“What did you think of the reunion?” Cohen asked on WWHL.
“I have never seen such a ruthless denunciation of two human beings in my life,” Schwartz responded. “Ariana had a fire in her, I mean she eviscerated those two, and I’ve never seen anything like that. I didn’t know she had it in her. I’ve never seen anything like that in my entire life.”
He also said that Sandoval took more heat than Leviss. “Raquel took some blows, but yeah, Tom got just eviscerated.”

Even though the entire Vanderpump Rules fandom is staunchly Team Ariana, Tom Schwartz refuses to “abandon” his best friend.
“Tom, I know the whole world hates you, but I’m not gonna abandon you, old buddy. I’m not gonna abandon you,” he said on WWHL (per People). “He knows he’s a monster for what he did.”

Although Tom Schwartz is rooting for his business partner, he doesn’t think Tom Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel Leviss will last.
“I’ve actually thought about this a lot. I think it’ll be a miracle if they make it,” he told Andy Cohen (per Us Weekly). “Their relationship is, you know, I know they care so much about each other but, like, even in the short time that they’ve been ‘in love’ or whatever you want to call it, it’s become toxic. And I just, I don’t know if it’s sustainable. It’s already toxic as it is, and then you add in, you know, the entire nation thinking you guys are scumbags. I think it’s too much, but we’ll see if love prevails.”
