Just when we thought Raquel Leviss couldn’t get any worse for her part in Scandoval, the disgraced Vanderpump Rules star showed little remorse for her actions during Wednesday night’s (May 17) season finale.
In a scene involving Leviss and Tom Sandoval that was cringe beyond cringe, the Sur waitress was all smiles as she explained to cameras why she sparked a relationship with her best friend Ariana Madix‘s (now former) boyfriend of nine years.
“I was just so curious to know what it would be like to be physical with someone that you love,” she said in her confessional. “Because I already knew that I loved him as a friend. And I’ve never had sex like that before.”
She continued, “I should’ve, like, completely removed myself from the situation. But I did not have the willpower to not see him.”
Things were even more awkward back at Leviss’s apartment as the duo embraced one another and toasted shots to “being in Hell.” Sandoval even accidentally referred to Leviss as Madix at one point.
Speaking of when he was pushing for her and Tom Schwartz to be an item, he recalled telling his friend, “Dude you’re sleeping on Ariana. She’s fucking amazing,” to which Leviss replied, “You just called me Ariana.”
After dimming the lights and professing their love for one another, Leviss expressed her fears about Sandoval potentially doing this to her someday. After all, he also cheated on his ex-girlfriend Kristen Doute with a number of women, including Madix. And during the season finale, he further confessed to hooking up with yet another mystery friend of the group’s while dating the Something About Her owner.
“I feel like I only have you, my parents and my sister to have my best interest at heart,” Leviss said. “Even with you it’s questionable.”
She added, “It’s like, am I really going to put my life on the line for someone that would cheat on someone that they love so much? Because then that makes me think that you would be capable of doing that to me. And I don’t want to get caught up in this whirlwind of a romance where I’m, like, blind to these things.”
In his own confessional, Sandoval told cameras that he “can’t predict the future” when it comes to what might happen with his and Leviss’s relationship. However, he recalled feeling a sense of “hope” when he kissed her.
“I felt like, ‘Wait a minute, you’re not washed up. Your best days are not behind you. Maybe you’re just beginning,'” he said.
Haha.
