Vanderpump Rules is currently being recast for a season 12 reboot and it all comes down to the same type of scandals that made the show so popular. Having a hot cast of models and actors and actresses moonlighting as wait staff at a trendy Beverly Hills restaurant is entertaining to watch. And as time goes on, the fanbase is also going to grow. So it came as no surprise that 10 seasons in when the Tom Sandoval cheated on his girlfriend of nearly a decade, Ariana Madix with her best friend Raquel Leviss in what was dubbed Scandoval would send fans and the cast alike reeling. Now everyone is practically out of a job because the cast all pretty much stopped talking to each other because of it.

In a series of pictures shared on Instagram showing off his 11 years on the show, Tom captioned them, “Where do I begin… I’m overwhelmed with so many emotions right now… The unbelievable series of events that brought this group together still blows my mind to this day.” He added, “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.” Thanking Lisa Vanderpump and her husband, the network, fans and production, he continued, “As in life, so much has happened over the years. 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.”

This also comes as the restaurant he opened with Tom Schwartz named Schwartz & Sandy’s just closed for good after a 2 year run. And it’s unfortunate because his former bestie Jax Taylor has a sports bar, Jax’s Studio City that’s been going for the past year. If they remained closer, it might have done better. Some notes could have been shared. He’s also been cast on the new Bravo show The Valley which features a lot of the old Vanderpump Rules cast showing their lives transitioning from bottle service to baby bottles and buying homes and dealing with their new married lives. And while Sandoval wasn’t invited to the show because of the horribly toxic work environment he created for everyone because of his cheating, perhaps he’ll be invited for a guest spot a time or two as a friend and maybe he can rekindle things. Guess we’ll have to tune in to see if that happens!
