SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details on the season 10 finale of Vanderpump Rules Reunion.
Raquel Leviss finally had an appearance on Vanderpump Rules Season 10 Reunion Part 3. Bravo had been hyping the show’s final minutes as Leviss was set to drop a bombshell that could potentially impact the show’s cast on whether they would want that for season one 11 return.
“I think telling the truth is important to me,” Leviss said in an interview filmed after the reunion. “I think I’ve been lying all along and cheating to the point that I don’t want to lie anymore and it’s all out there anyway.”
Leviss said the worst was already out there, but she had to continue “lying about certain aspects of time.”
After Scandoval broke out, Tom Sandoval claimed that he and Leviss only met once, but it turns out there were many more times, including the trip to Mexico where Scheana had married Shay.
“[Sandoval] I feel like it would be less hurtful to say it didn’t go on for that long,” she added.
Leviss revealed that their affair continued during filming of the series and that their encounters “gained momentum after filming wrapped.”
The former beauty pageant contestant said she even suggested forming a throuple, but Sandoval declined, saying Ariana Madix wasn’t interested.
Although Leviss said she didn’t want to betray Sandoval as he was the only person who was in her corner, she dropped a big bombshell about the affair. Leviss confessed to being acquainted with Sandoval at the house he shares with Madix, although he said nothing ever happened there.
During the reunion, Leviss took responsibility for the affair she had with Tom Sandoval behind Ariana Madix’s back.
“I am so ashamed and embarrassed that I am even able to hide this secret from someone who has been in my corner from the start,” Leviss said. “Ariana, I’m so sorry I cheated on you. I can’t understand the pain I’ve caused you.”
She continued: “I was completely selfish and you’re right, selfish isn’t the right word because it doesn’t even come close to describing the state of mind I was in. There was an error. The way it was handled was a complete mistake. The way we betrayed the people closest to us was detrimental to all of our friendships and I see all the consequences for my actions that I didn’t even consider living in the moment.”
When presenter Andy Cohen asked why she was having an affair with her best friend’s boyfriend, she replied that it was because she fell in love. Cohen asked Sandoval if he was in love, and after hesitating to answer, said he was.
Madix chimed in, telling Leviss, “So my dog had just died, I was crying in your frigging arms and you were like, ‘I should fuck her boyfriend.’ You are lower than the damn lowest of all low people. You’re a fucking psychopath. You scare me as a person. The fact that you’re capable of this shit – unbelievable.”
In conclusion, Madix shared with Leviss that after the reunion, she would never speak to her or see her again.
