Lisa Vanderpump is calling out Rachel “Raquel” Leviss for her role in Scandavol after the latter sued Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix in part over a racy video allegedly recorded and shared without her consent.
“That’s ridiculous,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 63, told TMZ Friday in response to Leviss filing the revenge porn lawsuit.
