Tom Sandoval of Vanderpump Rules recently issued an apology after facing backlash for making controversial comments in a New York Times profile. The Bravo star was subjected to scrutiny after drawing comparisons between the impact of his affair with co-star Rachel Leviss, famously dubbed "Scandoval," to well-known cases involving George Floyd and O.J. Simpson. Sandoval acknowledged that his comparison was inappropriate and ignorant, expressing regret for his words. He took to social media to address the situation, stating, "My intentions behind the comments I made in the New York Times Magazine were to explain the level of national media attention my affair received. I'm incredibly sorry and embarrassed." This apology comes after Sandoval was name-dropped on Saturday Night Live during the "Weekend Update" segment, shedding more light on the controversy surrounding the reality TV star's past actions.
