In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the events leading up to the cheating scandal, Raquel’s attempts to make amends with her co-stars, and the drama that unfolds when she joins the cast on stage.

Raquel Gushes about Tom Sandoval

Before joining her co-stars on stage, Raquel sat down with Andy Cohen to discuss the events leading up to the affair with Tom Sandoval. She revealed that the two had been friends for a while, but things became more romantic after a girls’ trip. Raquel said that Tom made her feel heard and seen, and she “was living in my own little reality hoping it would work out.”

Ariana’s Response

Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval’s girlfriend at the time, allegedly never questioned Sandoval or Leviss about their affair. Raquel claimed that Ariana “never pressed” them about any suspicions and believed everything at face value. However, in an interview with The New York Times, Ariana made it clear that she has nothing to say to either of them and isn’t interested in filming with them.

Raquel Apologizes to Ariana

After news of the affair broke, Raquel took to social media to issue an apology to Ariana. She wrote that she was “speaking to a counselor about her personal issues” and acknowledged that she had sought emotional validation through unhealthy intimate connections. Raquel said that she was “taking steps to understand her behavior and make healthier choices.”

Raquel and Sandoval on a Break

Ariana Has a Costume Change

Lisa Vanderpump ran into Ariana in the hallway during the break, and was surprised to see that Ariana had changed out of her dress and into a yellow sweatsuit. Ariana explained that she didn’t want to sit with her ‘tits out’ during lunch.
