In response to her suggestion, Leviss recalls Sandoval immediately shutting her down and saying, “No, that’s not happening.”
Madix and Sandoval continued to live together following their breakup and still co-own their home.
“I don’t know what’s going on between them because Tom has told me that they’re roommates and they’re still roommates, even if they weren’t quite roommates before, they are now," Leviss explains.
When Sandoval’s claims that he loaned Madix $90,000 and that “he cannot sell their shared home until she pays him back” are mentioned in the episode, Leviss adds that she has “no say in their living situation” and that “their finances are between them.”
