From employees to pals. Tom Sandoval and Billie Lee first became friends after the then-SUR hostess joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules.
While Sandoval has been a mainstay on the Bravo hit since its first season in 2013, Lee joined in 2018. During her debut year at SUR, Lee — who was the show’s first transgender cast member — quickly hit it off with the TomTom founder and then-girlfriend Ariana Madix. The comedian even went on an on-camera date with Ariana’s brother, Jeremy Madix.
“I love Ariana, so it just really kind of scared me and I did get a little nervous before my date [with her brother],” Lee exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2018. “But at the same time, I talked to Scheana [Shay] and she’s like, ‘You know who he is; he’s an amazing person. Don’t let [Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney’s] negative perception of him affect you and this date tonight.’ Lala [Kent] and Scheana really helped me that day, just putting me back into a positive situation because sometimes I think Stassi and them can be a little bit on the negative side.”
The reality TV alum further gushed to Us that her date with Ariana’s brother was “amazing” and they still “kick it all the time.” She added at the time: “I’ve said this from the start, I didn’t wanna get into a serious relationship. And I’m a little older than him and I know he has some things to experience, so I didn’t wanna jump into anything serious with him, but I do enjoy him.”
Lee ultimately left Vanderpump Rules after season 7 over claims that she had been bullied during her reality TV stint. Despite walking away from the show, she remained close with both Sandoval and Ariana.
