Paige DeSorbo recounted a story about Raquel Leviss at Hannah Berner and Des Bishop’s wedding, reflecting on how her past interactions with the Vanderpump Rules star now have a different meaning in a post-Scandoval world. During a recent “Giggly Squad” podcast live show, the 30-year-old Summer House star, who has been dating Craig Conover since summer 2021, shared her observations of Raquel leaving the dance floor to approach Craig at the bar. Despite others around her insisting that Raquel was sweet and trustworthy, Paige couldn't shake off her suspicion and vocalized her lack of trust to those present.

Raquel, 28, was a guest at the May 2022 wedding as the date of Shahs of Sunset alum Nema Vand, long before her secret tryst with Tom Sandoval in August of the same year. Despite Sandoval's claims that they had a brief break before rekindling their romance in January, Raquel eventually admitted that their affair had never truly ended. While the BFFs acknowledged Raquel's pleasant demeanor, Hannah, 31, likened her to a wounded bird.

Raquel expressed the importance of honesty, admitting to her past deceitful behavior and her desire to stop lying. Despite the fact that the truth has been revealed, she still finds herself having to fabricate certain details regarding the timeline. According to Raquel in part 3 of the Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sandoval believes it would be less painful to suggest that the affair did not last as long. Raquel confirmed that the infidelity continued after they finished filming in September 2022, although she couldn't recall the frequency. The second time it occurred was during Scheana Shay's wedding in Mexico.

She further admitted to sleeping with Sandoval while Ariana — who learned of the affair in March — was out of town at her grandma’s funeral.

Raquel expressed her anguish, stating that she understands why Tom felt the need to lie. However, she acknowledged that hooking up with someone's boyfriend in their own home while they are out of town, especially during a funeral, is a terrible act. Her emotions were evident as she tearfully admitted that the situation has taken a toll on her soul. Raquel expressed her disdain for dishonesty, stating that she despises being deceitful as it is a terrible thing to do.

Paige and Hannah, meanwhile, questioned why Sandoval wasn’t by his girlfriend’s side as she mourned.

“Why wasn’t Sandoval at the funeral?” Paige asked in the aforementioned clip.

Hannah added, “The whole thing is wild.”
