Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval’s close friend and business partner, has spoken out about his past relationship scandal with Raquel Lewis.
“[Sandoval’s] ok i guess. In comparison, it has a deep sense of melancholy, which is a part of **. And to some extent it may be,” Schwartz said TMZ.
“But he knows that **, and it’s all very sad.”
Schwartz continued, “Luckily, Ariana has a really good support system and she’s with her friends. I believe he is living a good life, just out of spite. I believe he will live. I hope it all goes away.”
He added that he was “worried about Ariana” but acknowledged that she had “a lot of friends and family who love her.”
In addition, Schwartz said he had not spoken to Leviss since the story broke, adding that it was “really sad.”
He also spoke to Levis and denied saving Sandoval from the incident.
“No, that’s not true. Unless I was a pawn in the game,” he said.
And Schwartz, when asked if he had any prior knowledge of the incident, responded: “You’ll see it play out on the show.”
“It’s **complicated. It’s the downside of the year. I think Tom is fine,” he added, “I’m really sad about the negative impact it’s having on our business, but I think cooler heads will prevail and I’ll just keep going.”
Sandoval and Schwartz are co-owners of two Los Angeles businesses: Schwartz & Sandy’s and TomTom, which opened in 2022 and 2018, respectively.
