The Vanderpump Rules reunion has come and gone. Despite the fighting and the accusations, Tom Sandoval says the cast is still friends and knows how “ridiculous” they behave. Although he does call out some of these so-called close friendships as being more like allies than true friendships.
Clearing the air about some of what went down at the reunion, Tom’s animosity towards Kristen Doute came from something he recently learned. Tom explains, “Two weeks prior to shooting the reunion, I found out that Kristen had slept with my best friend and former band mate while we were together.” Kristen “of course” denied this.

“It of course makes me look like I’m keeping on and keeping on,” Tom acknowledges. “I’ve gotten a lot of flack about the whole Kristen thing.” Tom doesn’t feel that “flack” is fair.
About the possibly of Tom having a so-called emotional affair with Ariana Madix, he says it’s “completely impossible” since everyone works so close together. I dunno – a whole lotta cheating goes on in that place.
Tom also calls out Kristen, Stassi Schroeder, Katie Maloney, and Scheana Marie (aka The Witches Of West Hollywood) for coming to the reunion an allied force. “They met the day before and hung out so obviously they had some sort of alliance or agreement or whatever,” Tom told E! News. “Anytime anything was said about any one of them, you had to talk to at least two of them. In that entire time, not a single time did Stassi, Scheana, Katie, or Kristen have a single disagreement with each other.”
Tom calls BS on their sudden bestie-bestie relationships, and complains, “Things need to be called out and addressed and I felt like at times that I was the only one who did it.” Well he is the unofficial No. 1 Guy In The Group (according to him and possibly Ariana). I do think the group was focusing a lot of blame on James or Lala, or Tom and Ariana, when it is clear they’re all guilty of really icky behaviors. It did seem as if the ladies had an ‘agreement’ to deny, deflect, and defend each other.
Despite all the arguing and nonsense, for the most part, everyone gets along and doesn’t take it too seriously. “You got to laugh at how funny and ridiculous we are,” says Tom.
After the reunion, Tom and Ariana hung out with Lala and James, then headed over to PUMP to party with Tom 2, Katie, Kristen, and her boyfriend Carter, plus Lisa. Kristen recently admitted to E! News that she agrees it’s inappropriate for her to be friends with Tom 1, although she hopes they can remain cordial. Is that maturity I sense? Is 30+ suddenly starting to act and think 30+. Well that would be the end of Vanderpump Rules then – unless they start majorly recasting!
