Sandoval's a Liar (VPR Reunion part 2, RHONJ Reunion) 

I definitely think it’s a bit of projection from Lala but it’s also the fact that Sandoval has talked negatively about Lala’s daughter’s conception (twice now) & he’s always screaming at Lala & Katie about accountability, hypocrisy, being honest/open, etc., meanwhile he’s living a lie, being a hypocrite, & being unaccountable.

Rachel “dropping” the TRO was all for show because in California you cannot have a temporary restraining order dropped unless/until you appear in court and then a judge decides if it will be dropped or become permanent. Her lawyer should have known that so it is just to appear like she’s t trying to fix it. So with that said if she truly regretted it she would have gone to their scheduled court appearance and requested it be dropped there, but no she was at Ariana’s house with Tom the day of the court hearing 🙄🙄🙄

Not only Sandoval - Schwartz is willing to die on the bro code hill. He has his own bad behavior too.

The drama secret yet to come happens in part reunion part 3. It is allegedly revealed via one-on-one interview with Sandoval, Raquel, or Ariana. Speculation suggests this “affair” goes back much further than 8 months. Perhaps the affair started prior to the breakup of James Kennedy and Raquel’s engagement which ended in fall 2021.

When he was arguing with Scheana and she said he should’ve lied to her face and he screamed back “I DID!” then immediately tried to walk it back I thought of you guys, he’s gonna talk himself into his own grave cause he’s not clever enough to weave convincing lies that quickly. If he could think on the spot without us seeing the gears turning it may have worked but you can literally see him trying to remember what lies he’s already said

So glad you moved the camera closer. Now I can see your expressions.

1:14:24 Steele for the win! Listen Allie, might be the MVP of the season because she blew the whistle on Scandoval but I only think two things when Allie is onscreen. 1) when is James gonna learn and 2) when is this group going to learn. It’s like no one has discernment in this group. Allie is there to be on the show.

On James not responding: if there is legal liability, he should not respond or discuss it further. If anything was signed, it means there was some resolution and Sandoval is bringing up a topic that James prob can’t respond to. Sandoval keeps bringing up scenarios that had legal implications, like his dramatic recall of Scheana on speakerphone. I’m sure James was inappropriate and I agree that his drinking is an issue; I think it will prob be a storyline this next season, but it wasn’t a focus on this one. Sandoval brought up specific pre-planned jabs like this, or Lala’s IUD, etc. Sandoval didn’t mention it in good faith, he did it to deflect from any accountability. It’s just exhausting to see him digging up things that are completely unrelated. James is taking a break from drinking, he’s found a good therapist, he’s clearly trying to improve. Sandoval is desperate and I would like to continue this focus until he actually apologizes.

One big Easter egg for me was the code word that Sandoval gave Schwartz to take out his Xanax, which was code word “Green” meaning greenlight, do the Xanax stunt to take away from Rachel’s entrance! Sandoval is a master manipulator, but the jig is up! We’re all seeing right through it now in real time!!😝

I think it started while she was with James- the one nite stand. Then died down When R left J, I think it heated right back up-but Sandoval never broke up with Ariana. I think R became more careless in hopes of getting caught- WWHL - Sandoval most attractive Tom.

Philly in the building! Love y’all Channel. You guys are always spot on.

Congrats to your daughter Steel 🎉 Watching my kiddo succeed is my drug of choice!

Tom was texting Rachel during the 2 episodes. He's holding his phone on his seat typing away....

I have been waiting for this!!!!! Love ya both!!! Love from STL, MO and no we DO NOT claim Sandavol🤮here in STL. He and ROACH-el need to stay far away please.

I like how Allie handled herself at the beach. “I’m fine you’re not fine “…

I came across your podcast and am thoroughly enjoying your takes on these reunions. So fun to listen to you two banter and unpack everything going on. You’re insightful and emotionally intuitive. Well done!

I love you guys! Sometimes I don’t agree but that is what a dialogue is about! Go birds!

