Scheana Shay’s pals, Jamie Lynne and Kael Ramsey Ackerson, revealed what they know of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss‘ alleged affair on the latest episode of Jamie’s podcast.
Nearly two weeks after the Vanderpump Rules forged realized of their castmates’ reported romance, which reportedly left Sandoval’s longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, feeling “blindsided,” Jamie and Kael shared once they believed the obvious couple‘s relationship started to alter.
On the March 14 episode of Jamie All Over, by way of Us Weekly, Kael, who beforehand accused Raquel of mendacity about Scheana giving her a “black eye” in an effort to deflect from the scandal at hand — and produce down Scheana within the course of — stated Raquel advised him that cameras have been rolling when she started to develop “closer” to Sandoval.
“She basically just told me [it happened] seven months ago and after the Las Vegas trip,” he defined, signaling to a visit the forged took final August amid season 10. “I told her, ‘Bro, you literally called me an hour or two after the girls that made you cry and then you hit me back when you were in Los Angeles.’ And she was like, ‘[After the boys night] is when we got closer.’”
Meanwhile, Jamie recalled Raquel becoming a member of Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, and James Kennedy for his or her boys’ evening in Los Angeles.
“I went to Saddle Ranch with Raquel, Sandoval, and [Schwartz and Sandy’s manager] Brett. You were there because Raquel had just gotten back from Vegas and was very upset and asked you to come out that night,” she shared. “It somehow just ended up being the four of us going to Saddle Ranch after and Raquel and Tom were super into deep conversation at the bar.”
Looking again, Jamie stated that after the group left the Saddle Ranch, she observed Raquel and Sandoval having a severe dialog.
“I’m now in my car with Brett and Raquel and Sandoval were sitting on the curb outside of Saddle Ranch just talking. I didn’t realize that at the time like how close they were talking or how intimate it actually looked,” she continued. “So I start filming the two of them talking. We’re so clueless that we have no idea what’s actually transpiring.”
Months later, after studying of Sandoval and Raquel’s rumored affair, Jamie rewatched the August 2022 clip.
“I had this thought [at the time]. I thought, ‘I’m not posting this because this looks way too intimate and I don’t want Ariana [Madix] to feel a certain way about this,’” she admitted. “I [didn’t] want her to feel disrespected, but it didn’t set off alarm bells, like, is something inappropriate happening? It was just that she might get the wrong idea and I don’t want to put anyone in that position.”
While Jamie did really feel that the video was fairly damning, she didn’t take it as a touch that one thing was occurring between Sandoval and Raquel.
“If you watch it back — without the voiceover on it — it looks super close and super intimate. But bottom line is that none of us knew beforehand,” she clarified.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
