00:03Several Vanderpump Rules cast members, old and new,

00:07have spoken out about the shocking news that Tom Sandoval

00:09cheated on his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Maddox, with Raquel Levis.

00:14Well, Jax and Brittany have now entered the chat.

00:17While speaking to People Magazine, Jax said,

00:19It wasn't shocking to me.

00:21I've known Tom Sandoval for 20 years.

00:23We grew up together.

00:24I just know his lifestyle.

00:26I know who he is, and I've said it many times.

00:28No one wanted to believe me.

00:30He continued,

00:31There's a reason why it's Raquel.

00:32It's because she can be controlled.

00:34Ariana's a very strong, independent woman.

00:36That's how Brittany is.

00:37But you can't control her.

00:39He added that he thinks Raquel's very easily influenced

00:42and that Tom likes to be able to tell her what to do,

00:45saying,

00:45I think she's very codependent, and I think he preys on that.

00:48He can control her, and she'll do whatever he says.

00:51Brittany added that she was completely shocked by the news,

00:54especially since Raquel did it right under everyone's noses.
