Tom Sandoval is not impressed Rachel “Raquel” Leviss‘ exit from Vanderpump Rules and subsequent transition to podcast host. In a preview of the Season 11 reunion released on Wednesday, May 8, Tom, 40, called out his ex-girlfriend to continue discussing the show.
“Looking back, I think she’s a damn coward,” he said in the preview. “I’m sorry to say this and I feel like she’s sitting here preaching to everyone that she’s moving on but she’s still relentlessly talking about me and everyone is just being ridiculous.”
Both Tom and 29-year-old Rachel found themselves in the hot seat when it was revealed they had a months-long affair while filming season 10. Rachel was torn apart by her co-stars over her friendship Ariana Madix while secretly meeting with Tom. She later admitted herself to a psychiatric facility and announced that she would not perform Vanderpump Rules again.
Since leaving the show, Rachel has started her iHeartRadio podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue. The next chapter didn’t impress her former co-stars. “All this nonsense on a podcast and her denigrating everyone – it’s absolutely ridiculous.” Lisa Vanderpump said goodbye. “I’m not listening to it.”

For Lala KentShe hoped Rachel would agree to take part in the show. At the same time, she doesn’t regret being critical of her actions at the end of season 10. “Healing happens over time, and I think if she had come back we would have had a very productive conversation,” she explains. “But I stand behind everything I said at this reunion.”
Since Scandoval made headlines, all parties have entered into new romantic relationships. Ariana, 38, is currently dating Daniel Water while Tom’s girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinsonrecently made her debut with See what’s happening live.
“She’s definitely super amazing and one of the sweetest people,” Tom said while appearing on the “Billie and the Kid” podcast in February. “She works a lot and is very successful. She’s fine. But she’s also really humble and really cool. Just a very nice, considerate person.”
Rachel was recently spotted at the Stagecoach Music Festival with a businessman Matthew Dunn. “It’s a little too early to jump on any labels,” said her publicist. Juliette Harristold Us weekly in April, adding that the two are “friends just getting to know each other.”