Accountability Tom and Rachel! They love the excitement of hiding relationship. Sickening.

It actually came out that Racheal’s lawyer did not for the paperwork to dismiss. The type of restraining order - temporary - there was no dismissal process - you go to court - then they grant it or deny it. Once granted if situation changes you can file for a dismissal.

Did you catch Scumdoval say green light to Schwartz so he could pull out the pill bottle? It was just when Rachel was walking out

Scheanas attorney said on her podcast said that with that type of restraining order they have to go to court...there is no "oh sorry my bad just kidding". she went in front of a judge to get it and only a judge can dismiss it in court....

Y’all are the best. Thank you!

I'm so loving the Steel (metal not Remington) rants! They're hella entertaining and spot on. Sir Shoots-A-Lot is entertaining as well, however, my soul resonates with Steel. I love your view point on my bravo faves. I'll keep watching you guys even though I hate Philly sports fans 🫢😘

The girls trip Melissa was referring to was the ultimate girls trip not Ireland

Luis said that to Joe while T & Melissa was filming UGT

Great podcast!! Love watching you both. Quick point from the end of reunion part 2- did you both catch scumdoval day to Schwartz “green light” when he pulled out his Xanax? Purposeful distraction when Rachel came out!?

Why do women have to break down and cry and show their emotions and be vulnerable in order to be recognized or in order to be validated, men are not required to cry and be vulnerable and show their emotions in order to be understood or validated, nothing against you guys but I’m asking you to please start thinking about this, women shouldn’t have to keep sweet and be vulnerable to be accepted by society, we are allowed to be angry and rage if we want to bcuz of past experiences On another note, I’m so glad to see you recognized Sandoval’s behavior as narcissistic in terms of him victim blaming and yelling at Ariana and her supportive friends and always deflecting and lashing out at others after he was the one having an affair and being a pathological liar for how long, a normal person would be so apologetic the whole reunion, but a narcissist can’t contain himself, he had to lash out and be manipulative every chance he got

Steel my man, keep ranting away - I was right there with you! I think you and Dev just need to build a bedroom for "Tutti Scooty, aw rootie." Did the video go back to just the logo for anyone else for the last 5 minutes?

1:39:39 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I almost stood up and clapped. That was a whole word.

I just rewatched the VPR episode. Yes ratchet has a bodysuit style top on in the last part of her and Tom at the break. However her sweater with the heart was on the couch beside her. When the camera was focused on Tom, it looked like movement on the left and I think it could be her taking the sweater off. So not sure it was filmed in segments then edited together

It was ultimate girls trip it wasn't the Ireland trip. They were friends being Joe & Louie during the ultimate girls trip.

Love your breakdowns!

It wasn’t the trip to Ireland they were talking about they were talking about ultimate girls trip is when Louis wanted to fly out to be one the show

I thought that Louie was talking about the trip the year before when the girls were in Puerto Rico if I’m not mistaken, it was before they were even engage. Louie and Taresa just started dating when he made the comment, let’s fly over to the girls

I love you guys ❤❤ great personalities

Just wanted to say the whole dismissal of the restraining order was bs. Per CA state law it can not be done like that. Scheana, Lala and Scheana's lawyer were on her podcast talking about it today, great podcast about the legal system and definitely gives you the other softer side of Lala and why she has so much anger. Love you guys and enjoy the podcast!!

All season he kept saying that she was replacing him in the friend group. Boys night he left because R showed up and rather than ask her to leave Sandoval dismissed his feelings.

Scheena had both Lala and her lawyer on the Schenaigans podcast this week. They talked about how that paperwork actually was incorrect and about a lawsuit. Raquel's lawyer couldn't get the retraining order dismissed, hence why Scheena still went to court but Raquel didn't show up.

Great take on Tom stomping around the parking lot like he is a rock 🌟 or a “celebrity”

This Texas girl loves listening to you’ll and am obsessed with sports. My teams are Cowboys 💙😂, Astros, and Spurs.

