Tom Sandoval was told to “k*ll” himself by an Instagram user after announcing the return of his podcast, Everybody Loves Tom.
Over two years after he became the villain of Vanderpump Rules, and of reality TV, by cheating on then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, 39, with their friend and castmate, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30, the 42-year-old was met with hatred from an online troll as he admitted to being “hurt.” Then, his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, 32, came to his defense.
“Hey, everyone! I’m excited to announce the podcast is coming back. Yes, ‘Everybody Loves Tom,'” Sandoval confirmed in an Instagram video on March 31. “And we’re gonna be having a lot of different guests on. I have my ideas, but I want to hear who you guys think we should have on, so comment and tag below who you think we should have on the podcast, and let me know. I’m excited to hear.”
While many fans were interested in the return of Tom’s podcast, and suggested he welcome Rachel or his other former girlfriend, Kristen Doute, 41, to the show, another person sent him a despicable message.
“Ummmm, more like ‘everyone only likes one Tom and the other one should do the world a favor and k*ll himself,'” they wrote, giving a nod to Sandoval’s friend and business partner, Tom Schwartz, 42.
Following the sharing of the horrifying post, Sandoval uploaded the message to his Instagram Story, along with his thoughts on the matter.
“Nothing like positivity on a Monday! Also yes it sometimes does hurt to hear things like this,” he admitted.
Around the same time, Victoria sprang into action against the Instagram user, encouraging her fans and followers to report her for the shameful post.
“She deleted her disgusting comments everyone please go report [her] Instagram.. I don’t tolerate s**cide threats. (She changed her Instagram name that’s why it’s tagged differently),” Victoria wrote.
Vanderpump Rules is expected to return to Bravo for a 12th season with an all-new cast sometime later this year.
