“Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave Schwartz my friends and family out of this situation,” Tom wrote on Instagram. “Schwartz specifically only found out about this very recently, and most definitely did not condone my actions.”

He continued, writing “This was a very personal thing. Also Schwartz & Sandy’s might have my name on it, but also there are 3 other partners and 20 employees, who especially rely on the restaurant for income for them and their families. Just like TomTom, I’m a small part of a much bigger thing. Please direct ur anger towards me and not them. They did nothing wrong. Im so sorry that my partners, Greg, Brett, and Schwartz and our employees have to suffer for my actions.”

“I will be taking a step back & taking a hiatus out of respect for my employees & partners. I need some time to address everything else,” he wrote, signing off with “Sorry for everything.”

Sources have spoken out with major bombshells about the end of the relationship, including how Ariana learned about Tom‘s alleged affair.

The cast of Vanderpump Rules has also spoken out, with many coming to the support of Ariana.
