How exes Tom and Ariana navigate home sharing

To take up space. Scheana Shay said Ariana Madix is doing well after figuring out how to avoid Tom Sandoval while sharing a home.

“She’s doing great. Obviously it’s been very difficult. You know, she misses her partner — the person she thought he was,” the ‘Scheanigans’ host said on Friday, April 7, episode of the Dear Media podcast, “And they still share a house together. So she can’t move on as long as he’s in and out of her house.”

Sandoval, 40, cheated on Madix, 37, with a fellow Vanderpump Rules cast member Raquel Leviss. Once Madix learned of the affair in early March, she and Sandoval ended their nine-year relationship. However, the exes still share the 5-bedroom home they bought in 2019 for $2.075 million.

Shay revealed that the frontman of Tom Sandoval and Most Extras contacted a mediator before entering the house. “He has now agreed to communicate with a third party, letting his assistant or one of his best friends know when he should come into the house, or if he should stay in the guest room, if he must come and get money. stuff or whatever,” the “Good as Gold” singer explained.

She added that it was an improvement over the way Sandoval behaved immediately after the breakup.

“He’s trying to be more respectful to her, I think,” Shay said. “But at first it was like, ‘This is my house! I’m paying half the mortgage, I’m going to come and go as I please,’” Shay recalled. “And it’s just like, ‘Bro , you just blew up his world. The least you can do is give it some space. It’s called a hotel!”

She further explained that he couldn’t stay with a business partner. Tom Schwartz “because Jo [Wenberg] is there.”

Schwartz, 40, recently revealed he knew in late August 2022 that Sandoval and Leviss, 28, had a “one-night stand.” In January, Sandoval confessed to Schwartz that he was “in love” with the former beauty pageant contestant, Schwartz revealed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Thursday, April 6.

Shay, for her part, feels betrayed by Leviss, Sandoval and Schwartz. “I’ve never experienced anything like this level of betrayal,” she said on her podcast.

“They were all three at my wedding! What am I going to do with these photos? ” she asked. She jokingly added, “I should just put Lala’s face on Raquel in the bridesmaids pics.”

Sandoval and Leviss both issued an apology to Madix last month following the publication of their affair. However, the case wasn’t the only point of contention between Leviss and Shay. The California native filed a temporary restraining order against the singer after an alleged fight on March 2.

Leviss alleged in court papers that Shay punched her – resulting in alleged bruising on her face – after learning of Leviss’ affair with Sandoval.

However, Shay claimed she only pushed Leviss because she was so stunned by the revelation of the affair.

“There are barkers and biters in this group. And that night, I was a biter. I had no words because nothing was coming to him,” Shay said during a March episode of the “Scheananigans” podcast. “When she touched me, I was so enraged. I was just like, ‘Let go of me! Get out of my space. I just needed her to be away from me at that moment.

After the Pump Rules season 10 reunion taped on March 23 — which required Leviss and Shay to film separately to respect the legal order — Leviss released a statement revealing that she intended to drop the restraining order.
