Scheana, a former friend of Sandoval, expressed her disappointment in him for not responding or acknowledging her after she reached out to offer condolences for the death of his friend. She questioned his lack of empathy and suggested that if he had been honest and remorseful from the beginning, the outcome might have been different.
Sandoval defended himself, stating that everything he does is constantly scrutinized in a negative light. He expressed his desire to apologize to his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix, acknowledging that she has been surprisingly less vindictive towards him despite being the one he cheated on. He recognized that Ariana had every right to come after him, but appreciated her approach of not relishing in his downfall.
While Scheana agreed that Sandoval should apologize and show remorse, she also pointed out how his actions, such as discussing the affair on her podcast, went too far. She suggested that he needed to humble himself and refrain from referencing their friends, Tom Schwartz and Raquel, in his band's songs. She criticized his behavior as narcissistic.
Sandoval, however, disagreed with Scheana's assessment of his actions and encouraged her to look up the definition of narcissism. As their conversation continued, it became evident that the loss of their friendship had deeply affected Sandoval, as he expressed his sadness and the void he felt without Scheana's friendship.
Throughout the episode, Sandoval also discussed the 'mob mentality' he felt from his former friends, referring to their relentless actions towards him. He felt they were unnecessarily harsh in their judgment of him.
The episode showcased the ongoing fallout from Sandoval's affair and the strained relationships within the Vanderpump Rules cast. Though Sandoval seemed eager to make amends and move forward, it remained to be seen if forgiveness and reconciliation were possible.
As Vanderpump Rules continues to unfold, it seems that the drama and tension among the cast members are far from over. The consequences of past actions continue to reverberate, making it difficult for friendships to heal and trust to be regained.
As fans of the show, we can only wait and see how these personal conflicts and confrontations will unfold as the season progresses. Will Sandoval be able to make amends and repair his broken relationships? Only time will tell.
