Raquel Leviss claims Tom Schwartz knew about her affair with Tom Sandoval since “the very beginning,” and she revealed a bizarre call from Sandoval after they first “hooked up.”
The Toms have been BFFs for a decade, and they now run two businesses together. Throughout Scandoval, Vanderpump Rules fans have questioned what Schwartz knew.
“Schwartz knew since the very beginning,” said Raquel on her new podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, in a clip shared by @Thebravobabe on Instagram. “I got a phone call from Tom [Sandoval] the next morning after we hooked up for the first time and my mind was racing … He was at Schwartz’s apartment.”
She said Sandoval told him before she and Tom “even had a conversation” about what happened, or what their “gameplan” would be.
“Cause immediately I was going to film with Ariana [Madix] and a group, our group of girls that night,” added Raquel, who said she told Sandoval that she didn’t “know what to do.” Tom then responded, “‘Well, just like go along like everything’s normal.”
“I was like, ‘Okay so just so we’re clear, we’re not gonna tell Ariana?’ And he was like, ‘No, we’re not,’” Raquel explained.
Fans will likely punish Schwartz for hanging on to the secret. In our post-Scandoval world, anyone associated with Sandoval is radioactive. Some viewers, however, are tired of the endless witch hunt.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 premieres on Tuesday, January 30, at 8/7c on Bravo.
