Sandoval's Heartbreaking Confessions: Unveiling the Truth About his Affair with Raquel Leviss and Team Ariana's Role on 'Special Forces'
Tom Sandoval's emotional breakdown on 'Special Forces' reveals the devastating aftermath of his affair with Raquel Leviss Join him as he confronts the consequences with his partner Ariana Madix, in this intense episode of the 'World's Toughest Test'
In the upcoming episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Tom Sandoval discusses the aftermath of Scandoval. The emotional 41-year-old opens up about his challenging past three months, fighting back tears in an exclusive clip shared by We.
The Special Forces Directing Staff (DS) inquired about the difficulties the Vanderpump Rules star was facing, to which he confessed to having had an affair. Additionally, Sandoval mentioned that Raquel Leviss, who also features on the show, was involved. He described the situation as a perfect storm, with his publicist being astonished by the fact that a reality star's affair made it onto CNN, considering it to be foolish.
Us confirmed in March that Sandoval had ended his nine-year relationship with his girlfriend, Ariana Madix, following his secret affair with Raquel, 28, which lasted for several months. Consequently, numerous Vanderpump Rules co-stars chose to distance themselves from Sandoval, showing their support for Ariana, 38.
During the preview of 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' on FOX, Tom Sandoval reflected on the phenomenon of 'Team Ariana' and its remarkable achievement of selling $200,000 worth of merchandise within a mere two weeks. However, what truly drained him was witnessing long-term friends of more than ten years suddenly betraying him.
Sandoval's DS instructors did not sympathize with his actions or show any pity for his tears. They believed it was "pathetic" to witness the TomTom owner trying to portray himself as a victim when he was not. Mark "Billy" Billingham straightforwardly stated that Sandoval should take responsibility for his actions.
Following the fallout from the Scandoval incident, Sandoval and Raquel have put their relationship on hold. Last month, Raquel went as far as blocking him from her Instagram page after he tried to send her a happy birthday message.
According to a reliable source, Raquel and Tom have not communicated for nearly three months. In June, Raquel sought treatment at a mental health facility and since then, there has been zero contact between them. Recognizing the importance of her well-being, Raquel made the difficult decision to completely remove Tom from her life and has ceased all communication with him.

Despite still living in the same house, Sandoval and Ariana are no longer on speaking terms. They solely communicate about house-related matters through a third-party intermediary. Ariana, who is currently dating Daniel Wai, expressed her relief about not having to worry about Sandoval entering her bedroom anymore. She stated during an appearance on costar Scheana Shay's "Scheananigans" podcast in August, "I sleep a lot better at night not caring about when he's walking through that door. One advantage of living in the same house is that I don't have to think about him coming into my bedroom because he simply won't. I always keep my door locked, just in case."
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 2 airs on Fox Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
