Tom Sandoval cheated on Ms. "I was born cool" Ariana Madix! It has been all over every news source since the scandal broke on April 3, 2023. If you haven't read or seen anything about it, you are probably a boomer, but if not, you know people have taken sides.
The final part of the reunion special aired and one thing is for sure, Tom Sandoval's cheating absolved everyone's past infidelities and drama. If you have been watching PumpRules from the beginning, like me, then you know that NO ONE IS INNOCENT. Let's take a trip down memory lane, for those who forgot that every single person has cheated, lied, etc. and there is no "number 1 guy" or girl in this group!
In the early seasons, it was revealed that Scheana had an affair with Eddie Cibrian, who was married to Brandi Glanville. However, it ended up coming out that Eddie was also cheating on Scheana with Leann Rimes. In this same season, we get to know several other cast members, one being Jax Taylor, who is dating Stassi Schroder.
Jax Taylor cheated on Stassi multiple times and even had to pay a woman for an abortion. However, he is now on a podcast with his wife, Brittany, talking all sorts of trash about Sandoval. Now, I think it is a good time to say I in no way condone what Sandoval did. He truly is a horrible person, and so is Rachel, but every single one of these people talking trash has done the same in one way or another.
In the early seasons, Tom Sandoval was dating Kristin Doute and had admitted to cheating on her. Actually, Tom cheated on Kristin with Ariana, but he tried to deny it until he couldn't anymore. He admitted to "making out in a pool at the Golden Nugget" three years prior to the rumor coming out. Then, it came out later that Kristin also cheated on Tom multiple times during their relationship, and with JAX! Jax was with Stassi at the time he cheated on her with Kristin, so you can bet Stassi had a lot to say. Kristin also cheated on Tom with James, but we will discuss James in a bit.
So, let's see how many in this little group is just as bad as Tom: Scheana, Jax, and Kristin.
Let us continue.
In later seasons, it came out that Schwartz, too, cheated on Katie while they were together, but so did Katie. Again, IT IS NEVER OKAY TO CHEAT ON ANYONE. If you are going to cheat, just break up.
DJ James Kennedy is another person who, during the reunion, was so obnoxious and kept using his age as a way to say he did nothing wrong. As if your age matters in situations of cheating. James kept reiterating he was "25 years old", which is still old enough to understand the ramifications of cheating. James "Poo Poo Head" Kennedy and Lala slept together while he was with Rachel. Lala also dated Randall while he was still married, but she is going to deny that.
Are we seeing a pattern yet? We sure are!
So, Scheana, Jax, Stassi, Kristin, Katie, Schwartz, James, Lala, and even Ariana herself have all been guilty in some way or another! These are all the same people who are so quick to leave Tom high and dry and throw stones as if they are perfect! Again, what they did does not negate the fact that he cheated on a wonderful person who loved him, BUT they should all learn to forgive and move on.
