Raquel Leviss Chats With ‘TMZ’ in Strip Mall and Spills About Sandoval Affair

So, TMZ caught up with Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss outside a strip mall yesterday, and she seemed only too happy to chat about Scandoval (which, for the uninitiated, involves Tom Sandoval cheating on Ariana Madix with Raquel).

First up, Raquel explained how things with Tom even crossed a line to begin with, and where they stand now:

“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," Raquel said, going on to add, "I don't know where the relationship is going to be. We’re just kinda 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.”

Raquel also denied having a threesome with Tom and Ariana, confirmed that she'd texted Ariana an apology, but she "didn’t receive it very well,” and said her kiss with Tom Schwartz was not a cover-up, saying, “I genuinely had an interest in Tom Schwartz and there was a genuine curiosity there."

Interesting! Though FYI, Twitter is in a state of side-eyes over this interview:

Reminder that Vanderpump Rules is filming their reunion tonight (Thursday, March 23), and Raquel confirmed that she will be in attendance. Not sure what I'm more thirsty for: watching the episode when it finally comes out, or the inevitable leaks that'll flood Instagram and Twitter tonight.
