Rachel Leviss is certainly having her say regarding ex-lover Tom Sandoval. If you thought that Rachel Goes Rogue would be a short-lived podcast, consider how much she has yet to discuss. And it turns out the former Vanderpump Rules star has a lot to say, and she’s had time to reach a certain degree of clarity.
One topic of her most recent podcast episode had to do with the incentive for Sandoval to use their affair to further the longevity of Vanderpump Rules. Because Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras isn’t paying the bills. The highlight of it all was a shady comment regarding his age. Bravo, Ms. Leviss.
“The show equals longevity,” Rachel said of Tom’s career
“I definitely didn’t mastermind this [affair]. I think I fell into this situation and just didn’t know how to handle it,” Rachel said during her podcast. “The thought has crossed my mind. Like, Did Tom mastermind this? He is known to self-produce, and all he has is this show.”
The former beauty pageant contestant has repeatedly made statements about Sandoval masterminding their hookup. If nothing about their time together brings up fuzzy feelings, perhaps there is something to what Rachel is saying.
She added that “the success of the show equals longevity in his career.” Where’s his next paycheck coming from?
“He’s over 40 now, and this is his life, this is his main income,” Rachel said.
It’s very telling that Sandoval often speculated as to how the public would react to the affair, and how they could use their affair for screen time.
“When we did have conversations like, ‘How is this going to play out?’” “He said, ‘One of the pros is we can be together next season,’” Rachel revealed. “And so, not to say he’s the mastermind behind it. I think he had his motivation behind it that really escalated the situation. Whereas if it wasn’t a reality TV show and we weren’t all filming, I don’t know if it would be like this.”
It’s become more common for viewers to speculate that their favorite reality TV stars are changing their personal situation for ratings.
