Raquel Leviss Truly Desired Ariana Madix

Did Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss really desire her castmate and best friend Ariana Madix? Though Leviss had an affair with Madix’s longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, it may not have been him she actually wanted. So, where does this allegation come from and why did it start? Read on for more details.

Raquel Leviss Truly Desired Ariana Madix

At the end of the Season 10 reunion, Raquel Leviss gave her last confessional. She shared that, during her affair with Tom Sandoval, she would do anything. It came to a point where she admitted that she proposed a throuple situation with him and his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix. Raquel said that she was in love with Tom and since she was so close to Ariana, it made sense. Of course, Tom shot that down and they carried on for seven months. Then, Ariana caught them while checking Tom’s phone and the rest is history. Yet, was it really Ariana that Raquel truly desired over Tom?

According to Page Six, someone from Raquel Leviss’ past is seemingly confirming that it was always Ariana who she preferred. After Raquel and James Kennedy called off their engagement, she tried dating different men. Raquel dated her SUR manager Peter Madrigal and kissed Tom Schwartz. She also had a fling with Nema Vand from Shahs of Sunset. He alleges that she told him Sandoval and Ariana had an open relationship. This was a rumor that circulated toward the end of Season 10 and Scheana Shay cleared it up in the finale.

Sandoval had apparently told Raquel his relationship was open and that’s how it circulated.  Nema asked Leviss: “I was like, ‘Oh, would you ever do that like would you ever consider that?’ And she’s like, ‘No no no I would never.’ She’s like, ‘I would hook up with Ariana though, I wouldn’t hook up with Tom.'” He shared this detail on Scheana’s podcast, Scheananigans. Whether or not she was just saying this to throw off the scent is unknown.

The Truth

However, Nema Vand did say that Raquel Leviss did not believe Tom Sandoval was in an open relationship and was just “planting the seed.” As for Ariana Madix, she is openly bisexual and has hooked up with her castmate, Lala Kent in the past. Yet, it is unclear if Raquel is interested in pursuing something with someone of the same sex. She does plan on speaking out even more when she exits the mental health facility she is currently in.
