“Look at this clown checking in on his Main Chick before he goes to get f*cked up and b*ng his Side Chicks.”

Netizens claim that Tom Sandoval’s plane photo looks “staged”

Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval was recently snapped on a flight to Pittsburg, where his face was towards the window, but his white nail-polished fingers were visible.

While his right hand was over his ears, his left hand was holding the phone in such a way that the screen was easily visible. It displayed Raquel Leviss’ name.

Apart from Lala Kent slamming Sandoval for the photo, netizens also had a field day criticizing the same. Many questioned how he was talking to Raquel over the phone when she was at a mental health facility where such devices were not allowed.

Fans also claimed that the whole thing seemed "staged" and accused Tom Sandoval of changing some caller’s name to Raquel for gaining sympathy. The photo, shared by the Twitter handles of TMZ and Queens of Bravo, raked in a flurry of responses.

Netizens also expressed their opinion in the comment section of multiple Instagram posts about Sandoval’s plane photo.

Media reports suggest that the person who took the photo didn’t realize that Sandoval was talking to Raquel. The passenger stated that the TomTom cofounder was trying to speak in minimal volume but his voice was pretty recognizable. The only words the traveler reportedly heard were, “f*cking Pittsburg.”

A few days ago, speculations were rife that Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss had broken up. He was also linked to several ladies, but later denied all the dating rumors.

Meanwhile, the two will be seen at the receiving end of the other cast members' wrath at the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion Part-2.
