Tom Schwartz won’t go down with this ship—or at least he’s hoping he won’t.
The Vanderpump Rules star recently reflected on the continuing fallout from the affair between costars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss, admitting that the controversy—and the criticism he’s received over his part in the matter—has taken a toll on him.
“It’s incredibly messed up,” Schwartz said in a confessional for the upcoming June 12 episode of Fox’s Stars on Mars. “But the thing is I’ve become mired in it.”
He continued, “It’s been a huge source of angst in my life. I’ve been in this extended funk.”
The 40-year-old, who is on the reality show where celebrities experience what life would be like as astronauts on Mars, told fellow contestant Natasha Leggero that he feels Vanderpump Rules makes viewers feel better about their own relationships when they watch the “train wreck that is sometimes our lives.”
Schwartz also spoke to his own role in the affair, which he described as torrid.
