Jax Taylor is adding more heat to the Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss cheating scandal by bringing up past incidents like the infamous Miami girl hookup. The Vanderpump Rules alum made his revealing comments in the wake of the blowup of one of the biggest TV scandals, now termed “Scandoval,” involving Sandoval’s affair with Leviss while still dating Ariana Madix.
Jax Taylor Revealed Tom Sandoval Miami Girl Hookup Did Happen
Appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, the TV personality admitted to host Andy Cohen that he did not find it surprising that Sandoval cheated with Madix. According to him, Sandoval’s infidelity was something he always knew about, as far back as the Miami incident, when he was first accused of cheating on Ariana. Sandoval strongly denied the allegations for years. However, Taylor now claims it did happen, and he witnessed it play out. He explained:
“I was there. I was in the room next to them.”
Explaining further, Jax Taylor pointed out he spent time with Tom Sandoval in Miami and got to witness the onset of the affair. His statement was in reference to long-standing rumors that Sandoval hooked up with another girl during their boys’ trip to Miami in Vanderpump Rules season 3, at the onset of his relationship with Madix.

Notably, the woman in question, identified only as “Miami girl” confronted Sandoval at SUR in a 2015 episode, telling Madix they hooked up in Miami. However, Madix failed to believe her, considering it a ploy by Kristen Doute, Sandoval’s ex.
Taylor then aimed for the jugular, saying the Miami girl hookup was not the first or only time the Tom Tom co-founder cheated. He admitted there had been other times over the years, long before Raquel came into the mix.
Jax Taylor Ropes In Tom Schwartz
During his talk with Andy Cohen, Jax Taylor managed to drag their Vanderpump Rules co-star Tom Schwartz into the “Scandoval” blow up. The reality star claimed Schwartz knew about the affair between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss. While he had no idea how long his former co-star had known, he claimed Schwartz tried convincing his business partner to come clean to Ariana, to no avail.
His admission ultimately discredited Sandoval’s previous claims that Schwartz did not know of his affair, urging critics to leave him out of it. At the time, the statement was met with backlash, as most observed the insincerity, especially as it included no formal apology to Madix. He issued another apology on Instagram, this time, apologizing to his ex-partner while expressing how much he regretted the impact of his actions. That did little to pacify fans or mend his broken relationship with Ariana Madix, from whom he is now separated after nine years together.
