Vanderpump Rules fans slam Tom Sandoval's storyline
In the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules season 11, Lisa Vanderpump called Scheana Shay and Lala Kent to Villa Rose to discuss Tom Sandoval.
The Bravo matriarch wanted the two to talk to them about Tom Sandoval's declining mental health. While the RHOBH alum brought up Tom being in a "dark" place, Scheana pointed out that she reached out to him but he blocked her. The cast member told the cameras that Tom Sandoval was embracing his "villain" era.
"He is taking no accountability for anything he has done, so Lisa saying he's depressed, you know what, I haven't seen that. I've just seen him project."
The Vanderpump Rules season 11 cast member Lala Kent noted how Tom Sandoval treated her in the past, including a comment he made the previous night about her being a narcissist.
She noted that she couldn't forgive anyone who couldn't acknowledge how they hurt her. Lisa pointed out that Lala had a support system whereas Sandoval had none.
"I look at Tom Sandoval as a man who is a shadow of his former self. I don't ever want to see anyone go down the path of that kind of depression, when you feel the whole world is against you," Lisa said in a confessional.
Lisa compared Tom's depression to that of her late brother, who passed away in 2018. She told the two that there is only so much a person can take before they break. Lisa added that she didn't want the Vanderpump Rules season 11 cast to be in a position where they have "regrets."
She further told them that she never thought "su*cide would touch" her life. She emphasized the seriousness of mental health issues and noted that Tom Sandoval wasn't the type of person to openly admit to having "su*cidal" thoughts.
Fans took to social media to react to the conversation and slammed the network for pushing the storyline and a "redemption arch" for Tom Sandoval.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 will return to screens with a brand new episode next week on Bravo.
