Rachel “Raquel” Leviss can see why fans criticized her interview with Bethenny Frankel, during which the now-former “Vanderpump Rules” star discussed her highly publicized affair with Tom Sandoval at length.
Leviss and Sandoval carried on a secret romance for at least seven months before his long-term girlfriend at the time, Ariana Madix, found out about it in early March.
In a recent episode of the “Bravo Tea with Jared B” podcast, the namesake host called out Leviss, 28, for telling Frankel that she wouldn’t have pursued Sandoval, 41, if she felt there was longevity to his relationship with Madix, 38.
“This is a weird thing to admit because she’s saying she knew this wasn’t a real relationship or a relationship that had legs, so that’s why she decided to participate in this affair,” Jared told his listeners, pointing out that it made the former beauty pageant queen look “mad crazy.”
