After the first elimination on Stars on Mars, 11 celebrity astronauts, known as "celebronauts," were left on the Mars simulation. But Stars on Mars episode 2 took some time to focus on some Earth-bound problems. The reality show must have been filmed in the midst of possibly the biggest Bravo event ever, as one of the contestants, Vanderpump Rules star Tom Schwartz, opened up about the cheating scandal involving his best friend, Tom Sandoval, an event that’s been dubbed "Scandoval."
Schwartz was hanging out with fellow celebronaut, Natasha Leggero, in the kitchen when she brought up Sandoval. "He had like a tour de affair. It's horrible and it's like I feel complicit cause I didn't cover for him, but I had his back," Schwartz told Leggero. "He came to me, confided in me that he was in love with someone else." He continued explaining the situation in his confessional. "My friend had an affair that just happened to sweep the nation and it's incredibly messed up, but the thing is, I've become mired in it. It's been a huge source of just angst in my life. I've been in, like, this extended funk."
