Lisa Vanderpump Forced To Cut Ties With Raquel Leviss Amid Scandoval Crisis

Lisa Vanderpump Forced To Cut Ties With Raquel Leviss Amid Scandoval Crisis

Raquel Leviss was deleted from SUR’s homepage earlier this week, only weeks after her months-long affair with Tom Sandoval was exposed.

Fans called out Raquel Leviss’ image on the restaurant’s website after a resurfaced interview featured the Vanderpump Rules star gushing over her friendship with Sandoval’s ex, Ariana Madix. Raquel also praised Sandoval as “a really great guy” in the summer of 2022 interview. 

Shortly thereafter, Raquel’s photo was scrubbed from the eatery’s website.

A Pump Rules fan page dished the update on Instagram. 

“Omg. NOT Rachel being on SUR’s homepage lmao,” the message read, set against a photo of Raquel in her SUR uniform.

The same account noted that two separate photos of Raquel had been erased from SUR’s homepage. 

The account announced — “Update – Both pics of Raquel have been removed from the homepage slideshow on SUR’s website.” 

The update included a message from a fan who noticed the speedy social media response. 

The person wrote — “They literally changed it within 20 [hours] of this post … She’s not on there anymore.”

Raquel spoke about Sandoval, 40, and his then-girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, while attending the soft opening of Schwartz & Sandy’s, last July.

“I’ve gotten really close with [Scheana Shay] and Ariana and Tom Sandoval as well,” Raquel told E! News. “I feel like he’s become one of my best friends lately.”

The reality star was asked to share what she loved most about Sandoval, after she revealed that the pair had grown close while filming Vanderpump Rules.

“He just is so in touch with himself and is fully accepting of who he is and is so confident,” she said. “I don’t know. I feel like he looks at me like a little sister and he’s supporting me in a very kind way that I really, yeah.”

She added — “He’s a really great guy.”

Raquel and the musician were busted in a secret affair eight months later. Sandoval had been in a monogamous relationship with Scheana Shay’s bestie, Ariana Madix, for nine years when news of the cheating scandal broke. Madix dumped Sandoval when she realized that the pair had been “communicating inappropriately for months.”

“He [Sandoval] wants to make it work with Raquel,” a tipster told Page Six, as the scandal exploded. “But he knows the odds are stacked against them as a couple.”

Sandoval and Leviss went out to dinner at Hollywood restaurant, The Musso & Frank Grill, after the cast gathered for what reportedly proved to be  an explosive Season 10 reunion. 

Ariana Madix declared that she had no interest in keeping up with the duo’s relationship, last week. 

“I don’t know what they do,” the 37-year-old said in a video obtained by Page Six, when asked about Sandoval and Leviss’ post-reunion dinner date. 

She added — “At this point, I don’t care about anything that either of them does.”

Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
