Would you believe that she’s a victim of her own affair?
The “Vanderpump Rules” star Raquel Leviss has been in multiple headlines for days now after her affair with co-star Tom Sandoval was exposed, knowing that Tom was in a relationship with Ariana Madix then.
Obviously, those headlines are not good as she has been labeled multiple things ever since their affair scandal came to light. With that, her reputation has been tainted, and she needs a strategy to save her image somehow.
However, Raquel’s PR team doesn’t seem to be doing an excellent job with that, which led to her allegedly firing them to hire a new one, who, in fact, came up with a strategy that involves making her appear as a victim in this whole affair scandal with Sandoval.
In a source acquired by Sandoval’s former ex-girlfriend before Ariana, Kristen Doute, in which she also posted on her Instagram stories, it was explained how Raquel’s new PR Team would save her image, with the message’s subject, “Beauty Queen in Crisis Mode.”
“Raquel fired her PR team yesterday, which not so coincidentally was the same as Tom Sandoval’s PR. Her new team is already on the offensive, crafting a narrative that Raquel is also a victim in all of this,” the source’s statement began.
“When she films with Sandoval later today, she’s been advised (and is planning) to break things off with him. TBD [to be determined] if that happens.”
The insider continued by saying that the strategy is to accuse Sandoval of “secretly filming a FaceTime sex session without Raquel’s knowledge,” which Ariana then discovered on Sandoval’s phone and kicked off the whole affair.
“They’re planning to allege that Sandoval took advantage of Raquel while she was in a vulnerable moment in life, clouding her judgment, then recording intimate videos without her knowledge,” the source added.
In addition, it was intended that she would take part in an apology tour in which she would express her shock at the events that had occurred and remorse over betraying Ariana and even name her as one of her best friends.
“At present, Raquel is not taking responsibility for her role in this affair. She’s more concerned with correcting the record on the “finger banging” vid than taking accountability for the hurt she has caused.”
The statement concluded by emphasizing that before her new PR revealed how they intended to try to rescue her reputation, Raquel had neither of these ideas nor any intentions to distance herself from Sandoval. Kristen then captioned her Instagram story, which includes the screenshot of the overall plan, “she’s not even slightly sorry. disgusting.”
Raquel’s overall new PR team strategy revelations come after Sandoval breaks his silence and releases a statement of his own, in which he also appears not feeling sorry about what they did to Ariana. Instead, both are more concerned with their own selves and reputation. For Raquel, it was her image, and for Sandoval, it was his new bar.
As a matter of fact, for Sandoval’s part, based on how his statement was written on his Instagram post posted Saturday night, it seems like other people urged him to speak out because it is affecting his family and his business. But he did not choose to speak out and address the affair or show any remorse.
As we previously reported, Tom and Raquel had been having an affair for several months before the infidelity scandal became public. And despite Tom’s long-term romance with Ariana, they apparently want to be together.
It was also reported that Ariana learned of the alleged infidelity on Wednesday last week in Los Angeles while she was at Tom’s performance with his band.
Aside from Kristen coming to defend Ariana, another friend of theirs, Scheana Shay, allegedly gave Raquel a “black-eye” after their heated confrontation as they were having drinks, which was also the same time she knew about Raquel’s affair with Tom. Not only that, but Kristen, Scheana, and Katie Maloney went to Ariana’s house recently and rushed to be by her side as well.
As of this writing, Sandoval remains the only person so far who released a statement, even if it’s in no connection with the affair. Ariana and Raquel didn’t address it yet despite multiple news outlets’ requests for comment. On the other hand, Jeremy Madix, the brother of Ariana, and James Kennedy, the ex-fiance of Raquel, have all spoken about this ugly drama.

If this is true, she should fire her new PR team as well. Terrible recommendation and nobody will buy it.
