Tom Sandoval Compares Scandoval to George Floyd, O.J. Simpson

Tom Sandoval apparently thinks his dishonest scandal final yr was comparable to very large moments in popular culture … like George Floyd‘s demise, or the O.J. Simpson homicide case.

The “Vanderpump Rules” actuality star made the beautiful comparability in a brand new New York Times profile — the place he was requested why he thought the so-called Scandoval received as massive because it did in 2023 … when he was revealed to have cheated on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix.

Whereas Scandoval was undoubtedly a serious second … TS appears to suppose it transcended issues to the purpose that it elevated to a George Floyd moment, or an O.J. one. Sure, critically.

Here is what he mentioned … “I’m not a pop-culture historian really but I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?”

The author of this piece tries to lend him some grace, saying … “I think I knew what he meant. He was trying to express the oddity of becoming the symbolic center of a nationwide discussion and a major news story; what he communicated instead was something more honest, which is just how much the experience had made him lose perspective.”

There was one other wild quote on this interview, the place he likens himself to a now-disgraced “That 70’s Show” star who’s in jail. Tom says, “I feel like I got more hate than Danny Masterson, and he’s a convicted rapist.”

There’s one other telling second within the interview … the place Tom explains his rationale for dishonest on Ariana with Rachel Leviss. He is fairly blunt about it and simple too.

Tom says, “I did what I did because I was in an unhappy place in my life. I got caught up in my emotions and fully fell in love. Like, for real.” Tom apparently received up and went as much as his room after this to get able to exit.
