According to new sources, Rachel Lewis replaced her PR team, and she hopes to create that “narrative.” Tom Sandoval taking advantage of her during the relationship reported in the middle of the relationship with Ariana Madix.
Vanderpump Rules behind the scenes Lala Kentrung, Katie Maloneyand Christian Doute slammed Raquel over the allegations when a fan showed her alleged documentation that Raquel’s real name was “Rachel”.
In a @deuxmoi post shared by @bestofbravo, a source alleged Raquel “fired her PR,” which happens to be the same team representing Sandoval.
“Her new team has attacked, creating a narrative that Raquel is also a victim in all of this. When she filmed with Sandoval later today, she has been advised (and plans) to break up with him,” said the source. “TBD if that happens.”
“The plan will follow him to screen-record a FaceTime sex session without Raquel’s consent, which Ariana finds on Sandoval’s phone and causes the events to unravel. He plans to say that Sandoval took advantage of Raquel when she was in a vulnerable moment, made his decision, and then recorded intimate videos without their knowledge,” the source continued.
He also said that Raquel will participate in the “apology tour”, although she is more concerned with “correcting the ‘finger banging’ video footage than taking responsibility.”
“And just for the record, she did not have this idea, or a plan to distance herself from Sandoval, until her new PR relayed a strategy to try and save her image,” said the source.
After sharing the report, Kristen wrote, “He didn’t apologize. Disgusting.”
Lala also addressed the allegations, speculating that Raquel’s team was trying to make her look “stupid”. He added that such a strategy would not “work.”
