Oliver allegedly cheated on wife with Raquel Leviss, and she subtly blames her “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Lala Kent
Raquel claims that Lala Kent gave her the impression that Oliver Saunders, 32, was single ahead of their Season 10 make-out session.
Samantha Saunders — the wife of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Garcelle Beauvais’ oldest son, Oliver Saunders — has accused him of cheating on her with Raquel Leviss, among other women.
Samantha took to Instagram Friday to call out her husband for his alleged behavior, claiming she “found out” that he “made out” with the “Vanderpump Rules” star while cameras were rolling for Season 10.
According to Samantha, Oliver — who has been working at Lisa Vanderpump’s Vanderpump à Paris in Las Vegas for the last several months — “plans to continue to go on a date with Raquel while filming.”
“He has committed adultery with coworkers and guests of the restaurant,” she alleged, not naming anyone besides Raquel Leviss, 27.
However, in Raquel's defense, she mentioned that it was Kent’s initial romantic interest in Oliver “100 percent” that led her to believe he was not married to Samantha Saunders, with whom he shares one child.
“I was like, Oh, Lala mentioned meeting him at the Vanderpump [à] Paris opening, and she was saying that she was kind of into him,” the former beauty pageant queen, 28, explained to Danny Murphy on the latest episode of the “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast.
“And that made me think that he was single,” she continued. “There was no thought in my head that he was [not].”
According to Raquel, Oliver told her point blank that he is a single father. “I’m separated from my wife, and I have a child.”
Raquel revealed that she was fascinated by Oliver's “really good personality” and found “the way he spoke about his son” to be “very endearing.”
Raquel recalled thinking to herself that she liked Oliver’s personality. “Huh, I’m kinda into this guy, too.” referring to her then feelings for co-star Tom Schwartz. And then Lala gave me the green light.”
Scheana Shay, who joined Raquel Leviss for the chat, claimed Lala Kent, 32, saw Oliver’s obscure relationship status as “an immediate red flag” and gave Raquel her blessing to “have him.”
In the preview for the upcoming episode, Lala is seen admitting to Leviss that she’s “had a crush on Oliver,” the eldest son of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Garcelle Beauvais, “for a long time.”
Lala adds in a subsequent confessional, “I really don’t give two f–ks who Raquel is making out with, but let’s be real: If this were a competition, I would have won.”
Meanwhile, Shay, believes Raquel was played and “got put in such a bad position” and that the incident was “not her fault”
Samantha—Oliver’s now estranged wife, shares Shay's sentiment about Raquel.
In September 2022, Samantha wrote on her Instagram story saying she does not blame Raquel after the news of the make-out broke. “FYI- I don’t blame Raquel,” she claimed at the time that Oliver also “committed adultery with coworkers and guests of the restaurant.”
Oliver made his case to the Instagram court of law story, saying at the time, “I apologize for my Son's Mother Putting My Business Out There. We Are Getting Divorced.”
Oliver filed for divorce two weeks after he made the post on Instagram.
Oliver Saunders and Samantha tied the knot in May 2022 and began their divorce proceedings in September 2022.
