Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, stars of "Vanderpump Rules," have decided to close their bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, after just two years of operation. The decision comes amid a backdrop of turmoil that began with the explosive "Scandoval" controversy, where Sandoval faced backlash for having an affair with Raquel Leviss while dating Ariana Madix.

The closure marks a significant shift for the duo, whose bar was featured prominently on the Bravo reality series. Schwartz mentioned that the closure was a difficult decision for them to make, indicating that they had put significant thought and consideration into the move.

The bar, which opened in 2022, was meant to be a new venture for the pair, providing a place for fans to connect with them. However, ongoing controversy and the challenges of running a hospitality business after being in the public eye have likely contributed to their decision to close its doors.

The closure reflects the broader struggles within the reality TV realm and the impact of public scrutiny on personal and professional endeavors.
