Tom Sandoval Apologizes After Comparing Scandoval to George Floyd’s Murder

Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval

Oops Tom Sandoval did it again! Get all the details on the Bravo star’s latest blunder!

Tom Sandoval is now apologizing after comparing Scandoval, his cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss, to other highly publicized moments in history including the murder of George Floyd and the OJ Simpson case.

While chatting with The New York Times about why he believes Scandoval got “so big” in the media, Tom Sandoval swiftly put his foot in his mouth while giving his take on it all.

The Vanderpump Rules OG said:

“I’m not a pop-culture historian really. But I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?”

Pump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss meet up after Scandoval is exposed.

Naturally, the Bravoverse was up in arms over Tom Sandoval’s comment, but it turns out fans were the only ones upset. Several Bravo stars spoke out about Tom’s comments, including Real Housewives of Miami star, Guerdy Abraira.

Guerdy lashed out at Sandoval on her Instagram, saying, “PLEASE reflect on this repulsive statement you made (regarding GEORGE FLOYD r.i.p) especially on black history month and take it back!! NOT OK! An immediate apology is in order Sir!”

She added, “The disrespect…and on black history month…WOW just plz.”

Tom Sandoval’s Vanderpump Rules co-star, Katie Maloney also spoke out and suggested that her ex-husband Tom Schwartz come get his boy and stop him from putting his foot in his mouth any further.

“The f–k?” Katie commented under an Instagram post of Sandoval’s quote, adding, “Hey Tom Schwartz you wanna come explain what he was really trying to say?”

Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard star Jordan Emanuel also chimed in, writing, “Comparing slinging dick to a Black man being murdered in front of our eyes during Black History Month is something I just don’t have words for.”

“My intentions behind the comments I made in New York Times Magazine were to explain the level of national media attention my affair received,” he wrote.

“The comparison was inappropriate and ignorant. I’m incredibly sorry and embarrassed.”

Is he really that ego-centric to think the limited media overage his affair with Rachel got was the equivalent to the media coverage of Floyd's murder or OJ's criminal trial? Amazing how self-important these d-list celebrities think they are.

And yet, somehow, we keep pushing the story along for more publicity. It's over. It's old. Find a new storyline now. I can't wait to see when Lala throws her line out about Ariana being treated like God all because of a breakup. So true and so hilarious!!

He really shouldn’t have apologized. The media circus around all three events was absurd, disproportionate, disturbing and distasteful. Yes, this dumbass had to open up a can of worms and unnecessarily so, and his ordeal of media scrutiny was not comparable to an actual fatal event, whether murder or otherwise, but he wasn’t saying it was. He was only stating that the media circus took on a life of its own and snowballed well beyond what he was prepared to navigate. It’s a completely valid point and people outraged by truth is not something that needs to be encouraged by obsequious apologies to those who, despite demands for them, have absolutely no intention of accepting them. That’s my opinion and it ain’t gonna change. Deal. https://media0.giphy.com/media/lKaCRaAFL6KQg/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
