Shocking Tom Schwartz’s statements on WWHL that irked netizens

Schwartz revealed on WWHL that he found out about the affair in August 2022. This meant he knew about it before Ariana Madix found out. Instead of calling out his friend, he requested fans to give Sandoval a hug, which didn't sit well with netizens:
"[Sandoval] knows he's a monster for what he did. If you see him, give him a hug. Maybe he doesn't deserve it, but give him a huge. He's down bad.”
Another quote that left fans angry at Schwartz was when he called his ex-wife Katie Maloney a “monster”:
“She's put a lot of work into herself and she's way better now. Katie love you but in the beginning she was kind of a monster okay. She was a monster. She had, she has had a falling out with every single person in her life multiple times.”
Schwartz also called Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval’s affair “toxic,” and claimed that she was Sandoval’s “heroine.” He further mentioned that he didn’t enjoy kissing Raquel Leviss.
