Infidelity is bad for business, and Tom Sandoval’s cover band, “Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras,” is feeling the effects. With only hours left before showtime, the band had to offer a 2-for-1 ticket deal at their upcoming gig in Long Island, N.Y. to fill the auditorium.
The cause of the backlash is Sandoval’s affair with co-star Raquel Leviss. It was outed at one of his performances in early March when then-girlfriend Ariana Madix found NSFW texts and videos from Leviss on his phone. Madix later confronted both Leviss and Sandoval about the affair, which made headlines less than 48 hours later.
At one of his concerts in Los Angeles, many Bravo fans made their feelings known. Some people started yelling out “Ariana” while other gig-goers were heard chanting, “Cheater!” The animosity has only heightened as new details about their months-long dalliance air on the ongoing season of “Vanderpump Rules.”
During the Season 10 finale trailer, which was released earlier this week, Madix could be seen ripping into Sandoval about his relationship with Leviss. Leviss seemed to be approaching the scandal with a more lax attitude, saying “It turned out so horribly wrong” with a chuckle.
Infidelity has caused a huge hit to Sandoval’s business and it doesn’t seem like it will be getting any better anytime soon.
