Tom Sandoval is proving he can SUR-vive all the hate he's received since his cheating scandal with Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.

In fact, the controversial Vanderpump Rules star revealed his newest venture, the interestingly titled podcast Everybody Loves Tom, by acknowledging the vitriol he's faced since his breakup from partner of nine years Ariana Madix earlier this year.

The podcast promo kicks off with a producer asking Sandoval to come up with a name for his new project based on audience feedback. "We have been working with a focus group and we asked people to describe you," he explains, "and these are the words that they were using the most."

When the reality star replies, "Great. Hit me with it," the producer hesitates before reading some choice words off a list: "Scum devil, Sando-vile, narcissist, Sand-awful, scumbag, cheater, liar, scumbag."

He continues listing profanity-laden adjectives and, after getting bleeped through most of them, ends with, "Worm with a mustache," a nod to costar James Kennedy's infamous rant during VPR's explosive season 10 reunion in June.

All the negativity inspires Sandoval to settle on an eyebrow-raising title. "I got it," the TomTom co-owner announces. "Everybody Loves Tom. Yeah, it's perfect."

But the 40-year-old didn't stop there in reliving the hate thrown his way earlier this year. A second promo features some of Bravos' most famous fans weighing on Scandoval—and its central villain.

This includes the message Jennifer Lawrence revealed she wished she could tell him to his face on Watch What Happens Live earlier this year.. "You have bad skin," the Oscar winner said, "and there's no amount of spray tan that could ever change the texture of it."

Meanwhile, Amy Schumer was quoted saying during an interview, "I have always been annoyed by Tom Sandoval. He not only ruined white nail polish, he ruined the mustache."

Poking fun at all the attention he's received since the cheating scandal, Sandoval rolls his eyes and says sarcastically, "You guys!"

According to a Sept. 27 announcement, Everybody Loves Tom will welcome an "eclectic mix of celebrities, musicians, and friends for candid and entertaining conversations" with Sandoval each week. "From juicy behind-the-scenes VPR stories to discussions about music, fashion, cocktails, and so much more."

The first episode premieres Sept. 28. In the meantime, keep reading for every juicy detail you should know about VPR's upcoming season 11.
