Tom Sandoval appreciates what he has
In an interview withAccess Hollywood, Tom was asked if viewers would see a new version of himself this season and whether he has a different perspective on life after “Scandoval.”
“It’s not a ‘New Tom,’ like I’m not a different person in the sense, but it’s like, people don’t change I feel like, I think their priorities change,” Tom explained.
“I mean, prioritizing loyalty, love, friendship, you know, appreciating the things that you have, not taking things for granted. Also, prioritizing like, self-help, self-love in a sense of like not drinking, working out, meditating, you know, mental health, therapy.”
Some Vanderpump Rules cast members still don’t think Tom was genuinely sorry for cheating on Ariana, causing the relationships in the group to shift during Season 11.
Based on theVanderpump Rules Season 11 trailer, it looks like Tom Schwartz is on good terms with his best friend and business partner after distancing himself for awhile.
Scheana Shay has also been open to hearing Tom Sandoval’s side of the story since they were friends long before the show started.
