Lala Kent believes that Tom Sandoval’s best friend and business partner, Tom Schwartz, knew about his affair with Raquel. She is upset he did nothing about it and let him hurt Ariana, Sandoval’s ex.

Kent Speaks To Media

“I don’t like weakness. At times, you must be a good person”, she informed TMZ when questioned about the affair.

Schwartz Should Have Come Clean

Kent is sure that Schwartz knew throughout and believes he should have actively participated in the drama. Instead, he chose to stay quiet to protect his business partner, which does not sit right with Lala. 

Lala Breaks Her Silence 

"[He should have] rolled up on Ariana, or said [to Sandoval] 'You tell Ariana, or I will," Kent told the website. She claims Schwartz should have done right by Ariana and informed her beforehand about the situation.

The star also shared that she will not be surprised if Sandoval and Leviss are entirely together. There is no point in not being together anymore if the truth is out in the open.

Scandoval

Scandoval is the name given to the entire cheating scandal, and Lala Kent isn’t the only cast mate to believe that Schwartz knew all along. Lisa Vanderpump, the show's matriarch, also thinks that Schwartz knew the truth.

"Enough is enough. He's just burying his head in the sand and thinks that things will just go away and things will happen," Doute, 40, said on last week's episode of Dear Media's "Scheananigans" podcast.

Everyone Is Upset About Schwartz’s Lack Of Interest

Doute added, "It's like he can be honest with us in real time and texting, 'I don't stand for this' or 'I feel this way, but he doesn't do anything about it."

Sandoval Defends Best Friend

Tom Sandoval, 40, broke his silence on the matter a couple of days after the news broke and claimed that Schwartz was unaware of his affair. He apologized on his Instagram and asked angry fans to leave Schwartz alone.

Apologetic Instagram Post

‘I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave Schwartz, my friends, and family out of this situation…’. Later on, he also posted an apology to Ariana Madix for hurting her.

Schwartz Did Not Condone The Cheating

Sandoval claimed that Schwartz discovered the truth recently and was not supportive. He was unhappy that his best friend was cheating on his girlfriend like this.

Angry fans rushed to give horrible reviews on Yelp of Sandoval's bars and restaurants. One of his bars is in partnership with Schwartz named Schwartz and Sandys.

Apologizes To Protect Business

"There are three other partners and 20 employees, who rely on the restaurant for income for them and their families, " Sandoval wrote. "Like [first bar] TomTom, I'm a small part of a much bigger thing.

Requests Fans To Leave His Peers Alone

"Please direct ur anger towards me and not them. They did nothing wrong."

Finally Apologises To Madix

What stunned fans the most was that he did not apologize to his girlfriend of nearly a decade, Ariana Madix, in his initial statement. Sandoval apologized to her days later in another Instagram post.

 

The Apology

"I made mistakes, I was selfish, and I made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love," he wrote on Instagram. "No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly. I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us."

How Did Madix Find Out?

Ariana, 37, discovered the affair when she found sexually explicit videos of Leviss on Sandoval's phone. She is entirely heartbroken and feels betrayed.
