Lisa Vanderpump Defends Supporting Tom Sandoval On VPR Finale: 'I Didn't Take Sides'

perezhilton.com:

Lisa Vanderpump is not choosing sides amid Scandoval — no matter what! For those who missed it, this week’s big finale of Vanderpump Rules showed the explosive aftermath of Tom Sandoval’s months-long affair with Raquel Leviss.

At one point in the finale, viewers saw the 40-year-old swing by Lisa’s home to talk about the cheating scandal. While the 62-year-old reality star made it clear she thought the whole situation was terrible, she did try to support and comfort Sandoval when he began to have a full-blown meltdown.

Lisa even told him while he broke down in tears: Rather than cutting ties with Sandoval moving forward, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum expressed in her confessional that she wouldn’t abandon him amid the public backlash: Of course, fans do not have that much sympathy for Sandoval – especially after witnessing an entire season of his lies and manipulation while hiding his relationship with Raquel from then-girlfriend Ariana Madix.

So when viewers witnessed this scene between him and LVP play out, well, they were none too happy about the SUR owner’s support.
