The Scandoval clues are becoming more apparent as Vanderpump Rules' 10th season continues to play out. On the Bravo series' April 12 episode, Ariana Madix got annoyed with then-boyfriend Tom...
Ariana DeBose is ready for her encore. A year after hosting the 75th Annual Tony Awards, the West Side Story actress will be returning to the New York City stage as host of the 2023 Tonys. "I was...Varied recollections? Tom Sandoval got to have his say. He was invited to the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast this week. If he thought he would redeem himself, he failed miserably. There was no remorse for his actions. Worse, there were undertones of validation. Raquel Leviss adopted a similar stance at the reunion.
One example was the break-up timeline between himself and Ariana Madix. Page Six reported that Sandoval claimed he dumped her two weeks before she found out he was sleeping with Raquel. Valentine’s Day 2023 to be specific.
“I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier, and I told her, I said, ‘Listen, we don’t have to post anything on social media, like, let’s talk through this,’” Sandoval explained. According to the TomTom co-owner, he and Ariana wanted to keep their breakup a secret until they could “figure out a way to navigate this that helps us both out and makes it easier.” Yet, Ariana was in “denial.”
Does Sandoval really think this admission will win sympathy from his Vanderpump Rules co-stars and fans? It just goes to show how tone-deaf he is. Not literally– his mid-life crisis includes being the frontman for Sandoval & The Most Extras. He continued digging himself into a deeper hole.
“A couple days later, I sit down to talk with her again, and she’s like, ‘I’m not letting you leave me, you’re gonna have to force me out of this relationship,’ and I was like, ‘Ariana, I don’t think I can be faithful in a relationship with you right now,’” Sandoval added.
During these conversations, Sandoval failed to mention to Ariana that he had been cheating with Raquel since the summer. So Tom Schwartz’s advice failed to make an impact on his Schwartz & Sandy’s business partner.
Sandoval stated, “She’s like, ‘If you break up with me, you will be effectively ending my life.’ I didn’t know what to do. She was in complete denial and not accepting it.”

The duo kept up the facade during a weekend getaway to Miami. Sandoval and Ariana attended a food and wine festival with friends. According to Sandoval, Ariana “didn’t talk to me the entire time.”
Sandoval was surprised, therefore, when Ariana came to the infamous concert at TomTom on March 1, 2023. According to Sandoval, the Something About Her co-founder made a show of hooking up with him in front of the crowd. He explained, “We’ve never been PDA unless it’s for a photo or for press or whatever, [but] she, like, in front of all these fans, she grabs me and knows that I’m not gonna push her away in front of people, and she kisses me.”
That night, Ariana found a sexually explicit video of Raquel on her ex-boyfriend’s phone. Sandoval explained what went down. “My phone falls out of the pocket, she sees it and, obviously, was the most upset and angry I’ve ever seen her, but I think she went through the phone just to see if anything happened with somebody in Miami,” Sandoval said. “But we were broken up, she knew we were broken up.”
For her part, Ariana claimed to be “blindsided” by the whole affair. Ariana’s rep didn’t return Page Six’s request for comment. The interview also included Sandoval’s recollection of his first kiss with Raquel.

