Rachel Lewis may be preparing to tell all about his controversial relationship with her Tom Sandoval on there taping on Vanderpump Rules reunion. However, after landing in Los Angeles on Wednesday after spending time in Arizona, he gave an unofficial hint.
After being seen sitting outside Blush Nail Bar in Valley Village, where Sandoval and his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix showing the house, Raquel opens up about where she and Sandoval stand, Scheana Shayalleged attack, Lala Kentrungaggressive behavior ‘s, and more.
“[I’m] good… i’m still okay. It’s been a little rough but I’m hanging in there,” Raquel confirmed when he spoke to TMZ on March 22. “I’ve been kinda off social media all together. I have advised you to do so. But there have been many, but I feel that there are consequences for my actions. I didn’t think much of it. So here we are.”
According to Raquel, her romance with Sandoval “started as a friendship” and “became so much more,” which she will detail during the reunion taping. However, when it comes to their current status, the two “pause” as they look to the future.
“I don’t know where our relationship will go,” Raquel admitted. “We’re just trying to go through the next few steps and try to fix it, listen to everybody. I know a lot of people are upset, so I think we’re just going to go through the next few steps and see where it goes. We’re not labeling anything. We’re just taking a break now.”
After announcing her relationship with Sandoval earlier this month, Raquel spoke to Ariana on the phone and apologized via text.
“She didn’t take it well,” Raquel said, laughing as she told photographers she’d rather “not say” what Ariana wrote.
As for Scheana denying her claims about the assault, Raquel, who filed a restraining order against her, said, “Scheana knows what happened that night. I won’t be involved much, but I have a permanent scar on my eyebrow.
As Pump Rules fans know, Tom Schwartz has been accused of being a decoy for Sandoval and Raquel – and knows about Roman before the rest of the word. However, according to Raquel, Schwartz did not know what was going on between her and Sandoval, nor did he use her as a distraction.
“I really have an interest in Tom Schwartz and there’s a genuine curiosity, so it’s not a cover-up,” she said.
Later, after agreeing with the reporter that people don’t “necessarily” attack her, Raquel said that when it comes to Lala, “She’s always aggressive towards me.”
“I think I’ve always kinda rubbed her the wrong way,” she continued.
Also during the interview, after saying that the rumors about the threesome with Sandoval and Ariana “are not true,” Raquel said that she knows that she “has to take responsibility. [her] action” at the reunion.
“I’m ready to finish,” he added.
