Tom Sandoval Breaks Silence on Instagram Block Drama with Ex-Raquel Leviss
Tom Sandoval, known for his role in Vanderpump Rules, recently expressed his bewilderment over Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’s decision to unveil her social media distancing from him. The move came as a shock to many, especially after the duo’s intense history that shook Bravo’s viewers.
A Birthday Ignition
On her 29th birthday, the former pageant queen stirred up social media waters when she took a bold step. Sandoval had left an apparently friendly message on one of her posts, stating, “Happy Birthday, Rachel, I really hope ur finding peace and happiness. Miss u friend.” However, Leviss’s reaction wasn’t the one many anticipated. She quickly posted an Instagram Story, showcasing her block of Sandoval’s account, embellished with a glaring “OK bye!” sticker.
Sandoval didn’t hold back, commenting, “Obviously, I think it’s a little immature and petty… To post that you’re blocking seems a bit thirsty.” It’s no secret that their affair, which was made public in March, had ripple effects, causing a stir among Bravo fans and leading to speculations about season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
Schwartz & Sandy’s Perspective
The co-owner of Schwartz & Sandy’s didn’t stop there. He explained his initial birthday greeting, emphasizing it was simply to extend well wishes. “I just wanted to be nice and say, ‘Hey, hope you’re having fun. Hope you’re doing well.'” Sandoval said. He also expressed sympathy for Leviss’s stance, saying, “I just kind of feel bad for her, in a way. I don’t understand. I think she’s really struggling with taking accountability for her actions.”
Raquel Leviss: Reflecting on Choices
Leviss’s exit from season 11 of Vanderpump Rules has been a focal point for fans. In a candid conversation with Bethenny Frankel on the Just B podcast, she delved into her feelings about the past events. “I look back at my actions and I’m disappointed in myself as well. That is not the person that I want to be. I wasn’t happy. I was really hurting,” she expressed. The profound effect of her relationship with Sandoval and its consequences resonates with her deeply, making her ponder about “a lot of trust that was broken between friendships.”
An Open End?
As things stand, Sandoval and Leviss’s saga remains unresolved. Sandoval reflected on their last interaction, saying, “We never had any sort of closure. I had a conversation with her that ended very much in a way of, ‘All right, well, I’ll talk to you in the next few days,’ and that was it.”
It’s clear that both parties have emotions running high. But, for Vanderpump Rules fans, the question remains: How will this tale of two exes evolve in the upcoming season?
Vanderpump Rules can be streamed in full on Peacock.
