Tom Sandoval Says Leaked Messages Admitting To Second Affair Were Photoshopped

Tom Sandoval never admitted to having a second affair. RadarOnline.com is told the "leaked" direct messages between the embattled Vanderpump Rules star and a man named Patrick Somers were fake.

"Those were not real. All photoshopped and made up," Sandoval's rep revealed to RadarOnline.com on Monday.

Somers' Instagram has been taken down and wiped clean after he caused a firestorm by publishing alleged messages between himself and who he claimed to be Sandoval.

In the messages, Somers made it seem like he confronted the reality star about a third woman.

According to him, Sandoval not only cheated on his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with their Pump Rules costar Raquel Leviss but he strayed on both females with a model named Julia. In the messages, Sandoval seemed to confess to two-timing Ariana and Raquel; however, RadarOnline.com can confirm that Meta removed the messages.

Patrick's Instagram now reads "user not found."

As RadarOnline.com reported, Ariana uncovered Sandoval's 8-month affair on Wednesday night after she found an inappropriate video of Raquel on his phone. Minutes before, Ariana was beaming, playing the supportive girlfriend at his band's show.

We're told she was "blindsided" when she learned about her boyfriend's infidelity, with an insider saying this is the "ultimate betrayal."
