‘Pathetic’ Tom Sandoval roasted by brutal Special Forces staff as he sobs about Rachel Leviss affair
Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval breaks down in tears over his affair with co-star Raquel Leviss when Special Forces grill him on reality show.
It looks like Scandoval is taking the stage on US quasi-military series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, which tests celebrities in a host of demanding training and interrogation exercises.
After remaining fairly quiet throughout the first few episodes of the show, which is similar to SAS Australia, Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval breaks down in tears over his affair with co-star Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
In a preview clip posted to the network’s YouTube channel and as reported by Decider, Sandoval — who filmed the Fox survival show just a few months after his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix learned of his affair — is called in for questioning by the Special Forces Directing Staff (DS).
“There are a lot of thoughts going through my mind. I’ve had a hell of a past, like, three months,” he sobs.
“I had an affair with another woman. She’s also on the show. It just was the perfect storm. My publicist had never seen anything like it.”
He continues, “A f***ing reality star having an affair on CNN? It’s so stupid. It became this Team Ariana thing. They sold $200,000 in merch in, like, two weeks. Seeing people I’ve been friends with for well over a decade just turn on me, it was just so exhausting.”

Like many Vanderpump Rules fans who watched the explosive Season 10 reunion, ex-Special Forces operatives Billy Billingham and Jason Fox don’t fall for Sandoval’s crocodile tears.
“Trying to play the victim makes it look pathetic. You are not a victim. You created this,” Billingham says, while Fox adds, “The first thing you should be doing is owning it.”
In another clip from the upcoming episode, Sandoval opens up about becoming the world’s punching bag upon the news that he had been cheating on Madix — his now ex-girlfriend of nine years — with their mutual friend and co-star.
“It was a pretty juicy f***ing scandal. If you opened up Instagram, you would’ve seen me [and] Ariana every day,” he tells the other remaining recruits, before later adding, “People were messaging me paragraphs of vicious — just so visceral, like, hatred. I’m a f***ing stupid reality star. Like, come on, man.”
Sandoval also points out the shift in how fans have started greeting him since Scandoval broke.
“Before this whole scandal, I would meet people who have probably seen me on Vanderpump Rules and they would be like, ‘Oh, my gosh. He’s so cool.’ And then now, people think I’m a complete narcissist, creeper vibes,” he tells cameras.
“I’m definitely not here to run away. I want to punish myself. I think I deserve it.”
