Not having it. Ariana Madix‘s friend Jared Lipscomb slammed Tom Sandoval for making a joke about cancer during his bombshell interview with Howie Mandel.
“My blood is boiling. What a f–king coward. How dare he?” the makeup artist said in an Instagram video on Wednesday, April 12. “I don’t care if it’s a joke in poor taste, f–k you. You are a coward. You are weak, and to compare what people go through in radiation during treatment [to Scandoval]? F–k you, you coward. You are scum.”
Lipscomb was referring to a portion of Sandoval’s Tuesday, April 11, interview on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast. At one point, the comedian, 67, told the bartender, 40, that “what doesn’t kill you make stronger,” referring to the aftermath of his split from Madix, 37, and affair with Raquel Leviss.
“Like radiation,” Sandoval quipped in reply, before immediately backtracking. “I’m just kidding, that’s a bad joke.”
Mandel agreed, adding, “Yeah, that was a bad joke.”

Lipscomb, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2019, was particularly incensed by Sandoval’s comments. “I am so disgusted by this video and his little quip,” he continued on Wednesday. “I had 12 rounds of radiation. I thought that was gonna f–king kill me.”
The screenwriter went on to say that he hadn’t “wanted to say much about scum” since news broke that Sandoval had a months-long affair with Leviss, 28. “I’m focusing on the positive of my amazing friend, who was actually by my side along with so many other friends during my cancer journey,” Lipscomb told his followers before slamming the TomTom co-owner for his lack of support. “The only two times this f–ker showed up was when there was cameras around. So, f–k you.”
