Tom Sandoval is still chipping away at paying back his parents.
The former Vanderpump Rules star told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that he’s still “in the process.”
“I’m in the process of working on that,” Tom said during the March 3 episode.
“Just so you know, as much as Schwartz and I were investors, they were actually investors.”
In Case You Missed It: Tom Sandoval’s mother and stepfather invested $250,000 into Schwartz & Sandy’s.
As we know, once news of Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss rocked the Bravosphere, the fate of the restaurant and lounge was essentially sealed.
Fans boycotted Tom and Tom’s venture — which already played a role in Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney’s divorce — and flooded the business with negative online reviews.
Schwartz & Sandy’s closed its doors on December 21, 2024, after operating for roughly two years.
During the WWHL appearance, Sandoval reiterated that the money from his mom wasn’t technically a “loan,” but an investment.
“They had a percentage in the company,” he explained.
It’s also worth noting that since leaving Vanderpump Rules, Sandoval has appeared on both The Traitors US and House of Villains…
