Raquel Leviss opened up about her affair with Tom Sandoval in an interview with Bethenny Frankel.
Frankel asked her about her feelings for Tom…Raquel says she was in love with him.
“I believed I was in love with Tom at the time. I now look back on it and see that I was not in love with him,” she shared. “I also don’t believe that he truly was in love with me either. We had this connection that I felt seen and heard by him that I haven’t really had with other people on the cast, nor people in my real life. So it was like, I was filming in a tumultuous environment. I was needing some validation and somebody to hear what I was going through and here comes along Tom who really gave me that time of day to share my side of the story in a non-judgment zone and that’s exactly what I needed in that moment.”
Raquel also denied she and Raquel were as close as people made out.
“No. Not just us together. That is the narrative that is being written for me. It is more salacious in that way. Ariana and I were not best friends. We were acquaintances who became friends through the show,” she said, adding that they didn’t really hang out off camera.
