Former Vanderpump Rules stars Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live and discussed their former cast members, including Tom Sandoval's alleged infidelity towards Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss.
Jax claimed that he knew Schwartz was aware of the situation and that Sandoval had cheated before. They also addressed the strain in their friendship with Stassi Schroeder, Beau Clark, and Katie Maloney.
Cartwright and Taylor, who were removed from Vanderpump Rules in 2020, recently shared their opinions on their former cast members, including the current member known as "Scandoval."
Despite their departure from the show, they still had much to say about their former colleagues.
Despite no longer being a part of the series, Cartwright and Taylor maintain their relationships with their former coworkers and friends.
The show was originally centered around this group dynamic, and Jax revealed that he still communicates with Tom Schwartz daily.
During a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, Jax Taylor confidently claimed that he was aware that Tom Schwartz knew about Tom Sandoval's infidelity towards Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss.
Jax mentioned that Schwartz had informed him about it. However, he wasn't certain how long Schwartz had been aware of the situation.
Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz share a close friendship and professional partnership.
In Sandoval's initial apology, which mainly addressed the potential business consequences of the affair being exposed, he stated that Schwartz had only recently become aware of the situation. However, no specific timeline was provided regarding how long Schwartz remained unaware of the infidelity.
According to Jax, Schwartz had attempted to encourage Sandoval to confess to the affair, but this never came to fruition. Instead, Ariana Madix eventually discovered the truth on her own.
During his Watch What Happens Live appearance, Jax Taylor insinuated that he wasn't shocked to learn about Tom Sandoval's infidelity towards Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss.
Jax stated that this wasn't the first instance of Sandoval cheating, recalling a situation during the first week of his relationship with Ariana in Miami. "I was there the week they started dating when this happened," Jax told host Andy Cohen.
The reference made by Jax Taylor was in connection with an ongoing rumor that Tom Sandoval had potentially engaged in a hookup with a woman in Miami at the beginning of his relationship with Ariana Madix.
Jax confirmed that the rumor was true, as he had been present then. "I was there. I was in the room next to them," Jax asserted.
When questioned by Brittany Cartwright about his claim of multiple infidelities by Tom Sandoval, Jax Taylor stood firm, stating that it didn't matter whether it happened once or ten times - what mattered was that it had occurred.
Jax also revealed that the alleged infidelity had occurred "within the last couple of years," implying that it had transpired before anything began with Raquel Leviss.
Jax Taylor reiterated his recent comments about why he believed Tom Sandoval might have been drawn to Raquel Leviss and away from Ariana Madix. According to Jax, Ariana is a strong, independent woman who cannot be easily manipulated or controlled.
In contrast, Raquel is more codependent and susceptible to being influenced, making her a more pliable partner for Sandoval. Jax posited that this may have been a factor in Sandoval's decision to stray from Ariana and pursue a relationship with Raquel.
On the Aftershow, Brittany Cartwright and Jax turned their attention to their current relationship with former Pump Rules cast members Katie Maloney, Stassi Schroeder, and Beau Clark. They discussed the strain in their friendship, exacerbated when Brittany and Jax could not attend Stassi and Beau's wedding.
During the discussion, Jax and Brittany explained why they were absent from Beau and Stassi's wedding. However, Stassi was not satisfied with the way Jax handled the situation. She believed that Jax had reached out to Beau's best friend instead of communicating directly with them, which made her feel like they were talking negatively about the wedding behind her back.
