Tom Sandoval Tries to Revamp His Image on AGT After Reality Drama!
Tom Sandoval's Shocking New Chapter: From Reality TV Heartbreak to America's Got Talent Audition!
Get ready for a dramatic twist, folks! After his high-profile cheating scandal on Vanderpump Rules, Tom Sandoval is trading in his reality TV fame for a shot at stardom on America's Got Talent. In a stunning move, the 42-year-old has left his mark on the hit singing competition show, leaving fans and judges alike wondering what's next for this former "most hated man in America."
The episode featuring Tom Sandoval airs on Tuesday, June 24, and it's safe to say that his appearance was met with a mix of shock, awe, and confusion. In a clip shared by thescholarlynote.com, Tom introduced himself as "the most hated man in America," referencing the infamous Scandoval drama that rocked Vanderpump Rules seasons 10 and 11.
But instead of dwelling on the past, Tom is focusing on his musical talents as he takes the stage with his band, The Most Extras. Donning a green sequin jacket and black pants, he belted out a cover of A-ha's "Take On Me" in a performance that was equal parts heartfelt and humorous.
Judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, and Mel B were left speechless by Tom's antics, with Cowell even cracking a small smile at the end of his song. But while some may have been won over by his charm, others – like Sofia Vergara – looked decidedly unimpressed.
Tom's decision to audition for America's Got Talent comes as he continues to navigate the aftermath of his cheating scandal. In March, he appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where he provided an update on the Valley Village home he once shared with ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix.
As you may recall, Tom and Ariana purchased their $2 million dream home in 2019, only to split in 2023 following his affair with Raquel Leviss. The drama unfolded publicly, with Ariana even suing Tom to force him to sell the house and split the profits.
Fast forward to October 2024, when Tom revealed on his Everybody Loves Tom podcast that he's working to get the house ready for sale. But in a recent Watch What Happens Live appearance, Tom admitted that the house has yet to find a buyer – nearly five months later!
"It takes awhile," Tom explained, adding that he's been handling most of the heavy lifting himself. When asked who's currently living in the house, Tom revealed that he is – and that he only communicates with Ariana through her lawyer.
As for Ariana, she's moved on to a new chapter, purchasing a stunning $1.6 million Hollywood Hills home last year. Tom, meanwhile, has been keeping busy, from his musical pursuits to his podcasting endeavors.
With his America's Got Talent appearance set to air on June 24, fans are eager to see what's next for this reality TV veteran. Will he find success and redemption on the show? Only time will tell!
