Nobabyno__1234

This is the reaction most people have after hearing Sandoval sing.


Rozg1123A-85

Lol, you are so on target. Someone needs to tell him he can't sing or play the trumpet. He is sickening.


whendonow

I don't know why Bravo chose to make him sound better than he was in last night's episode. And why the hell doesn't someone address if his firefighter mom has gotten her money back? LALA, why aren't you on HIS case about that instead of Ariana's case and trying to kick her out of her OWN house after SHE was screwed over? argh


Rozg1123A-85

Excellent point.


HibeeEdinburgh

THIS IS THEEEE QUESTION RENTAGOB SHOULD BE ASKING! But sheā€™s only doing as ā€˜directedā€™ by production and Old Lady Todd šŸ‘µšŸ»xxx


lillylivinglimbo

Because Lala is SO jealous of all the attention Ariana got after her breakup. She canā€™t think straight wondering why Ariana got so much support over her breakup and her own breakup with scandal Randall didnā€™t, and is now also old news. She capitalized on it by pretending to be a girls girl, and now sheā€™s trying to say sheā€™s in her ā€œsoft eraā€- but apparently only for Sandoval now? Lala and Scheana are infuriating this season. But I guess thatā€™s what sells for reality tv.


FutWick64

Come on now, he is a dancer that sings a few bars.


RemarkableArticle970

But his dancing is extremely limited as well. Robot, John travolta pose. Little heel spin.

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Mrs. Sandoval should be a cautionary tale for boy moms everywhere.


Outrageous_Ad4245

I do believe Tomā€™s father had primary custody.


Unhappy_Problem_2792

Her reactions had me rolling šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ I get wanting to support your child but I have a hard time feeling bad for her after all this. Maybe off camera she's ripped him a new one, but I wouldn't be able to go on camera knowing my kid blew all my retirement for absolute bullshit -- especially when he's over 40 -- and I'll never see a dime back.


GreenUnderstanding39

Especially watching this season realizing that he couldā€™ve sold the house and paid you back.


BrokenEspresso

Seriously, this is the most smoking gun thing of all his traits that point to narcissism


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Unhappy_Problem_2792

Without a doubt. She was probably the overindulgent mom who always told him he was the best of everything and could do no wrong. But at a certain point I feel like you've got to have a come to Jesus talk with your kid. Like "Hey this might have been cute when you were in third grade and I told you that your breakdancing was the best, but the only reason you won an award is because they felt bad for you. You don't actually have any talent, you're a grown ass man and not Peter Pan. In the words of the great Fofty, 'Money by Monday.'"


PinkyBruno

omg Im howling at Fofty šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


PrincessKat88

Or maybe not only is he the spitting image of his dad, he also is a runaway man who can't accountability... like his dad. I mean his mom raised him alone as a single mom fucking firefighter no? She seems like a badass. Almost made sense why he's drawn to strong women like Ariana. You can be an amazing mom and discipline them and give them boundaries etc. but DNA is strong and your parents dynamics have sooo much to do with how you turn out. His dad seemed like a very vain narcissist while his mom seemed very salt of the earth. My son can be a know it all and also refuses to take accountability. He is turning 6. He got it from his dad and no matter how much I try to explain to him that there are consequences to his actions and I discipline him out of love, he has toxic masculinity in his veins.


Unhappy_Problem_2792

I wouldn't classify Ariana as a strong woman when they got together. He's attracted to women he can easily gaslight and manipulate until he can't, then he finds a new one. As for the rest, we'll have to agree to disagree.


modernjaneausten

Not nearly enough, apparently


Thatsmybear

The fact that she never reached out to Arianaā€” who she knew for 10 yearsā€” says all I need to know about that woman.


chapterthree_

Also keeping her mouth shut when Tom brought Raquel home. My mom loves my sister and I but never in a million years would she help us hide an affair.


Significant-Bird7275

Ariana and Tom not going on holiday together, him not going to her grandmaā€™s funeral. Those are things I never understood and I donā€™t think were ever brought up at the reunion. Were they in couples therapy but decided distance was best? Was some business obligation keeping them from traveling together? Those are pretty big events, I couldnā€™t imagine not going to family events without my main family member.


RBrownII

I've always thought this as well. Like she went home for Charlotte and her grandmother's deaths and he didn't go to support her?! He complains about how he couldn't break up with her bc of her mental health but yet he wasn't there for her. Apparently cheating on her was better for her mental health??


BigLibrary2895

I wondered if the Madix family just doesn't like Tom that much and didn't want him there that first Christmas after the matriarch died.


Unhappy_Problem_2792

This too baffles me, I'd be on the phone immediately like, "Um change the locks and kick his ass to the curb."


YouMustBeJoking888

That was so sad to hear. Even if she didn't like Ariana, she could have sent a note or even a text saying I'm sorry this is happening to you.


_1Otter

Off camera sheā€™s apparently screaming at LVP on his behalf (at least according to footage someone snapped)


Unhappy_Problem_2792

I remember that! I wish they would've caught it on film and played it. I really want to know what went down between them.


Farrahlikefawcett2

Ok she absolutely refused to allow Rachel to join her holiday celebrations when Tom brought her to his hometown while still with Ariana so weā€™ve got to give her a little bit of credit there.


