.’

Ariana played Never Have I Ever with the group after Sandoval and Schwartz left. She asked ‘Never have I ever had a threesome with two dudes.’ Brock Davies drank but Scheana said it was more of an ‘orgy situation.’

‘When were you in an orgy?’ a producer asked Scheana.

‘It was with an A-list celebrity,’ Scheana said. ‘Once upon a time my body was a wonderland.’

Sandoval, James, Schwartz, and Brock went out for a guys night at Tom Tom. Brock asked Schwartz about Jo and if they were still hooking up.

‘Last summer we had a whirlwind kind of romance,’ Schwartz said. ‘It was amazing but …I don’t want to date anybody right now.’

Jax Taylor, 44, showed up and joined them. He told them he was opening a sports bar in Studio City. Jax told Sandoval that he knew what he did was wrong, but he also did things that were wrong.

‘The only problem I had with this whole situation is just the way you handled it,’ Jax said.

‘You have been relentlessly talking s*** about me,’ Sandoval said.

‘You are me seven years ago,’ Jax said. ‘My life is the best it’s ever been. I have a great wife and a great home. I got everything in the world that I could ever f***ing ask for.’

‘Good job,’ Sandoval said.

‘You are literally a disgrace,’ Jax said.

Jax apologized for coming out hot and told Sandoval that he actually just wanted the best for him. They both then hugged it out.

Vanderpump Rules will return next Tuesday on Bravo.
