Friend details how reality star discovered boyfriend’s sex video with co-star: ‘He felt like he had to look at his cell phone’ | celebrities

Some people claim to have a keen intuition, and this seems to be the case for Ariana Madix (37 years old), star of the North American reality show ‘Vanderpump Rules’.

She had been dating Tom Sandoval (40 years old), her co-star for 10 years – and found out earlier this month that he was cheating on her with another participant in the program, Raquel Leviss (28 years old). The case became a sex scandal in the US and has already had some consequences.

On her podcast ‘Sex, Love and What Else Matters’ [via Page Six], Kristen Doute, who is also part of the cast of the same reality, detailed the exact moment when Ariana discovered her boyfriend’s betrayal. She was with Ariana at a nightclub watching Tom Sandoval’s band perform.

“It just rang, and we all got up to talk and get a drink,” she recalls, before revealing that her friend had disappeared: “Suddenly, I realize Ariana is gone – it must have been like 20 minutes or so – because she left her coat and purse.”

That’s when the betrayal came to light. “So what happened is, during Tom’s performance, his cell phone fell out of his pocket and a mutual friend of theirs picked up the phone and handed it to Ariana,” she continued. “The truth is, Ariana had his phone and she told me she had the intuition to look at it,” explained the friend, who also said that Ariana “felt like she needed to look.”

Sources tell Page Six that Grande found a clip of a video call of Raquel Leviss masturbating with Tom Sandoval. “She is not well”, said the friend about the situation of the betrayed woman: “she is in shock and sad”.

On the networks, it is not difficult to find photos of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss together supposedly as friends until then.

Now, Raquel says the video was recorded without her consent and has sent a court notice prohibiting all participants from storing and sharing the clip that caused all the bullshit. “Non-consensual pornography,” said the letter sent by her lawyers.

On Thursday (9), Raquel formalized a complaint against Scheana Shay – another star of the program’s cast -, who would have punched her in the face during a “heated confrontation” that had the extramarital affair as its theme. She shared pictures of how her face would have looked after the attacks.

The alleged attacker denied the allegations. “This whole affair is the fabrication of a known liar and cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her. Scheana never punched Rachel, period,” said the famous lawyer in question.

Raquel issued a public apology on Wednesday, which was the first time she has addressed the scandal. “There is no excuse. I am not a victim and I must assume my actions, and I deeply regret having hurt Ariana “, he wrote. Sandoval also assumed his mistakes and asked for forgiveness: ′′ I want to apologize to Ariana. I made mistakes, I was selfish and I made reckless decisions that hurt someone that I love. No one deserves to feel this pain in such a traumatic and public way.”
