“I simply find it amusing. You’re a stupid b*tch, Raquel. The “You’re Gonna Love Me” podcast presenter told the TomTom co-owner that she should not have been here tonight for Lala’s birthday.
In response, Tom said that Katie got “a lot of joy” from disliking 28-year-old Raquel. “Over the years, I’ve seen Katie be a very proactive and vengeful person. He informed the cameras, “She is enjoying this like it’s the greatest Wagyu steak she’s ever tasted.
The beauty pageant competitor dealt with the fallout from her encounter with Oliver Saunders in August 2022 earlier in the episode. The 32-year-old oldest kid of Garcelle Beauvais made news at the time when Samantha Saunders, his ex-wife, claimed they were still married.
In the midst of the turmoil, Tom demonstrated his support for Raquel, which Katie questioned during their debate. The Utah native said, “You get a lot of joy out of Raquel as well,” referencing the ex-husband Tom Schwartz’s relationship with Raquel from the previous episode. “At one in the morning, you all travel to The Abbey.”
When confronted with the allegations, Sandoval said, “Dude, what the f—k are you even saying? Man, get the f—k out of here. Katie most likely learned about the Missouri native’s exclusive excursion with Raquel via Ally Lewber, James Kennedy’s girlfriend.
I was packing up last night at Lala’s condo as we were leaving and chit-chatting. When I said that I had seen Sandoval and Raquel dancing together at The Abbey after the See You Next Tuesday event at SUR, the 27-year-old Bravo rookie confessed. “I personally wouldn’t feel safe having my partner out with females at 1 in the morning. However, every person is unique.
I felt it was a little strange that we were asking, “Where is [Sandoval’s then-girlfriend] Ariana [Madix]?” at one in the morning, she said.
Us Weekly verified in March that Sandoval had an extramarital affair with Raquel before he dumped Ariana, 37. The Florida native defended her almost ten-year relationship with the bar owner before the infidelity scandal after the season 10 teaser hinted that they were having an open relationship.
We don’t have a relationship that is open. I’m not that cool, actually. Madix tweeted in January that he “thought that was obvious.”
The Lifetime actor spoke about her choice to be clean about her personal life a month later. She exclusively told Us in February, “I feel like when you let things fester like that, it sort of just becomes more than it is. “Honestly, if we were, it would be really sexy, but we’re not.”
However, Sandoval has said that as his love for Leviss deepened, he attempted to break up his relationship with Madix. Earlier this month, he said as much on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast. “Like many relationships, it felt like it became more of, like, a best friends, family [thing] — sometimes roommates,” he added. “There were several instances in which the relationship just lacked intimacy and connection. We would go apart more often than we did with one another. I would attend weddings on my own.
The businessman said that following their connection in August 2022, he kept in regular communication with Raquel. “I tried to visit Raquel as often as I could. I am aware of how awful that sounds,” he added. “And constantly FaceTiming her. The distance between our lifestyles meant that Ariana didn’t even notice. How have you not noticed how distant I’ve been lately? I had to really ask her.
Us verified that Raquel entered herself into a mental health treatment center after Sandoval indicated there wasn’t a “label” on their present relationship. On Friday, April 14, a representative for the model released a statement claiming that Raquel was in rehab but wasn’t there for drug addiction problems.
“Raquel and her family decided that she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling before the relationship was discovered,” the representative told Us. “Raquel had intended to come out before the March 23 VPR reunion was recorded. She was supposed to attend the pre-reunion, but she changed her mind since she still had shooting to do. The producers at Bravo were aware of and supportive of her efforts to improve her mental health.
On the popular Bravo show, Raquel and Sandoval’s strong relationship is still under scrutiny. The Missouri native is confronted by Scheana Shay about the allegations going around in their buddy circle in the preview for the program airing the following week.
“You could dismiss this and say it doesn’t matter, but to me, it does. “Katie said, ‘Raquel is now going after Sandoval,'” the 37-year-old “Good as Gold” singer told Sandoval in the sneak peek video.
