Andy Cohen noticed an odd energy between Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz when they appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” in February 2023.

Days after news of Sandoval’s shocking Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal with co-star Raquel Leviss broke, Cohen looked back on the last time the bar owners were at his Bravo Clubhouse – just a month ago – and he revealed he noticed that something was wrong with their dynamics.

On March 6, 2023, episode from Sirius XM’s “Andy Cohen Live” Cohen announced that he hopes Bravo will re-air the February 8, 2023 and March 1, 2023 episodes of “Watch What Live.” Sandoval and Schwartz were in the earlier episode and Leviss and Scheana Shay were in the latter.

“Bravo needs to repeat those two ‘Watch What Happens Lives,'” Cohen said. “We have to look at them like the Zapruder tape. Because when Schwartz was with Sandoval, I think on premiere night, there was a weird energy between them.”

Cohen noted how nervous Schwartz seemed throughout the show.

“Schwartz kept looking at Sandoval almost for help with the answers,” he said. “So the big question is, when did Schwartz find out about this, okay? I mean that’s one of the big questions. “

on March 3, 2023, TMZ broke the news that Sandoval and his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix split after almost 10 years due to his alleged affair with Leviss.

Not just Schwartz Keep looking at Sandoval he previously answered questions during the “Watch What Happens Live” performance, but kept covering his mouth with his hands. At one point, Cohen even called him out, and Schwartz explained that he covers his mouth with his hands when he’s “nervous.”

“Can Schwartz ever answer a question without looking at Sandoval? It’s like he can’t speak for himself.” wrote one viewer back then on Twitter.

“WHY DOES SCHWARTZ HAVE HAND ON HIS MOUTH ALL THE TIME!” asked another.

In hindsight, fans believe Schwartz knew what was going on between Sandoval and Leviss when he appeared on Watch What Happens Live.

“He certainly knew,” wrote a Reddit user.

“Even while watching in real time, I found it super odd that Schwartz kept looking at Sandoval during WWHL and agreed that it seemed like he was seeking help answering questions. Looking back, there’s no way he didn’t know what was going on.” Another Redditor agreed.

Tom Sandoval said Tom Schwartz was unaware of his affair until “very recently.”

Sandoval has previously admitted Schwartz knew about his affair, but only “recently.” In his first Post scandal instagram postSandoval urged critics to leave his loved ones alone as the situation started to get unstable with angry Bravo fans.

“Please release Schwartz, my friends and family out of this situation,” Sandoval wrote on March 4. “Schwartz specifically found out about this only recently and definitely did not condone my actions. That was a very personal thing.”

A similar message was posted on the Instagram account of the duo’s West Hollywood bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s. But some people were upset by the statements.

“It’s almost certain that Schwartz knew about it. So the S&S statement that he doesn’t know pisses me off because they’re trying to save face by only making it seem like a Tom is the bad guy when they BOTH are.” wrote a Reddit user.

“Anyone who really thinks Schwartz didn’t know all along is deluding themselves. The only People the Toms are always honest with are themselves.” wrote another commenter.
