Rachel Leviss Claims Tom Sandoval Scolded Her For Making Him Look “Bad” After She Revealed He Filmed Her Without Her Consent On Camera

Vanderpump Rules alum Rachel “Raquel” Leviss is reflecting on that video — and, according to her, Tom Sandoval filmed it without her consent.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Leviss and Sandoval were involved in a months-long affair, even though he was already in a nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix. The Something About Her sandwich shop owner found out after discovering an explicit screen recording of Leviss — whom she considered a close friend — pleasuring herself on his phone.

“I felt very betrayed,” Leviss said of the video on Bethenny Frankel‘s Just B podcast. “I felt like I couldn’t trust this person. I felt like my privacy didn’t matter to him and he didn’t really give a good excuse besides he wanted me to see it later on to see how beautiful I was — but if he would’ve asked for permission, I would’ve said no.”

The former SUR waitress also revealed that she brought it up to Sandoval when Bravo resumed filming the fallout of Scandoval — however, he allegedly refused to continue filming unless producers removed the bit where Leviss accused him of taking the video without her permission.

“When Tom and I were filming at my apartment after filming got picked back up, I said to Tom, ‘How can I trust you? You filmed me without my consent.’ And he admitted to it,” she recalled. “But then after that scene wrapped, he said, ‘Why did you say that? Why did you say that on camera? You made me look bad.’ I was like, ‘Well, because that’s what happened.’”

Leviss added, “He ended up boycotting filming the rest of Scandoval so that he could have editing rights to that scene to take out that specific piece.”

Elsewhere in her interview with the former Real Housewives of New York City star, Leviss — who is officially not returning to the show — claimed that Sandoval was offered a producer role in the upcoming season.

“He’s not technically a producer. He’s been on the series from day one, Season 1,” she began. “I don’t know if I’m even able to disclose this information but he did tell me during negotiations for Season 11 that he was offered a producer credit for Season 11. So I think he was being rewarded for the Scandoval of it all.”

However, Bravo released a statement to Entertainment Tonight denying Leviss’ claims that Sandoval was offered the opportunity to be a producer or that he was given a say in the Season 10 finale’s final edit.

“Tom Sandoval was never offered a producer credit on Season 11 and had absolutely no creative control over editing during any season of Vanderpump Rules,” a Bravo spokesperson told the outlet.
