Clapping back! Howie Mandel slammed Andy Cohen‘s comment that he ‘didn’t do his homework’ before interviewing Tom Sandoval about his affair with Raquel Leviss.
“I don’t need to do homework,” the comedian, 67, told Extra on Wednesday, April 12. “I know who he is. I wasn’t gonna weaponize his information and kind of, you know, challenge him on each thing.”
The former Deal or No Deal host went on to say that he assured Sandoval, 40, he could open up without fear of judgment from his interviewer. “I also said to Tom, ‘If you come in, just tell your side. I’m not gonna judge it. I’m not gonna argue with you. I’m not gonna call you out,'” Mandel explained. “It’s not a deposition, it’s a podcast, right?”
The Canada native added that he doesn’t “condone cheating” but he’s “worried” about Sandoval’s well-being. “I was in the room with him. He was visibly shaken, visibly damaged at this point,” Mandel claimed. “He’s a human being and I have empathy for every human being, I really do. He’s going through a real tough time, maybe he deserves to go through a tough time, but I really do feel for him. I feel for Ariana [Madix], I feel for Raquel, I feel for anybody who is involved in this.”
Mandel and Sandoval both drew criticism for the Tuesday, April 11, interview, during which Sandoval claimed he broke up with longtime girlfriend Madix, 37, in February. The TomTom co-owner claimed that his Fancy AF Cocktails coauthor refused to accept the split. (Us Weekly confirmed on March 3 that the duo, who started dating in 2014, had called it quits after Sandoval was caught cheating with Leviss, 28.)
“Obviously, [Ariana] was very upset. She freaking punched me and all this s–t,” Sandoval claimed
