Chrishell Stause Excludes Tom Sandoval in Promoting ‘Traitors’ Season 3
Chrishell Stause's recent Instagram update is stirring discussions. On Friday, November 22, the Selling Sunset star, aged 43, shared promotional images for the third season of The Traitors. However, one noticeable absence raised eyebrows: Tom Sandoval.
While fellow contestants like Sam Asghari, Dylan Efron, and Nikki Garcia appeared in the post, Sandoval did not. Fans are questioning whether this exclusion was deliberate, especially since there has been no public feud between Stause and Sandoval. Some followers speculate that his past controversies may play a role.
In March 2023, Sandoval dominated headlines after ending his long-term relationship with Ariana Madix due to an affair with their Vanderpump Rules costar, Rachel "Raquel" Leviss. Fans had been invested in Sandoval and Madix's story since 2014, seeing their dynamic unfold on screen.
Stause’s followers speculated about her position amid the situation, with comments hinting she might support Madix. One resonated particularly, stating, "Omg if you blocked off Sandoval’s face in the last slide… ICONIC BEHAVIOR 🔥." Another follower echoed this thought, proclaiming, "Now I KNOW Chrishell is team Ariana 😌✨ icons supporting icons."
Following his infidelity revelation, Sandoval, now 42, apologetically addressed Madix through social media. In a heartfelt Instagram message from March 2023, he expressed remorse to everyone impacted by his actions, especially Ariana. "I made mistakes," he stated, acknowledging his selfish choices that caused significant pain for someone he cares for deeply.
He continued by reflecting on the emotional toll of their breakup, stating, "I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us." Sandoval also mentioned that the true essence of his feeling for Madix was missing from televised moments, saying, "My love for Ariana was stronger than any camera could ever have captured." He noted that many highlights and challenges of their years together escaped recorded documentation.
Wishing the end of their relationship had been more respectful, he conceded, "[I wish] it ended with the same respect for her that it began with. I owed Ariana better."
