Tom Sandoval Crying: Real Or Fake?

But Janine Driver, a former agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and an expert on body language, thought Sandoval’s behavior was actually a “fake cry, likely in an attempt to manipulate all of us.” When dealing with “authentic sadness, the eyebrows are pulled together and up, however, Tom may have had Botox, which might limit some of this movement here but not all of it — and we see zero movement of his eyebrows,” she explained. “Tom projected an image of a beaten man with his slumped shoulders, hands in his lap and looking down,” Cobb noted before mentioning the reality TV star’s “head scratch, lip licks and tongue juts” when reunion host Andy Cohen asked Sandoval why he encouraged his best friend, Tom Schwartz, to get intimate with Leviss after having had sex with her himself.