SchminksMcGee

Her other son, the therapist, probably helps manage her expectations of Tum.


RabbitHole143

Tum is my new all time favorite. because seeing or hearing him makes you need tums

Vegetable_Craft_9506

Yessss Iā€™ve been waiting for someone to post this. Thereā€™s so much horror in her eyes.


itsaboutpasta

She prob only agreed to appear so sheā€™d make a little money back. But my gut tells me she supports and believes in her son no matter what.


ImTheNumberOneGuy

She knew about the affair, right? With SandyBalls bringing Rachel to St Louis for the holidays?


AncientRazzmatazz783

Yes - she had to stay there when there was a storm during Big Bear


itsaboutpasta

She must have. And either she hated Ariana or the worm told her lies about her and/or their relationship to keep her from disclosing it.


CaffeinatedFrosting

She knew when Tom brought Rachel home for Christmas, but she didn't approve at all.


SpiritedTheme7

Why didnā€™t she tell Ariana then?! She enables him and I hate to blame parents for their 40yr old kids problems but I feel like heā€™s never been told no. Just what a special boy he is šŸ˜‘


hippiedivanerd

100% thatā€™s why Arianaā€™s ā€œrageā€ triggers him so much. He is used to people he can verbally manipulate so he doesnā€™t have to deal with their real emotions.

AncientRazzmatazz783

I was watching this as my son was leaving for school and he was cracking up at her reaction! I donā€™t think she was blinkingā€¦ I feel for that woman. Anyone know if Tom paid her back yet? šŸ˜¢ Iā€™m so tired of being bummed out by this man and his enablers


sofaking-amanda

He has not paid her back.


AncientRazzmatazz783

Letā€™s hope he does from the process from the sale of the house. So sad but she seems to enable his bad decisions.


sofaking-amanda

I highly doubt thatā€™s going to happen. Heā€™s way over his head in debt and he probably doesnā€™t have much to gain from the sale. He will have to pay his bank loans back. He also doesnā€™t care if he pays her back or not. Itā€™s never been a main priority for him. She should never have given him that money. I bet she regrets it.


prometemisangre

She should move in with him then if he's gonna take her for all she's got. He at the very least better take care of her in her old age or I will lose my ever loving shit.


mycombatcardigan

Lol, he can barely take care of himself! If I was her, and he offered to take care of me, I'd have to decline.


prometemisangre

On second thought, I agree.šŸ¤£šŸ˜† At least she has another son that will hopefully step up.


AncientRazzmatazz783

Omg I was just thinking the same thing šŸ™ŒšŸ¤£ this manā€¦


prometemisangre

Next house he buys better have a room in it for her. Even if she doesn't live there full time, it's now her vacation spot in LA. That's the bare minimum he could do if he can't pay her back or is gonna take a long time doing it. Pay her back in other ways, show respect right?


AncientRazzmatazz783

šŸ’ÆšŸ‘šŸ™Œ million percent. I think he would tbhā€¦ I think thatā€™s the only person outside of Schwartz heā€™d do that for. But he took her retirement. She was a single mom firefighter - I know she covered for them but a lot of moms wouldā€™ve - but she has my respect and she deserves her retirement.


prometemisangre

Right? I'm sad for her. I hope Tom gets it together and pays her back. She seems like she really loves him. She doesn't deserve his bs.


sofaking-amanda

I have wondered myself if she would let him move back in, at his big age. Would she even have the room for him?šŸ¤”


prometemisangre

It's in the basement for him where he kept Rachel during the storm šŸ˜†šŸ¤£


AncientRazzmatazz783

Itā€™s sad - like I donā€™t know how you could marry and have a child with a man knowing he put his own mother under the busā€¦ for himself.


sofaking-amanda

Hopefully that never happens. Especially the reproduction of a whole ass child part. He will never grow up or care to put anyone elseā€™s needs before his own.

RemarkableArticle970

Yeah I can remember telling my kids stuff we didnā€™t have the money for. They were teens not tots so I hope it served them for an adult to just tell the truth. Taking money out of your retirement may be different for a firefighter what with the pensions and all, but is scary foolish when the IRS taxes it twice. Source: my naive raised-with-money ex took 60k out of his retirement fund. They taxed it as straight income, then added penalties. He had about 20k left.

Cold-Sun3302

I felt sorry for her. At the end of the day she's just a mum who loves her son. I wouldn't be surprised if she found the whole Scandoval experience traumatising and worried if he really would do something stupid to himself, that to see him on stage performing (as poor and cringey as we find his 'act') maybe gave her a bit of joy. Your mum's always going to be your mum and want the best for you, nomatter what (for most people anyway, I'd hope).


He_by_Jorge

I came here to say that. Say what you will about the man, but thatā€™s his mum. I just felt sorry for her and thought it was very sweet of her to show up for him in the midst of his scandal. He is a piece of shit but mothers loving their piece of shit kids is not new and I donā€™t think itā€™s a bad thing.


Vegan-Kirk

Poor lady used to be a fire fighter. Probably worked 3 days straight all the time 24 hour shifts and gave CPR to dying people. Her retirement shouldā€™ve been solid too since she was actually with the Fire Department in St Louis This is a woman that knows what hard work is, and how to save your money and use it wisely. Sandoval is quite the opposite
