The finality of it all. Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay already cut Raquel Leviss out of her life when it emerged that she was having an affair with Tom Sandoval. But now she has taken more visible action.
Page Six reported that Scheana edited Raquel out of her wedding photos. And in a sly dig at the former beauty pageant contestant, replaced her face with that of her nemesis, Lala Kent.
“I decided to edit all my wedding photos and put Lala [Kent]’s face on Raquel’s,” Scheana revealed while on the Undressed with Pol’ and Patrik podcast. She continued, “I had to. I don’t want that bitch in my photos.”
It was a stroke of misfortune that both Raquel and Sandoval were included in the bridal party. Charlie Jones functioned as Brock Davies’ best man. Tom Schwartz and the now disgraced Sandoval served as groomsmen. They were flanked by four more of Brock’s friends.
Scheana’s bridesmaids for the August 2022 nuptials in Mexico included Raquel and the jilted Ariana Madix. It seems Raquel and Sandoval shirked their duties to hang out together during the wedding weekend. During an Amazon Live on March 30th, Scheana discussed a “disgusting” memory of the illicit duo from their time in Mexico.
“One of my girlfriends was like, ‘So, I was at the pool the morning of your wedding, and I was just looking back at some of my photos, and there’s literally one with Tom and Raquel in the background in a cabana just hanging out at the pool together,’” Scheana said.
She added, “They knew that Ariana was occupied with me as a good friend and a good bridesmaid, so they took that time to hang out. It’s just so disgusting.”
In other Scandoval news, the man himself appeared on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast. During the “embarrassing” interview, Sandoval revealed that he and Raquel were nurturing their friendship and “taking a break” from sexy times.
The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner revealed, “We’re not putting any label on it. We’re just kind of taking a break.” In a further self-destructive revelation, Sandoval claimed he broke up with Ariana two weeks before she found out about Raquel. He then essentially blamed Ariana for turning a “blind eye” to his cheating. Apparently, he was waving red flags like crazy.
Sandoval explained, “I was seeing Raquel as often as I could — which I know that sounds horrible — and FaceTiming her all the time, and, like, Ariana didn’t even notice because that’s just how separate our lives were.”
“I had to actually tell her, ‘Have you not noticed how distant I’ve been lately?’ And she’s like, ‘Oh, you have?’ … She didn’t even notice because that’s just how our relationship was. We had separate lives,” he added.
The interview certainly didn’t do Sandoval any favors. In fact, Bravo executives were shocked by the interview and there is talk of firing him from VPR. So, will Brock follow suit and remove Sandoval’s image from his groomsmen?
