Tom Sandoval has backed out of a pre-scheduled interview with Page Six next week, after scandalous news of his affair with Raquel Lewis broke on Friday.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star, 39, was willing to sit down with us next Wednesday to discuss. His partnership with Hydroyxcut and other topics about his reality show with his co-star and business partner Tom Schwartz.
However, a spokesperson for Hydroxycut told Page Six on Friday — hours after Sandoval received brutal online backlash for allegedly cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix — that the Bravolebrity is no longer available to the press.
However, the rep noted that the weight-loss company’s partnership with Sandoval “hasn’t changed” other than being “forced to push back interviews.”
