If walls could talk, Tom Sandoval's apartment would have a lot to say. After all, it's seen Sandoval through multiple roommates: Jax Taylor, Tom Schwartz, Kristen Doute, and then finally, Ariana Madix. Sandoval and Ariana have since announced that they bought a new home, but his apartment holds a lot of memories. One memory they would probably like to forget is when Jax and Kristen hooked up on his couch, while Jax was still dating Stassi Schroeder and Kristen was still dating Sandoval, which was revealed in Season 2. So what became of this infamous couch?

"I think we burned that," Schwartz told The Daily Dish podcast. "We performed an exorcism on it. If that couch could talk... I passed out on that couch many times."

A common misconception as to what happened to the only other witness of Jax and Kristen's affair is that it was was handed down to another person with whom Jax cheated: Faith Stowers. After all, Sandoval and Schwartz literally carried Faith on the couch for her to take it away. However, in the video above, Schwartz and Katie Maloney-Schwartz revealed that wasn't actually the couch on which Jax and Kristen had sex. In fact, Sandoval opted to keep that couch and give Faith another one.

"I like that Tom casually [said], 'No, no, the couch that Kristen banged Jax on, that's in my living room," Katie said.

"He was nonchalant about having the couch in which that happened on," Schwartz agreed. "It was so comfy that I think it sort of balanced out, if not negated the fact that... you know. Every person that you've ever seen in this group of friends has had sex on that couch."

As of Season 4, the couch still remained in Sandoval's apartment: "He got it steam-cleaned three times," Schwartz shared.
