The mother of George Floyd’s daughter is slamming Tom Sandoval for having the gall to compare his “Scandoval” cheating scandal to Floyd’s murder at the hands of police in May 2020.

While Roxie Washington, the mother of Floyd’s 10-year-old daughter Gianna, told TMZ she doesn’t know who the “Vanderpump Rules” villain is, she said such a comparison is “dumb s–” he should repeat in the mirror.

In addition to the stupidity of the comment, Washington called out its ignorance given that all parties involved in “Scandoval” are still alive.

While Sandoval made the decision to cheat on Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nearly 10 years, with their close friend and castmate Raquel Leviss, 46-year-old Floyd lost his life to police brutality — two entirely different situations, Washington noted.

Sandoval made the comparison when speaking to New York Times Magazine for an article published this week titled, “How Tom Sandoval Became the Most Hated Man in America.”

“I’m not a pop culture historian really,” the Bravo star told the magazine when asked why he thought “Scandoval” captured the attention of even some of the biggest media outlets in the nation. “But I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?”

But Sandoval didn’t stop there, going on to say he felt as though he “got more hate than [former ‘That’s 70s Show’ star] Danny Masterson, and he’s a convicted rapist.”

Washington equated Sandoval’s remarks to Kanye West’s false claim in 2022 that Floyd’s death was due to a fentanyl overdose, rather than now ex-officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly 10 minutes. Washington subsequently filed a $250 million suit against the controversial rapper.

In 2022, Chauvin — who’d pleaded guilty the year prior to violating Floyd’s civil rights — was sentenced to 21 years behind bars on the federal charge.

Sandoval apologized for the “inappropriate and ignorant” remarks, which came nearly a year after the world learned of his monthslong affair with Leviss.
