Raquel Didn’t Think Sandoval and I Had an Open Relationship

Not having it! Ariana Madix shut down claims that Raquel Leviss thought Tom Sandoval was in an open relationship initially of their affair.

During half 1 of the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion — which aired on Wednesday, May 24 — Scheana Shay alleged that she had heard from a mutual pal that Sandoval, 40, instructed Raquel, 28, that he and Ariana, 37, weren’t unique in April 2022.

The declare triggered some followers to suppose that maybe the previous pageant queen didn’t understand she was doing something mistaken when she started her affair with the Schwartz & Sandy’s entrepreneur.

“Could it be that he manipulated Raquel the same way that Ariana has claimed he manipulated her for years,” one fan commented on Page Six’s Instagram put up about Scheana’s allegation. “I mean why wouldn’t Raquel believe him if that’s what he told her. He was taking her on vacations, to meet his parents … ”

Ariana herself then replied to the fan, setting the report straight. “Just to clarify — she didn’t BELIEVE that,” she wrote. “She told someone that he told her that. There are missing major chunks here which is totally understandable. They can’t fit every piece of context into the show.”

Tom, for his half, denied ever telling Raquel he was in an open relationship in a clip from Peacock’s prolonged model of half 1 of the reunion after Scheana, 38, known as him out.

“Raquel was told in the hot tub at Coachella — last April [2022] — by Sandoval that they were in an open relationship and he was coming onto her,” the “Good As Gold” singer claimed throughout the episode.

The TomTom cofounder shot again, “What are you talking about? That is bulls—t. I did not say that. She did not repeat that.”

Despite denying the allegation, the Missouri native beforehand admitted that his months-long affair with Raquel wasn’t his first indiscretion throughout his nine-year relationship with Ariana. (Us Weekly confirmed in March that the duo known as it quits as a result of infidelity scandal.)

During the Pump Rules season finale, Scheana requested Tom about his long-alleged hookup with “Miami Girl,” to which he replied, “Ariana has always known the truth about that.” The restaurateur repeatedly denied having intercourse with Annemarie Maldonado (née Kunkel), a.okay.a. “Miami Girl,” initially of his romance with Ariana throughout season 3 of Pump Rules.

The Something About Her entrepreneur, for her half, revealed why she saved her ex-boyfriend’s secret for thus a few years throughout an look on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen earlier this month.

“They slept together, it was before he and I were exclusive,” she defined. “I didn’t want people to think the worst about the man I was planning to spend the rest of my life with.”