I have heard that Raquel had tried to spin that story about James & Ally arguing at the club / James grabbing Ally. Apparently she was talking to bloggers to get them to perpetuate this narrative. People that were there have said they are making it a bigger deal than it was. I don’t believe James just yelled once either though. I think it’s in between what James said and what Sandoval said tbh

I love y’all with Zack! I think you guys are fun to listen too together ❤❤

At the time James was getting on the show ( with Kristen) TOM SANDOVAL WAS DOING THIS VERY SCANDAL - the same behavior same words same gaslighting Same creating a narrative that his partner is crazy- staler abuse Just swap Ariana for Kristen and Rachel for Ariana. If James were unchanged he’d be with Ariana. LOL

Bo D. was a regular guest on the Don Imus radio show back in the day - entertaining NY character who used to brag about hanging suspects off the side of buildings by their boots to get them to talk

Scheana's lawyer said that the piece of paper that was handed to Scheana on camera was the wrong piece of paper for the kind of restraining order that was against Scheana! Also, the type of restraining order in California cannot be dismissed without going to court! They talk about it this week on Scheana's podcast with her lawyer! That is why Scheana went to court on the 29th! Just thought you should know!

It was before LOUIE was on RHONJ.

If A and T were coaching and protecting the brand- Ariana had to his some things. It’s a way to isolate her too- roping her into us against the world - protect the brand…

loving the intro this pod!!!😂

Joe wasnt on the list....they talked about it back when they did Teresa checks in and the next season

One sick thing is all that bragging about having sex all over the apartment- that was with Tom. 😱

Haven’t you guys seen Giggy drinking out the goblet at the dinner table lol … it’s not surprising he was on the poker table 😅

I can’t stand Theresa. She is never held accountable by bravo. I love Melissa.

I’m exhausted hearing that we should “give Melissa and Joe a chance.” Take all four of them off the show! Teresa has managed to have various story lines along side the family drama, Melissa and Joe have never one time had their own story. They have been on for years, they could have provided a real story outside of Teresa at any time and they never have! The two times they tried the story lines were so obviously made up stupidity that no one cared. I’m over the whole family and Melissa and Joe are liars that deserve nothing else. Take them all off

Thank you guys my watch party said also Melissa what's the best dressed she gave me Diana Ross in Mahogany that hood took it over the top you go girl.

❓Could you guys put time stamps in the description when you have multiple topics❓

With age comes wisdom, That is why Lisa stated that Lala has gone too far. Lisa knows every last one of them has done the same thing to one degree or another and Lisa is pointing out the facts. Now they’re all self righteous and indignant??? She unequivocally stated she did not agree with what Tom and Racquel did. She is also aware that a good friend doesn’t toss you out like Yesterdays trash. We all mess up but we should have good enough friends to point that fact out and help us get back on the right path. If you don’t then they never were your friends. It’s like the saying goes you know who your real friends are when things get tough. I’M TEAM LISA!

Producers heard something over hot mic ?

DEEP! Nice burn !

Does anyone find it annoying that Scheana keeps saying “it’s physically impossible for her hands to make a fist ….” When it’s obvious that even though Scheana may have not punched Raquel but most likely pushed Raquel hence the nail-like scar on Raquel’s face.

Wonder if we think of Sandoval as someone who has been lying, manipulating, and grooming Rachel for who knows how long? To me, it seems like he has convinced her of his point of view. Over time, when we think we are in love, and blindly believe who we love, other people around us lose their value. Power and control over her along with isolating her from the others in the group over the past year emotionally by getting her all in on HIS view of everything.

I listened to Scheana's podcast and apparently, after Rachel broke up with James and she had no place to go, Scheana let Rachel stay in her old apartment and paid the rent on it for her. She also brought some random guy over and had sex on her kitchen counter.

it came out n Shenanigans podcast that the paper was to dismiss a completely different kind of case. So, according to Sheana;s lawyer, it was worthless. Sheana thinks it was a publicity stunt to get some good feeling from viewers,

1:08:28 *standing ovation* incredible

the trip they were talking about was the Tre and Melissa were on ultimate girls trip not Ireland....

