Raquel Leviss Opens Up About Her Past Relationship

Over in West Hollywood, the reality show "Vanderpump Rules" is making headlines as Raquel Leviss, 28, reveals the real story behind her past relationship with Tom Sandoval. In a candid interview with Bethenny Frankel, Raquel admitted that she had low self-esteem at the time, which led her to pursue a relationship with Sandoval, even when she knew he was still dating Ariana, 37.

"Looking back, I see I had low self-worth, and Tom kept telling me he was actively breaking up with [Ariana] 'amicably' for her 'mental health,' which I can now see was magical thinking," Raquel explained. She added, "If you wanted to be with Tom Sandoval so badly, you should have let him know that this tryst, the situation that was going between you and him, goes no further until you know officially that they have broken up."

Mixed Reactions from Cast Members

However, Raquel's interview with Bethenny didn't sit well with some of her fellow cast members. Scheana Shay and Ariana had their own opinions on the matter, particularly regarding Bethenny's claim that her interns earned more than Raquel.

Scheana, 38, confidently asserted, "I know for a fact [how much Raquel made] because she thanked me for getting her with the attorney she was with last season. He was able to negotiate her $19,000 an episode for 19 episodes, that is $361,000."
