Kristen Doute Confronts Tom Sandoval Post-Scandoval: Explosive Details & Reactions
The Vanderpump Rules drama never ends, and Kristen Doute is back in the spotlight, calling out Tom Sandoval following the infamous “Scandoval” cheating scandal. The former VPR star, who had her own tumultuous history with Sandoval, didn’t hold back in her recent confrontation—fueling even more tension in the Bravo universe.
Kristen Doute’s History with Tom Sandoval
Long before Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss (now Rachel) made headlines, Kristen Doute was at the center of his romantic controversies. The two dated for years before their explosive breakup, which involved cheating allegations and on-screen confrontations.
Now, years later, Doute is weighing in on Sandoval’s latest betrayal of Ariana Madix—a situation eerily similar to her own past with him.
The Confrontation: What Did Kristen Say?
In a recent interview on Watch What Happens Live, Kristen didn’t mince words:
“History repeats itself, and Tom hasn’t changed. The way he treated me is the same way he’s treating Ariana—gaslighting, manipulation, and zero accountability.”
She also took to her podcast, Sex, Love, and What Else Matters, to dissect Sandoval’s behavior post-scandal:
“He’s still playing the victim, just like he did with me. The only difference now is that the whole world sees it.”
Fans were quick to react, with many praising Kristen for speaking out:
“Kristen was right all along! Tom’s pattern is clear.” – @BravoFanatic (Twitter)
“The way Kristen handled this with maturity compared to years ago is growth.” – @RealityTVInsider (Instagram)

Despite the backlash, Sandoval is attempting a comeback—launching a new band, filming VPR Season 11, and even making podcast appearances. But with Kristen and former castmates like Stassi Schroeder (who also criticized him) refusing to let the past go, his redemption arc seems shaky.
