Jax Taylor Rips Tom Sandoval on Vanderpump Rules Return (I)

Sandoval was also confronted by Scheana Shay during the cast's first group outing with Ariana Madix, as well as Katie Maloney inside the house he shares with his ex.

In late Tuesday, Sandoval had some pretty uncomfortable exchanges with Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney and returning former teammate Jax Taylor, the latter of whom had the most heated of the three conversations.

Taylor's appearance came at the end of the episode, perfectly timed with the premiere of its spinoff show, The Valley, which aired afterward — as the guys all met up for a boys' night out. From the start, Jax was rather condescending, talking about his new bar and saying that he didn't need advice on how to escape Sandoval and Tom Schwartz.

“He always felt a kind of competition with me. And it’s just too bad because we were best friends,” Sandoval remarked in a confessional. “But I think over time I’ve realized that nothing brings Jax more joy than celebrating other people’s failures and misery.”

Taylor then spoke about Sandoval's appearance, saying he looks much better now than in a recent photo from a few weeks ago where Tom looked "50 years old." He also hated Sandoval's white nail polish, before Tom said it seemed like Jax couldn't shut up about anything Scandoval-related on his podcast.

“I know what you did was wrong, but what I did was wrong too. The only problem I had with this whole situation was just the way you handled it,” said Jax, who has had his own infidelity issues in the past. “Sometimes it’s okay to tuck your tail between your legs and say to yourself, ‘I’ve been fucked.’ It’s a humiliating experience.”
