Just days before filming started on season three ofWinter House back in March, Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal rocked the world—and the cast of the Bravo series.

And while Sandovalultimately dropped out amid the backlash, fans will get to see all the drama play out on Winter House.

Upon Schwartz's arrival, everything was immediately addressed among the cast, Danielle Oliveraexclusively told E! News. "He had so much anxiety and so it was like the elephant in the room," she explained, "and he was like, 'OK, do you guys want to just talk about it?'"

And, yes, they did. "We were like, 'Do you need a hug?'"the Summer House star joked. "'Here's a drink and a hug.'"

That was especially the case when Schwartz took a break from filming in Colorado to shoot the explosive VPR season 10 reunion, where Sandoval wasobliterated for cheating on ex Ariana Madix.

"I definitely was asking questions at that point,"Emanuel said with a laugh. "He needed a lot of support at that point."
