Following the actor’s high profile cheating scandal on the Bravo reality TV series Vanderpump Rules, Tom Sandoval rocketed to fame as one of America’s most hated villains. The Onion sat down with the embattled celebrity to discuss what’s next for him, his career, and his extremely tumultuous love life.
The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Tom Sandoval
The Onion: “Have you spoken with [ex-partner] Ariana [Madix] at all in recent months?”
Sandoval: “Not directly. When we need to discuss issues with the house, we just leave each other notes written in blood on the walls.”
The Onion: “When will your band tour again?”
Sandoval: “When we have another affair to promote.”
The Onion: “Which of Ariana Madix’s new projects are you most jealous of?”
Sandoval: “Going out in public.”
The Onion: “Do you regret comparing yourself to George Floyd?”
Sandoval: “Yes, because I see myself as more of a Breonna Taylor.”
The Onion: “Is it true you have a foolproof plan for bringing peace to the Middle East?”
Sandoval: “I thought we were here to talk about my infidelity.”
The Onion: “What’s your stance on the EU-Mercosur trade agreement?”
Sandoval: “While it promotes competition, it unfairly favors big agribusiness and the European auto industry at the expense of small enterprise and family farmers.”
The Onion: “Be honest, was ‘Scandoval’ scripted?”
Sandoval: “It’s insulting that people doubt my integrity and think I wouldn’t willingly cheat on my girlfriend of nine years.”
The Onion: “Is it true that you’ve never apologized to Ariana?”
Sandoval: “No, I have absolutely offered to have makeup sex with her multiple times since we separated.”
The Onion: “Would you agree with the sentiment that no press is bad press?”
Sandoval: “Definitely! I think I’ll cheat again!”
The Onion: “Do you feel guilty for cheating?”
Sandoval: “I had that part of my brain removed as soon as I was cast on Vanderpump Rules.”
The Onion: “Where is your publicist?”
Sandoval: “I handed them a check for $3 million and they immediately sprinted away.”
The Onion: “What does the word ‘Scandoval’ mean to you?”
Sandoval: “It is a combination of my name and the word ‘candle.’”
The Onion: “At this point, hasn’t everybody on the show hooked up with each other?”
Sandoval: “No, I was actually a virgin until this latest season.”
The Onion: “If you could go back in time, what would you have done differently?
Sandoval: “I would have put more effort into my brooding stare for last season’s promo photos.”
The Onion: “Was it worth it?
Sandoval: “Oh yeah. I fucking love sex.”
The Onion: “What’s next for Tom Sandoval?”
Sandoval: “I’ll let you know once I see which women they add to the cast next season.”
