LIVE BLOG: Ariana Madix Defends Raquel Leviss, Says She’s ‘Not A Whore’ In ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Clip

Ariana Madix stuck up for Raquel Leviss while she was involved in a covert romance with the reality star’s longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.

During the April 19 episode of Vanderpump Rules, Ariana Madix defends Raquel Leviss after Katie Maloney, 36, called Leviss, 28, “a whore” for making out with her ex-husband, Tom Schwartz.

“Are you guys not friends anymore because of him and Raquel making out?” Sandoval asked Maloney.

“I don’t think it was really like a big deal,” the bar owner continued. “They were just two single people that are decent looking in like Mexico that just decided to make out.”

Katie Maloney, who split from Schwartz last March, fired back — “We’ve had 900 conversations about it and he’s told me a hundred times, ‘I’m not interested in her, Nothing’s ever gonna happen.’ It’s too close to home.”

The reality star went on to say that she would now have to navigate the “aftermath” of her ex’s smooch session with Raquel.

Ariana Madix weighed in after her then-boyfriend acted confused over the situation.  

She said — “Well, they’re not friends anymore, so there’s an aftermath and now it’s going to make it really difficult for her and Raquel to be friends.”

Katie continued to rip into Raquel, calling her co-star a “f**king whore.”

“She’s not a f–king whore,” Sandoval chimed in and Madix agreed, remarking — “She’s not a whore. She does not get paid by anyone to do anything.”

Maloney quipped — “Well, then she should because she’s acting like one.”

Madix had no idea at the time that Sandoval and Leviss were embroiled in a secret affair. Fans know that Madix discovered the truth after a sexually explicit video of Leviss popped up on her ex’s phone, on March 1. The actress immediately dumped the musician, whom she had been dating for nearly a decade.

Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have reportedly put their romance on hold, despite having been seen together on multiple occasions.  

As reported, the reality star had checked into a facility to receive mental health treatment amid the fallout. 

Per Raquel’s rep — “Raquel and her family decided months before the relationship was discovered that she needed mental health treatment and ultimately decided she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling.”

Some followers of the drama questioned Raquel’s claim and many believed that the Bravo star was actually luxuriating at an upscale Arizona spa — not seeking help for her admitted issues. 

Earlier this week, Sandoval put Miraval Resorts on blast for hinting that he was staying at the Arizona branch resort while Leviss underwent mental health counseling. 

“I’m beyond disappointed in @MiravalResorts @MiravalArizona and their decision to post to their Instagram account this past weekend alluding to me staying there this week,” Sandoval, 40, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, April 17. “They claim to be a refuge for wellness and betterment. But that is obviously false. They’d rather feed into the negativity and spectacle that has engulfed my life.”

“In a continuous effort to be healthy and work on myself, I planned a trip to go there completely alone to try to find some peace. Miraval clearly isn’t the place for that,” Sandoval continued. “Special shout-out to the general manager who refuses to take any responsibility for the actions of his team even though he considered the post ‘in poor taste.’ Regardless of where you stand in all this, we all deserve the chance to work to be better.”

Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesday nights, at 9pm EST, on Bravo.