I think the bomb is that ratchet lays a physical abuse allegation agast James. Remember about the nose job revision and how she said how he bumped it. Also the girls were worried about a time he grabbed her wrist. I think that's why slimedovile brought up the whole thing about James slapped a waitress's ass and grabbed her wrist. If that's it, then it could be why the cast might want to opt out of next season. But wouldn't producers just fire James instead?

Bros, you do know Tom & Racquel were banging as far as 3 years?

from someone that watched NJ from day 1....Teresa used to be a different person...someone we cheered for which is why they halted filming until she came back...i understand people change but there is a difference between change and rewriting history...which she doesnt constantly....Melissa has receipts from things they did with the girls...there are flash backs on the show that prove it too....

I remember the butt slapping comment differently. I thought James said something cot the effect- Come on have you ever known me to be slapping butts? But there was a lot of cross talk.

❗️Re: James smacking a girl on her tush @ a club event. It may NOT have been a Bravo/VPR event, therefore Andy/Bravo would not be able to legally address it! I do not condone this behavior!

Well you skipped the Scheana/ Katie issue. Scheana did do wrong there by putting so much trust in Rachel. I hope she changes a little. She has a lot of good - but she stirs the it by carrying tales - that makes good TV - but she doesn’t always carry the right facts. Remember her throwing Stassi under the bus to Ariana by saying she would not be at their pool party because it’s a frat house - when That was LaLa

All I can say is look at season 2 reunions part 1 it could be Sandoval talking today. Same lame excuses blah blah blah poor me I'm a victim. Blame the woman scream at other women. I never realized what a real scumbag he was. I guess he always had Jack's to hide behind .

I think the reason these moments of “clarity” from Raquel are so nonsensical is because they aren’t her talking points. Her family hates Tom a lot! So, she’s just regurgitating questions from them that she doesn’t care about or believe.

Nah, dude... it was RHUGT season 1... that Louie wanted to crash...

The obituary will read Infamous philanderer and pathological liar……

It floors me. That any reasonably sane human being would side with Theresa at all !!! I’ve never seen a grown woman lie as much as her. Even when we all know (yes some of her “fans” are In Denial and put their fingers in their ears I can’t hear u I can’t hear u ) that something is true because we literally see it take place she still screams that’s not true. Or she just flat out lies but Andy says nothing. What kind of women mother invites a man that has multiple women coming forward of extreme abuse to move into a home with four daughters. 🤮🤮. I guess the same kind of woman that goes along with stealing money from you and I. Taxes and banks companies etc so that she can show you she’s better then you !! 🤮🤮

I can’t tolerate Teresa and her horrible choices in men. She trusts them blindly. First one was a criminal. 2nd one pretended to be some “at one with my emotions” guru and then showed his true shady AF colors the last few episodes. Teresa’s screeching is annoying. The ONLY thing good about her during the reunion was her new haircut. 🤷🏻‍♀️I have been and will always be Team Melissa and Joe.

I wonder if Rachel was pinned (Klonopin) up?

I was wondering is Sandoval sitting there staring at the floor- should he “ perjure “ himself

Sandoval’s word of the day is deflection

TWO OF THE WORSE QUALITIES A PERSON COULD HAVE ARE CHEATER & LIAR. SANDOVAL HAS BOTH. LADIES, DONT GET ANY ON YA

I heard maybe Rachel was pregnant by James and tim talked her into keeping it a secret and getting an abortion, which she did! Idk if that's it

So do you think R broke the restraining order when she and T left the trailor.

