Raquel Leviss blasted her former “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Tom Sandoval for suggesting they made a “suicide pact” after their affair was exposed.
“He made it seem like we had a suicide pact, like it was some sort of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ love story. That really angered me,” the former beauty queen, 29, said on her “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast Monday.
Leviss was addressing Sandoval’s appearance on a December 2023 episode of “Two Ts in a Pod,” in which he claimed that he had been “on the phone with Rachel and literally debating on f–king killing ourselves.”
The former reality TV star went on to drag Sandoval, 41, for “cross[ing] a boundary” by talking about her “personal, emotional turmoil.”

“It is not OK for somebody else to tell other people that they have expressed feelings of not wanting to live anymore,” Leviss said, adding that his talking about that moment caused her to go into “really deep processing” with her therapist.
“It was like, ‘Whoa, why are you talking about this personal information that was privy to only your ears?'”
She went on to say that her “dark thoughts” were “a vulnerable topic” that she had chosen to share with him before he told “Teddi [Mellencamp] and Tamra [Judge] and whoever else is listening to this popular podcast.”
“Now it’s a topic of conversation,” she pointed out.
Sandoval and Leviss’ lives seemingly imploded when their months-long affair was discovered in March 2023 while he was in a nearly 10-year-long relationship with Ariana Madix.
The “Chicago” star, 38, immediately dumped Sandoval and Leviss checked herself into a “mental health facility.” She and the cover band frontman also split just two months later.
Leviss — who tried to distance herself from the limelight by quitting “VPR” — has since accused Sandoval of “playing the victim.”
“It seemed like he really did flip on me, and he really threw me under the bus, and he was OK with it, and it seemed like he was doing a lot of victim blaming and not taking accountability and owning it and maybe standing up for me a little bit,” she said on her podcast last month.
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
