Andy Cohen and the producers at Bravo received’t like this!
As you recognize by now, Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval had been caught having a months-long affair – regardless of the 39-year-old enterprise proprietor being in a longtime relationship with their co-star (and her pal) Ariana Madix. Ever since, their solid members have been vocal about the entire state of affairs. But for Raquel? Beyond a public apology to Ariana and some follow-up statements, she has remained fairly quiet about what occurred.
Considering the cameras had been rolling once more after the affair information broke, most individuals assumed the 28-year-old was saving her feedback for the present and reunion. However, she is able to communicate now! According to TMZ, a photographer approached Raquel whereas she was sitting outdoors of Blush Nail Bar in Valley Village, California by herself on Wednesday, and he or she willingly answered a bunch of questions on Scandoval. When first requested about how she was doing since her affair with Sandoval was uncovered, the SUR waitress responded:

Beyond the dishonest scandal, Raquel has been coping with some main drama with Scheana Shay. She was granted a restraining order after accusing the 37-year-old of punching her when she came upon concerning the affair. The alleged assault resulted in an harm to her head, a black eye, and a minimize on her eyebrow. However, Scheana denied the accusation, saying by way of her lawyer that it was “a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her.” Several folks, together with former solid member Kristen Doute, even have claimed the black eye was faux.
But Raquel insists the bodily altercation occurred! In reality, she famous that she has a “permanent scar” from the assault! She stated:
“Scheana knows what happened that night. I’m not going to go into it too much, but I do have a permanent scar on my eyebrow. So, yeah.”
We’ll have to attend for the small print each time the reunion airs and/or if deets from their courtroom listening to later this month come out. Moving on to the reunion…
As we beforehand reported, Raquel lastly confirmed that she can be attending the taping in individual on Thursday. When pressed on how she was feeling concerning the reunion and seeing everybody within the solid, she expressed:
“I know I have to take accountability for my actions, so I’m completely prepared to do that.”
But with regards to taking duty for her half within the affair with regards to her former bestie Ariana? She shared that the 2 have spoken – however their discuss didn’t go effectively (understandably):
“We talked on the phone. And I apologized over text, but she didn’t receive it very well.”
When requested what Ariana replied again, Raquel stated she “preferred not to say,” including:
“But just know it wasn’t received well.”
What did you count on? For her to simply recover from it rapidly and settle for your apology regardless of being concerned together with her boyfriend behind her again for roughly seven months?! Speaking of which, Raquel (considerably) addressed how her relationship with Sandoval started, explaining:
“It started off as a friendship, and it turned into something more. But I’m sure we’ll go into detail about all of that tomorrow at the reunion.”
When pressed on when it began, she merely responded:
“We’ll go into it at the reunion tomorrow.”
For those that don’t know, there was a rumor posted by the celeb gossip account DeuxMoi that this complete drama began as a result of Ariana, Raquel, and Sandoval had a threesome. But fairly than leaving it as a one-time fling, the TomTom co-owner saved pursuing the previous pageant queen afterward. However, Raquel swears that fan concept is fake! She advised the photog:
“No, that’s not true. No.”
That wasn’t the one concept she shut down! Before her affair with Sandoval was revealed, Raquel had been going through the warmth for hooking up together with his greatest pal and enterprise accomplice Tom Schwartz throughout Scheana’s marriage ceremony in August. But as soon as the scandal erupted, many followers believed their fling was a cover-up for the affair – regardless that the 40-year-old and others swore he had no concept she and Sandoval had been collectively at first. But what does Raquel need to say about it? She insisted:
“No, that’s not true. I genuinely had an interest in Tom Schwartz, and there’s a genuine curiosity there. So it wasn’t a coverup.”
The individual then questioned if Schwartz knew concerning the affair all alongside, to which Raquel stated:
“No.”
From there, Raquel touched on whether or not she has spoken to anybody within the solid since every thing went down, revealing:
“No, I haven’t.”
While the photographer talked about how folks have “attacked” her an excessive amount of over these previous couple of weeks, Raquel exclaimed:
“It’s been a lot. I’ve been off social media altogether. I’ve been advised to do that. But it has been a lot. But I guess there are consequences to my actions and I wasn’t really thinking things through too much. So here we are.”
“Wasn’t really thinking things through too much.” Ya, assume??? And in fact, one one that has been VERY vocal about her opinions about Raquel has been none aside from Lala Kent. So the 32-year-old unsurprisingly got here up whereas speaking concerning the backlash, because the reporter famous she has been “aggressive” in the direction of her lately. Raquel said:
“Yeah, she has always been aggressive toward me.”
When requested why she thought Lala was “super mean,” she acknowledge the truth that they weren’t at all times on good phrases:
“You would have to ask her that question, but I think I’ve always rubbed her the wrong way.”
We can guess Lala may have a cause delivered to us quickly on social media…
As for the place her relationship with Sandoval stands? Raquel finally doesn’t actually know proper now:
“I don’t know where our relationship is going to be. We’re kind of just trying to get through these next few steps and trying to make amends – hear everybody out. I know a lot of people are angry. So I think just getting through these next few steps and seeing where it goes. We’re not putting a label on anything. We’re just kind of taking a break for now.”
Hmm… Was this determined earlier than the 2 kissed on digital camera or afterward?
We guess this supposed “impromptu” chit-chat about Scandoval was Raquel’s means of getting a phrase in concerning the state of affairs because the solid is little doubt going to go OFF on her and Sandoval through the reunion taping. Who is aware of in the event that they’ll get a phrase in?! It is likely to be the season 7 reunion another time the place everyone seems to be shouting over one another. Nevertheless, it should undoubtedly be an explosive episode.
