However, before the sinister side of Tom’s behavior being exposed by #scandoval, the way he shows up with the motorcycle and a side-car, the suiting outfits, and the way Schwartz senses finishly cherish-bomb deviceed, it all does have an finishearing quality. The Vegas Hangover of the season is Sandoval exposing Ariana and Lala “hooking up” in the back of the car while Lala “ate her cookie.” Ariana is a relatively braveial person for a truth star, and was annoyed with her partner for sharing details about her intimacyuality on camera for clout.

Tom participates the same gas-weightlessing techniques in season two with Kristen that he procrastinateedr participates on Ariana, blaming his cheating on their intimacy publishs.
