Lisa Vanderpump gives her two cents about the Tom and Raquel cheating scandal
The Vanderpump Rules star recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and spoke about the relationship drama between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss. She said that she was flabbergasted when she found out they were having an affair.
She added:
"I didn’t see it coming, nobody saw it coming. I have seen Ariana and I have filmed with her. It’s an integral part of the story now. I would say the word and I would use to describe her is devastated."
She further stated during her appearance on the Bravo talk show that she didn’t know who Raquel was. She added that she “stuck her toe in the Peter Madrigal pond."
She added that the Vanderpump Rules star snagged Oliver Saunders, “schm*ozed” with Tom Schwarts, and sh*gged Sandoval. She called the model a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Later, Raquel took to social media to publicly apologize to Ariana. She wrote that there is no excuse and that she is not a victim and has to own her actions.
Raquel added:
"In the time since this came to light, I am reflecting on my choices, speaking to a counselor and I am learning things about myself such as my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved."
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs every Wednesday at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
