Ariana Madix has put to rest any rumors of an affair between Tom Sandoval and Billie Lee. During the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Madix said that she didn’t believe the rumor because she trusts that Lee wouldn’t do something like that. The co-founder of “Something About Her” confirmed that she spoke to Lee about the rumors after they resurfaced.
This comes after Lala Kent mentioned her theory during the season 10 finale of Vanderpump Rules. During the episode, Kent expressed that she had heard rumors of Sandoval and Lee having an affair a few years ago. Kent also shared her thoughts on Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss and believed that it wasn’t the first time he had cheated on Madix.
Madix confirmed during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” that Sandoval and Annemarie Maldonado had slept together before she and Sandoval became exclusive. She added that she had lied on her ex-boyfriend’s behalf because she didn’t want people to think badly of him.
Sandoval and Lee first became friends when she joined the cast of the Bravo series as a recurring cast member during season 6 in 2017. The pair were spotted walking together outside Sandoval and Madix’s home in April, and Kristen Doute subsequently criticized Lee for hanging out with Sandoval amid his cheating scandal.
Shay agreed with Kent’s theory about Sandoval and Lee during an episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast. She expressed that she thought something may have happened between the two of them and that they made a pact not to tell anyone. Madix defended Lee when an article claimed she was looking after Sandoval’s dog, noting that Lee was helping her out when she was out of town for work.
