Tom Sandoval looks like the king of controversy lately, as just as Scandoval died down, he’s sparked even more outrage online as he shares pictures and clips with a captive tiger.
The Vanderpump Rules star sent the reality TV world into shock when his affair with one of his long-term girlfriend’s best friends, Raquel Leviss came to light during Season 10. Season 11 is set to be released at the end of January, where viewers will see the dramatic aftermath of what went down. But Tom Sandoval has created even more stir online, weeks before the series is set to air.
Tom Sandoval’s behavior is ‘so wrong’ after posing in pictures with captive Tiger
Taking to his Instagram stories, the VPR ‘villain’ shared a trip to Thailand with his friends, including co-star, Tom Schwartz. Within these photos, he shared himself at the zoo, posing with a captive tiger.
The 40-year-old posted a video of a tiger standing up on his shoulders, as he sat on the floor with a smile on his face.
Workers at the zoo could then be seen feeding the tiger a bottle, in an attempt to get it to place its front paws on the reality TV star’s shoulder.
He also posted another pic with the big cat right next to him as he sat down in a ‘modelesque’ pose.
The antics didn’t stop there as Sandoval went on to post a video of himself feeding a piece of raw meat to the tiger during his New Year’s trip.
Fans took to his latest grid post to share their outrage at the controversial photos.
“Please don’t advertise animal cruelty. You should know better. Tigers aren’t there for your entertainment. Shameful. Please educate yourself,” wrote one.
“Shame on you for posing with captive tigers!! Do better!” exclaimed another.
When you thought Tom Sandoval’s soul couldn’t be any darker, it turns out his soul has a basement.
This is SO wrong!!!

VPR ratings skyrocketed last year, and Tom Sandoval became a household name, although not for the right reasons.
He’s now said on his podcast he’s ready for 2024 after ‘just barely’ making it through 2023. “This last year’s seemed like it was so long,” he chuckled.
His affair with Raquel Leviss came out at the beginning of March, and it’s been a whirlwind for the gang ever since.
In the trailer for the new series, fans saw Sandoval is still living in the house he shares with Ariana Madix, and we’re sure we’ll see all the awkward moments played out on camera.
If the season 10 reunion was anything to go by, we know we’re in for one extreme ride.