These shows are great examples of karma at work. You get what you put out there. 😂😂😂

The girl who cried at aging out of pageants…hmm

Imo, wonder if Luis, investigated Tree, prior to stalking her. 🇬🇧👵

Please leave LVP alone. 😢😂

I feel like the big revelation is that James beat Raquel and she is going to label Sandavol as her savior. Especially with how many times he brought up how physical James was.

Been stuck in BrovBros loop…but this I couldn’t watch. Marg is gross and I can’t believe yall didn’t see that. And there is no RHONJ without Teresa.

Tom & Ariana went to couples therapy & Ariana was trying to do what Tom had said he needed in therapy…. when he got his ego stroked they started having sex! WOW!

You're not talking about the show, you're talking about yourself.

Here's my take on the whole story of James smacking someone's behind. I will say that it's not something to be taken lightly but it's also none of Sandovals business to be airing that out there on a reunion when they are getting the highest ratings and use it to throw stones at someone. This is not a show where Tom is wanting to shed light on S.A victims. This is Tom using it to get back at James. As someone that has been brutally S.A'd I find that offensive and if I was the victim I would feel dirtier about that. It was a smack. It was wrong. But it's not anything extreme or unheard of at a club. Not downplaying but just saying. Yes, Tom didn't name names but they signed a waiver or whatever. They dealt with it behind closed doors for a reason. This woman did not make any public statements but we all know how TMZ and other entertainment outlets are and it's very easy for them to dig into the story and find the woman and air it. Unless she gives permission then fine. I think James not continuing it was smart and I think Ariana shutting it down was good that she did that. It's not Tom's place to do so and this reunion is not about that AT ALL!!! It never was a part of the season.

I think one “bombshell” could be an admission that it started way sooner than they admitted. I think there also may be some truth to theory about Lisa moving to Vegas and reformatting the show ⬇️ SHOW FORMAT, LISA MOVE: Have you considered the rumors that Lisa & Ken are moving to Vegas & setting up a spin off series with a new cast? This meant the OG cast (prob including Jax Brittany) are now based on them living in studio city, running businesses, having babies, etc. There was speculation that it was going to be based around TomTom & Schwartz & Sandy’s, instead of Pump & SUR. Ariana was very clear that she’s not going to film with him or be part of his storyline. I don’t know how they do it, but i hope they all come back. I was enjoying Jax’ commentary but I don’t know how much he’d add to this situation. Unless he offered to buy into Schwartz & Sandy’s… which I just thought of because I’m faded. Omg, sorry, VPR Overload.

Don’t know if your Yellowstone fans… there is a scene when a tourist hits on Beth’s husband- he says he is married an points out his wife staring daggers across the bar. The woman approaches the wife and says I’m gonna take your man to my hotel and f him- you can watch or stay her. Th tourist was very surprised to get her a•• beaten. Seem like Racheal.

Steele, what is in notebook! Brad Pitt asking😂😂🥹

I think Fuda lit the match, ran, and watched Marge and others work to burn her to the ground. Not a fan of Fuda or Marge- both were too mean and cruel to Danielle. And Jackie needs to leave and be gone, another Marge brown noser

Seems like you guys don’t do research before the pod. First, Alexia’s show was off air for years when Louie started dating Teresa. She is married and was with her now husband before Miami got back on air so the timing of the claim makes no sense. Alexia actually took the time to do a video right after the reunion aired to refute the rumor. She was also at Teresa’s wedding and is a friend to the couple. The ladies are good at throwing nonsense knowing that most of their fans are dense enough to not fact check before believing it. Surprised that you guys fell into that box. I don’t even like Louie but the man films even less than Frank. He didn’t even appear in multiple episodes unlike Joe and Frank, yet he is thirsty for camera time? The guy has a ridiculously long a list of flaws, odd to throw one at him that is untrue. Btw, Teresa’s wedding rated higher than the episodes during the season and bravo put the show on hold when she was in jail, while her mouth was hella reckless at the reunion, I don’t see them letting go of her, show’s main anchor and star.

The individual interviews were recorded the day after the reunion so the TRO wasn’t dropped until after the reunion
