Rachel Leviss MOCKS Ariana Madix After At Music Festival!
Rachel “Raquel” Leviss made a striking appearance at the Stagecoach festival, notably wearing the same top Ariana Madix wore during an episode of Vanderpump Rules. Many fans accused Rachel of maliciously taunting Ariana.
The relationship between Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval ended in March 2023 after nine years together, following her discovery of his affair with Rachel Leviss. The scandal, widely referred to as ‘Scandoval,’ led to an intense public backlash against Leviss. The severity of the criticism ultimately prompted her to leave Vanderpump Rules and seek refuge in a mental health facility, where she spent two months addressing the fallout from the controversy.
She is now in public eye, doing modeling gigs, attending red carpets, and came out with a podcast, “Rachel Goes Rogue.”
This past Friday, Rachel Leviss was spotted in the Coachella Valley at the Stagecoach country music festival, coinciding with a performance by her ex, DJ James Kennedy.
Rachel made a notable fashion choice by wearing a cowgirl chic burnt-orange crop top, which Ariana Madix previously wore during Season 10, Episode 14 of “Vanderpump Rules.” Notably, this was the same time the affair was going on.
Rachel Leviss took to Instagram this Friday, sharing multiple stories of herself donning a distinctive burnt-orange crop top while enjoying time with friends near the Stagecoach country music festival. Her posts included a lengthy selfie video, giving her over half a million followers an up-close view of the top.
Vanderpump Rules fans quickly recognized the blouse as identical to one worn by Ariana Madix in the 14th episode of “Vanderpump Rules” Season 10. At the time of that episode, Ariana was unaware of the ongoing affair between her then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval and Rachel, who was not only a co-star but also a personal friend.
One fan said, “When her and Tom had their little sleep overs I wonder if she was stealing her clothes..”
Another fan shared, “She wants to be Ariana so bad.”
One fan commented, “Rachel is just embarrassing herself. Why would you wear the same top as her?”
In a episode of the “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast, Juliette (Rachel’s publicist) shared her insights on Rachel Leviss’s seven-month affair with Tom Sandoval, offering a controversial yet firm stance on the matter. “My theory is not going to be a popular one, but I stand by it, and I will go to my grave believing it,” Juliette declared. She praised the investigative prowess of the “Bravo sleuths,” acknowledging that women are generally adept at uncovering secrets.
Juliette continued to elaborate on her theory, suggesting that Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval’s then-girlfriend, must have had access to Sandoval’s phone, which could have potentially alerted her to the affair earlier. “If I think my husband is cheating, I can walk right over to his side of the bed when he’s asleep and can check his phone because clearly, she had his password. When you drop your phone, it doesn’t unlock, so she had to unlock it,” she explained.
Juliette’s commentary on the “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast is not the first instance where fans have speculated that the split between Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix on “Vanderpump Rules” might have been staged for television. During a May 2023 appearance on “The View,” Ariana Madix addressed these rumors directly, expressing her frustration with such claims. “That’s not true,” she asserted. “First of all, it’s very real … I find that to be very insulting to me personally.” Madix said. She also added, “It’s as though our collective pain didn’t mean anything,” she added, highlighting the broader impact of their split.
Further insights into the dynamics among the cast were provided by one of the show’s producers during an interview about the editing of the show’s ninth season. She observed a pattern in Tom Sandoval’s behavior, indicating a desire to be more socially active than Ariana preferred. “As we were putting together the season, what we started to see very clearly was Tom wanting to be out in the world way more often than Ariana did. And the people he was going out in the world with were [Tom] Schwartz and Rachel. I thought that she might have a crush on him,” the producer revealed.
Despite stepping away from the limelight after the “Vanderpump Rules” reunion, Rachel Leviss continues to receive accolades from the network. “We still very much love her,” executive producer Sheonna Mix stated at BravoCon 2023, affirming Bravo’s ongoing support for the former pageant queen.
Vanderpump Rules airs on Tuesdays, at 8pm ET, on Bravo.
