As we’ve been reporting, the 40-year-old cowl band frontman stated a number of loopy s**t throughout his 80-minute sit down with Howie and Mandel’s co-host (and daughter) Jackelyn Shultz. Perezcious readers will recall he stated within the Tuesday convo he supposedly break up from Ariana beforehand, implying his dishonest wasn’t that unhealthy, we guess? Of course, the supposed breakup was on Valentine’s Day… And then there was Tom’s declare he and Raquel Leviss are “kind of taking a break” proper now amid the firestorm following the dishonest revelation. And then there was Tom defending the very fact he flat-out isn’t going to maneuver out of the house he shares with Ariana. Oof!!
But misplaced within the shuffle concerning Tom’s comfortable touchdown on the podcast is simply how a lot followers are HATING Howie’s function in it!! In the feedback of the present’s YouTube vid, followers slammed the Deal Or No Deal star. They felt Mandel’s transfer to ask for empathy for the TomTom proprietor was an excessive amount of to deal with. And others sensed Howie was attempting a little too exhausting to justify Tom’s dishonest methods.
Behold only a (very) few of the 1000’s of reactions to the sympathy Howie confirmed Tom all through the interview:
“Why is howie justifying this?????”
“Uncle Howie, with peace and love you don’t need to justify this man’s actions. He knows what he did was wrong”
“Omg Howie. Stop.”

“omg Howie, you’re embarrassing yourself”
“Howie is giving Andrew Tate. Asks for empathy for Tom without ever offering any to Ariana. Just two man babies feeling victimized for being called out.”
The Andrew Tate name-drop. OUCH!!
One of the largest factors of rivalry for followers on Tuesday was particularly how Howie very clearly didn’t know sufficient concerning the Vanderpump Rules universe to run an in-depth interview. Right from the start of the interview, Mandel admitted to not watching VPR and never following the Scandoval storyline. Instead, the America’s Got Talent decide stated, he merely favored Tom ever since assembly him at a marriage years in the past.
Oookay…
So it’s not that he really sides with Sandoval after getting all of the details… it’s that he has completely NO IDEA what’s happening? So he can’t put the 39-year-old’s claims in context and decide them appropriately (i.e. harshly)?
Howie’s daughter Jackelyn overtly admitted to being an enormous VPR fan. And together with her sitting within the co-host seat, followers had been hoping she would take management of the interview and get Tom on the ropes. That’s not what occurred although! As Howie continued to regulate the interview all through the whole 80-minute ordeal, viewers saved getting an increasing number of annoyed.
Here are a handful of the numerous reactions to Mandel lacking the mark on Tuesday:
“[Howie] has no idea who he is or anything about the show, shut up and let your daughter do the interview!”
“Howie respectfully isn’t asking good questions. We need someone who actually knows what’s going on and didn’t get briefed on the topic.”
“this is the most unprepared, so far fetched pod cast i’ve seen in my entire life. like blind leading blind”
“I’m sorry for Howie’s daughter. She should’ve done this by herself”
“I wish someone was doing his interview that actually knows what’s going on”
“i love this. he literally ran to the one podcast host that literally had no idea of the situation so that he could retell the narrative and cast himself the victim while trying to personify a humble and gracious man.”
“Howie is so clueless… he called Tom a ‘talented young man.’”
“Any time Tom finally started to answer something we were interested in hearing, Howie steered it away.”
”You shouldn’t be doing this interview! You don’t know something Howie!”
Yikes! These VPR stans don’t maintain again. Not that we’re hating it!! But they undoubtedly put their beloved Bravolebrities by means of the paces, and Howie is discovering that out the exhausting method proper now!