At long last, Season 13 of Real Housewives of New Jersey left the Garden State for some much-needed change of pace. As Teresa Giudice’s wedding to Luis Ruelas drew closer, the ladies were ready to celebrate Tre’s last hurrah in Ireland and leave the drama down at the shore. Obviously, we all know what show we’re watching and how well we can expect an international vacation full of Real Housewives stars to go. But hey, at least it was a little something different to watch Tre and Melissa Gorga have the same old fight in a historic Irish castle.
The RHONJ Ireland trip kicked off during this episode and it wasn’t all rainbows and pots of gold. The ladies might have been struggling with what clothes to pack for rural pub crawls, but they did make sure to bring plenty of drama. In fact, I’m shocked Jennifer Aydin even managed to pack a wardrobe at all considering all of the messy receipts she stuffed in her suitcase. Here are five of the main takeaways from the latest RHONJ episode “The Italian Invasion.”
Dolores Catania was inspired to bring her RHONJ co-stars to Ireland thanks to her whirlwind romance with Paul Connell. While Paul and Dolo’s first trip to Ireland was like a romantic comedy, Tre’s bachelorette extravaganza is bound to be more likes The Hangover. Paul’s advice for his lover was to make the ladies drink out of plastic cups to avoid any major disasters. Oh, and maybe they should avoid drinking coffee altogether after the disastrous coffee cup reading.
It’s never easy to plan a trip for high-maintenance Real Housewives but Dolo was especially nervous about bringing the girls to sleepy Ireland. It wasn’t the usual locale for these types of girls’ trips. Her fears were warranted as we saw Tre attempt to stuff her suitcase with flowy beach dresses and bathing suits, only to be horrified when Luis told her to bring rain boots. Dolo booked a 400-year-old castle for the ladies to stay in, which MelGo immediately believed was haunted. Dolores just wanted her friends to be calm and remember that they weren’t in New Jersey anymore. But it’s impossible to hide the Jersey side of a woman like Teresa Giudice, regardless of how hard Dolo wanted to try.
Once the ladies made it to Ireland, it didn’t take long for Margaret Josephs to call out Jennifer Aydin for the phony coffee reading. Jennifer admitted to telling the psychic she and Marge had past problems (after Tre threw her buddy under the bus in front of the group). However, Jennifer wouldn’t fess up to telling the psychic about Marge’s old friend Laura who was talking smack to Tre and Jennifer. The Laura word was a trigger to Marge and newbie Danielle Cabral made it her mission to figure out why.
Danielle went to the person most likely to squeal (Jennifer) to get the full story about Marge’s old friend. After protesting, Jennifer sang like a bird. She said that someone who worked for Marge saw MelGo in the backseat of a car with another guy and they were making out. Danielle immediately regretted prying for the information because she put herself dead in the middle of the Tre and Melissa chaos. Girl, you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. Now that Jennifer finally brought up the Gorga cheating rumors on screen, we know it’s all going to be downhill from here. It’s no shocker that Miss Messy Aydin and Tre 2.0 were the catalysts for some family-ruining gossip.
Jennifer Fessler is the latest Friend Of RHONJ who I haven’t spoken about much since the season kicked off. It’s not because she’s a flop. She’s just more of a supporting character. Now that we’ve gotten to know Jen Fessler a bit better, I can confidently see she’s exactly the kind of friend Jersey needed. Fessler is the new RHONJ funny girl. She’s always the first one to grab a plate to eat at an event, so she’s a woman after my own heart. In the latest episode alone, Fessler admitted to sleeping with James Gandolfini AKA Tony Soprano in her younger years to the shock and awe of a bus full of Italian-American Jersey girls. Icon behavior.
Fessler also wasn’t afraid to hold her friends accountable. Margaret may have brought her into the group, but that didn’t stop Fessler from calling out her friend for the way she and Jennifer Aydin act in public together. The newbie also wrote a hilarious limerick about Rachel Fuda’s bad nose job that showed Merriam-Webster Jackie Goldschneider that she’s not the only one good with her words in this group. Fessler might not be as explosive of a newbie as Danielle, but she is providing a nice new dynamic to the age-old group.
The first day in Ireland was the kick-off to Tre’s atypical bachelorette party. The RHONJ ladies were used to attending bachelorette trips to Long Island or the Jersey Shore that were filled with strippers, clubs, and bad hotel rooms. Dolores‘ international trip to an Irish castle was quite a sophisticated step up. Half of the RHONJ squad admitted to never having a bachelorette party of their own, like Dolores, so this was a much-needed outing for them all.
The ladies got ready for Night One which was a pub crawl. The entire group wore green while Tre wore a bright white dress complete with a tutu and silver shoes. She claimed it wasn’t even her fancy outfit, even though Tre had the time of her life twirling around in her dress at every second. Jennifer and Danielle made sure all of the ladies were equipped with cheesy sashes and plenty of shots. The episode proved that this messy duo is exactly the kind of hype squad that you would want at your bachelorette party. Honestly, when they aren’t calling people rats, Jennifer and Danielle could have a successful business as bachelorette party hype hosts.
Melissa went into the Ireland trip excited to go on vacation, but not in celebration of Tre and Luis‘ wedding. The Gorgas and Tre did not even speak after their explosive fight down at the Shore. All is well in Ireland until Fessler asked Tre why she decided to make Dolores and Jennifer Aydin bridesmaids in her wedding. The topic obviously went onto the guest list and the fact that Melissa’s mom wasn’t on it. Jennifer Aydin, who thought she was trying to help the situation, made it worse by saying that Melissa was an “obligation” to invite to the wedding. “Why don’t you just sit there and shut up,” Marge said in shocked response to Jennifer’s not-so-subtle dig.
Thankfully, Tre was feeling namaste and called off Jennfier so that she could talk to her sister-in-law by herself. Melissa kept biting her tongue while Tre proclaimed she was the “coolest f–king sister” who “never” throws Joe under the bus. MelGo was trying her best not to ruin Tre’s bachelorette dinner event, but it’s obvious she’s done done done. MelGo was so checked out from all things Tre’s wedding at this point and she had no idea about Jennifer Aydin’s little cheating bomb. Maybe we’ve finally arrived at the good stuff of RHONJ Season 13 and boy am I ready for it.

I know some Below Deck fans are very disappointed Captain Lee Rosbach has been put on pause by Bravo. Lee will always be the Stud of the Sea, but the Stud needs some TLC right now.
After sustaining a painful injury that affected his ability to perform on charter, Lee left Season 10 of BD to recover. He returned, determined to finish the job he started, but it was problematic. Bravo executives made the decision to keep Lee under contract, but have him sit out Season 11. This will hopefully provide ample time to heal from any lingering issues and possibly return.
In the interim Lee isn’t going to be sitting around, doing nothing. He spoke with The Sun Sentinel and shared what he’ll be up to while he steps away from the cameras.
If you miss Lee more than usual, he does make appearances. He did a one-man show at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and posted the details on Instagram. Guests enjoyed cocktails and listened to Lee’s tales about his life and career. Not for nothing, that was probably a pretty good time.
Captain Lee is also considering a follow-up book to his 2018 memoir, Running Against the Tide: True Tales from the Stud of the Sea. His son Joshua Rosbach died from a drug overdose in 2019. The new book would likely deal with the sensitive subject matter.
Lee said, “Nothing hits home like when you walk in and you find your son dead. That’s the image that I have in my head, in my mind, when I go to sleep every night. That’s the image. That’s the first thing I wake up to every morning.” Joshua battled an addiction to pain meds after he sustained a broken leg and feet in an accident.
He added, “I went to Washington to speak in front of Congress [in 2021]. Every congressman there had a relative, a friend of a relative, someone close to them, that had passed away from fentanyl. And I kept going, ‘Then why the f— are you sitting on your a——?’” While Lee feels Joshua’s story will be difficult to relive for the purpose of writing, the content could be helpful to others.
“I’m trying to develop the inner coping skills so that now — this is just within the last six months or so — I can think of Josh and the fun times that he had, and the fun things that he did, and get a smile on my face,” Lee admitted.
With that, much respect to Captain Lee. Hopefully, he finds some relief from his physical pain. And we hope he can reach the point where waking up with a smile becomes his new normal.
