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.”

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.”
