Tom Sandovalhas continued to face the wrath ofRachel Leviss, but now it isVanderpump Rules’ turn. The formerreality starhas put Sandoval and the show on blast, amid the lawsuit. Fans know thatLeviss has recently sued Sandoval and former friendAriana Madixfor revenge porn, which both of them, particularly Madix,denied her claims. Leviss’ lawyers continue to attack Sandoval, and now Leviss has something to say.
Reality Blurbreports that TheVanderpump Rulesreunion saw Sandoval claim that Leviss took off her clothes and jumped into his poolat the start of the affair. Leviss said, “That may be true, although I didn’t take off all of my clothes.” She referred to his other claim that she wasn’t groomed, and said, “I’m talking about the moments leading up to that point [at the pool].There was intention behind the way Tom really gave me undivided attention to want to know my situation and what was happening in my reality. Things were a little bit blurry, and it was a gradual thing that took place where I started feeling more attracted to him.”
Leviss is not saying that Sandoval “groomed” her. Leviss does take responsibility for what went down between them. However, “there is a big age gap.” “He also is aware of my situation and I knew that I was very vulnerable,” she said, “And come on, Tom is a manipulative person.”
But it is not just Tom that “groomed” her in general, as she says. She takes a shot atVanderpump Rulesin general. She suggested that the show should alsotake some responsibilityby saying that the show also “groomed” her to be okay with his behavior. The behavior has “been modeled for me time and time again with previous relationships on the show,” she said, before citing multiple instances of past infidelity between the Vanderpump Rules castmates that was “normalized” and was a “factor” in Leviss’ decision making.
