Following the alleged revelation of an affair between Vanderpump Rules cast members Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss , keen-eyed online investigators have unearthed some suspicious behavior between the pair that had previously gone unnoticed.
Fans Find Out Suspicious Details
TMZ reports that Ariana Madix ended her relationship with Tom after allegedly learning about the affair, which is said to have started in the summer of last year. As a result of this disclosure, some individuals have delved deeper into Tom and Raquel’s past interactions and have made some startling discoveries.
Sandoval Dressed as Leviss For Halloween
It has come to light that Tom Sandoval, accused of having an affair with fellow Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss, dressed up as her for Halloween in October 2022. This was allegedly when he was hooking up with Leviss before his split from his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix.
Sandoval’s Costume
During the Halloween party, Sandoval donned a TomTom sweatshirt, a blonde wig, and sunglasses to mimic Leviss’ appearance. Leviss jokingly filmed a video of Sandoval in costume and posted it on her social media, saying, “Guys, look who I ran into. It’s Raquel from BravoCon day 3! Oh, my God. Wow, Raquel, I can’t believe you would frickin’ wear that sweatshirt.”
Sandoval later shared the same video on his social media, adding, “Raquel has got to stop showing up to TomTom it’s embarrassing.”
Story Behind The Costume
The costume was a nod to a social media feud between Leviss and Katie Maloney, who had criticized Leviss for wearing a TomTom hoodie. TomTom is a restaurant co-founded by Sandoval and Maloney’s former husband, Tom Schwartz.
