The final main player from Vanderpump Rules, Tom ‘Sandy’ Sandoval bid farewell to his time on the show after an eleven year run.”
“Where do I begin? I’m overwhelmed with so many emotions right now.” Sandoval continued, “The unbelievable series of events that brought this group together still blows my mind to this day.”
How it started:
“From a random meeting with Jax while modeling in Miami, to responding to a Craigslist ad for another Tom looking for a roommate. Who would’ve thought that a stop along the way while chasing our dreams would turn into the cultural phenomenon that is Vanderpump Rules?”
VPR’s affect:
“We were unaware as to the effect this show would have on our lives. The foundation of Vanderpump Rules was built on pure honest raw emotions… triumphs, struggles, and love that happen between a group of real friends and our relationships. As soon as we started filming shit got real and never turned back. It’s been a roller coaster ride and you’ve been with us though every step of the way.”
Time for thanks:
“To NBC/Universal, Bravo, Evolution, Lisa, Ken, show runners, field producers & members of the crew who busted their asses with us in the trenches, my fellow cast mates & friends.”
“Most importantly, to each and every fan, THANK YOU ALL for believing us and being part of this 12 year journey. It’s hard to put into words what I’m feeling right now. As in life, so much has happened over the years.”
The Scandoval of it all:
“Some of my past decisions led to incredibly challenging times, from which I’ve learned valuable lessons and experienced personal growth. Despite the difficulties, I’m filled with gratitude for the learning experience and forever grateful for all of the memories. 🩵 Until we meet again, Sandy.”
