Tom Sandoval claims he was not body-shaming Ariana Madix when he poked fun at her for wearing a T-shirt during sex at the Vanderpump Rules reunion.
While out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Sandoval clarified his statement about their sex life while also denying Tom Schwartz is done with their friendship and claiming he has “no idea” when Raquel Leviss will leave treatment.
“I don’t have any comment about [Raquel],” Sandoval began during an interview with TMZ on June 14.
But when asked when he expected her to leave the undisclosed facility, where she’s been seeking treatment for her mental health since filming the Pump Rules reunion, Sandoval said he had “no idea” when she is getting out.
“I just don’t want to comment on anything with her. I’ll let her tell her own story when she’s ready,” he added.
As for Schwartz claiming he’s “permanently done,” which he did on FOX’s Stars on Mars, Sandoval clarified that his business partner is done with “Scandoval” — not him.
“It’s been corrected like five times cuz people just hear what they wanna hear. He said he’s indefinitely over talking about ‘Scandoval,’ not Sandoval. ‘Scandoval,’” he stated. “This will probably be like the fifth or sixth time that’s cleared up.”
When Sandoval was then asked about his infamous T-shirt comment, he said it came about due to his frustrations with Ariana’s lack of excitement in the bedroom.
“I’ve never body-shamed Ariana, ever. I don’t know if that was taken out of context. I think people are adding their own context to it,” he noted. “It had nothing to do with her body or anything. It had to do with somebody being very unenthusiastic. Like, if somebody like, wanted to have sex with me and I just like, just unzipped my zipper and said, ‘Hurry up. I gotta meet someone for lunch’ … It was more about the enthusiasm.”
Although the dig was certainly hurtful, Ariana’s laughing all the way to the bank over the comment after putting it on a T-shirt she’s now selling for $34.99 on the official website of her and Katie Maloney‘s sandwich shop, Something About Her.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 is expected to go into production sometime later this month.
