Rachel Leviss: I gave Tom Sandoval a house key — but he didn’t use it

nypost.com:

dropped on Tuesday, the reality star formerly known as Raquel revealed that she gave Tom Sandoval a key to her apartment in the fallout of last year’s “Scandoval.”The moniker was coined in March 2023 when “Vanderpump Rules” stars Leviss and Sandoval were caught in an affair that had been going on for months.

Sandoval was then in a nearly-decade-long relationship with “Vanderpump” co-star Ariana Madix.Leviss has stayed out of the limelight recently in an attempt to move on from the scandal, but on “Just B,” she dished so much drama that listeners’ cup runneth over.Leviss revealed that she gave Sandoval a key to her apartment while she was staying at a mental health facility so that he could escape the arctic climate of an apartment shared with an ex.

But, as of now, Sandoval and Madix are still sharing their LA home.“People are confused as to why they’re still living together,” Leviss said. “I actually gave Tom [Sandoval] the key to my apartment while I was away at the Meadows [mental health facility], and he had a free place to stay and chose to stay in the house with Ariana [Madix].”Leviss went on to say that she views Madix and Sandoval’s continual cohabitation as a product of habit. “I don’t know their situation, but I do know that it really isn’t that surprising that they’re living together in my eyes because it’s been this way,” she said. “They haven’t been an authentic couple, romantic, intimate.”In the same interview, Leviss challenged her status as the “ultimate villain” in the scandalous scenario.
