VANDERPUMP Rules star Tom Sandoval and his band The Most Extras can be seen performing to a half-empty crowd at a small New York City venue in photos and video exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun.
Tom, 42, who was ripped to shreds for his lackluster performance at a fan’s wedding last month, sang at the intimate Sony Hall on September 30.
The venue has a capacity of just 500 with tables, which was the arrangement used for Tim’s gig.
A video of the seated fans showed mostly empty seats as the camera panned to the front of the stage, where there was a sparsely gathered crowd for the Vanderpump Rules star.
An event attendee said, “I would be surprised if he broke even from the event.”
Those who were seated could be seen scrolling on their phones or appeared otherwise disengaged.
In another video clip, Tom interacts with the crowd in front of the stage, while taking photos with fans in attendance.
“It was the oddest thing, it was like watching a mediocre wedding band with a lead singer who thinks he’s Freddie Mercury,” the attendee said.
‘HE SOUNDS AWFUL’
Just last month, a since-deleted video emerged on TikTok of Tom performing at a wedding.
“Wow he sounds awful,” one TikTok user commented.
“He literally thinks he’s the main character,” said another, according to Yahoo.
“Him being a wedding singer while Ariana [Madix] has been on Broadway twice is truly just … chef’s kiss,” a third said.
Vanderpump Rules’ Rachel Leviss had ‘dark thoughts’ after affair and claims Tom Sandoval urged her to avoid treatment
Tom became infamous in the fallout from a cheating scandal in March 2023.
The reality veteran hooked up with fellow Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss, during his nearly 10-year relationship with girlfriend Ariana, 39.
In the aftermath of the scandal, Tom and Ariana were sued by Rachel, 30, for revenge porn in February this year.
Both Ariana and Tom tried unsuccessfully to get the case thrown out.
Rachel, who has not returned to Vanderpump Rules, accused her x lover and his ex-girlfriend of invasion of privacy, revenge porn, eavesdropping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
RACHEL’S SUIT AGAINST TOM & ARIANA
According to the suit, first reported by Deadline, Rachel became an “object of public scorn and ridicule.”
In the suit, Rachel’s team says the reality star does not deny that her actions in the affair were “morally objectionable and deeply hurtful to Madix.”
The suit said that she has offered numerous apologies, but went on to say “There is more to the story, however.
“Lost in the mix was that Leviss was a victim of the predatory and dishonest behavior or an older man, who recorded sexually explicit videos of her without her knowledge or consent.”

The suit alleged that the videos were then distributed, disseminated, and discussed publicly “by a scorned woman seeking vengeance, catalyzing the scandal.”
The 19-page lawsuit said that ultimately Rachel checked herself into a mental health facility and remained there for three months, all while “Bravo, Evolution, and the cast milked the interest her excoriation has peaked.”
The filing concluded that to “make matters worse” Rachel was “misled” by Bravo and the show’s production company into “believing that she was contractually barred from speaking about her mistreatment.”
The suit alleged that Rachel’s career was left in “tatters” as “Bravo and Evolution watched viewership explode, and the rest of the cast enjoyed unseen levels of public recognition and professional opportunity.”
