Raquel Leviss is doubling down on her claim that Scheana Shay punched her in March – despite dropping the temporary restraining order she obtained against her “Vanderpump Rules” co-star.
“Scheana did physically assault me that night, and I have a permanent scar on my eyebrow,” Leviss alleged on Thursday’s episode of Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, “Just B.”
Leviss’ insistence comes five months after she initially accused Shay, 38, of hitting her upon learning of the former pageant queen’s affair with Tom Sandoval amid his nearly 10-year relationship with Ariana Madix.
“At the moment, I thought I deserved it – that’s why I just stood there and let it happen,” Leviss told Frankel. “She pushed me as hard as she could against a brick wall, the back of my head hit the wall pretty hard, and then she socked me in the eye.”
The “Vanderpump Rules” star claimed that Shay then “threw [her] phone in the street” and called Madix with her own cell, while Leviss retrieved her phone to call Sandoval.
“I … was like, ‘Scheana just punched me in the face,’ and he goes, ‘Oh, I know, I heard her say to Ariana, “I punched that bitch in her face and threw her phone in the street,”‘” Leviss alleged.
The 28-year-old went on to call Shay “nuts” for calling her a “liar and a cheat” who “completely fabricated this assault.”
The embattled Bravolebrity also claimed that she filed the restraining order because she “didn’t feel safe” after Shay used a punching emoji in an Instagram caption following the alleged altercation.
“Always got your back!
