The Vanderpump Rules cast are no strangers to controversy. The staff at Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant SUR debuted on Bravo in 2013 as part of the spinoff Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The season 1 cast included Vanderpump, Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute and Scheana Shay. […]
While discussing the Scandoval fallout, Sandoval told the outlet, “I feel like I have more hate than Danny Masterson. And he's a convicted rapist.
Masterson, who rose to fame as an original cast member on That '70s Show, is currently serving his 30-year prison sentence after being convicted of two counts of rape.
In an episode of Vanderpump Rules, which aired in March 2024, Schwartz tried to convince Sandoval that the negative public attention would soon end. Sandoval, however, was not as convinced.
“Dude no. It's not even precise. I’m treated like I’m fucking King Scott Peterson,” he said. “And it’s going to linger with me like f–king Scott Peterson.”
