Tom Schwartz says that they got some negative publicity in the beginning but it all blew over finally. He says that it was back to being great. “thriving” was the word that Tom Schwartz used to describe it.
It appears that the affair had brewing for more than 6 months. And all this while Tom also kept up the charade with Ariana. This blindsiding devastated her no end. That betrayal hurt her badly because she had had long-term plans with Sandoval.
Ariana stumbled upon the truth about Tom’s affair when she noticed an NSFW video pop up on her former boyfriend’s phone. She went through the phone and stumbled upon explicit text messages from Raquel.
Sandoval has since gone public but not to apologize to his long-time girlfriend. Instead, he has requested fans not to target Tom Schwartz. He said that his friend recently learned about his affair and had definitely not condoned it.
He released a long statement in which he asked fans to direct their anger towards him and not Tom Schwartz, the other three partners, and twenty employees at Schwartz and Sandy’s.
