Tom Sandoval ‘blindsided’ Bravo with Howie Mandel interview, ‘could be fired’: report

Tom Sandoval reportedly “blindsided” Bravo producers by going behind the network’s back to appear on Howie Mandel’s podcast.

The “Vanderpump Rules” star left no stone unturned as he divulged details of his months-long affair with Raquel Leviss on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast Tuesday.

But his words may have serious repercussions on his future at Bravo.

“They [producers] had no clue he was doing this, of course not. They never would have allowed it,” an insider told The Sun.

“They’re putting so much time and energy into making sure the rest of the season is better than any other season and hyping up the reunion.”

“So, him pulling this b–h move is basically producers’ worst-case scenario,” the source added.

And while it’s unclear what awaits Sandoval, the outlet’s sources close to the network say that “no one on the cast would be shocked or upset if he was fired.”

It’s said that Bravo’s top dogs found out about Sandoval’s interview when Mandel announced it earlier this week.

“They’ve been freaking out and basically scrambling since,” the source added, saying the producers “have no idea what he is going to reveal so they’re watching it in shock along with the fans.”

“Him doing this is a big ‘f–k you’ to all of them,” the insider added.

Page Six has reached out to Bravo and reps for Sandoval for comment.

During his appearance on Mandel’s podcast, Sandoval dropped a slew of bombshell revelations, including details of his “magnetic” first kiss with Leviss, and even claimed that he broke up with Ariana Madix 2 weeks before Scandoval rocked the world.

“I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier, and I told her, I said, ‘Listen, we don’t have to post anything on social media, like, let’s talk through this,’” he alleged.

Sandoval claimed that they kept the split between them, so they could “figure out a way to navigate this that helps us both out and makes it easier” — but asserted that Madix, 37, was in “denial.”

Sandoval also said that Madix turned a “blind eye” to his budding romance with Leviss.

“She had heard things and seen things about Raquel but was very much turning a blind eye or just trusting me, I guess,” he told Mandel.

The scandal-scarred Bravolebrity also revealed that he and Leviss are taking a step back from their sexual relationship for the time being.

“We’re not putting any label on it,” he said. “We’re just kind of taking a break.”
