VANDERPUMP Rules has been banned from filming at Schwartz & Sandy’s after Tom Sandoval’s affair, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal. Read on to find out more.
Toxicity at Schwartz & Sandy’s led to Ban from Filming
The restaurant, Schwartz & Sandy’s, owned by Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, banned VANDERPUMP Rules cameras for season 11 because of the abundance of toxicity aimed at the restaurant. According to a source, this toxicity led to many issues with the staff and ultimately impacted the business. The restaurant received major backlash following Tom’s affair with Raquel Leviss. Consequently, the bar’s co-owner, Greg Morris, believed that filming there would ruin the business more than it had already been ruined, and thus prevented cameras from capturing the situation at Schwartz & Sandy’s.
Opening Credits Fallout: Schwartz & Sandy’s Exclusion
Fans noticed that Schwartz & Sandy’s was excluded from the show’s opening credits. Instead, both Toms posed at the bar at their other restaurant, TomTom. The exclusion raised questions, and a source revealed that it wasn’t part of the season and it was assumed that they could not film the opening credits there. Moreover, the source suggested that Lisa Vanderpump, an executive producer, likely wanted to promote the bar she had invested in rather than Schwartz & Sandy’s.

However, now that time has passed, Schwartz & Sandy’s is focused on getting business back to how it was when it first opened in 2022. The owners, Greg Morris and the Tom Toms, have had recent discussions to refocus on the restaurant and plan for a successful comeback, hoping for a more positive outcome moving forward.
