After much debate about when Schwartz learned about the infidelity and if he was “acting as a decoy” to hide the scandal, the reality star declared:
He went on to say Tom was having a “midlife crisis” over the summer, adding:
While Schwartz was “flabbergasted” by the news, he wasn’t entirely “surprised” because by that point he felt the couple’s affair had become an “open secret” since Sandoval was no longer doing as much to hide things. He explained:
On why he never told Ariana Madix, Schwartz insisted he was being fed a ”narrative” that the TomTom co-owner and his former long-term girlfriend had “broken up” or “attempted to break up multiple times.” Sandoval also “placated” him by promising he had “a game plan” and was “going to do the right thing” before continuing to “procrastinate.” This is a nice excuse now, but when you realize Schwartz has been holding onto this secret since August, there’s no reason he couldn’t have said something sooner. Sandoval clearly wasn’t going to come clean! Instead, Schwartz let half a year go by until Ariana unearthed the drama on her own in March. Pretty brutal!
