“Like, he was ready for that scene,” she continued. “And I’m like, ‘Goddamn it! He fooled me!’ Like, I thought he was actually genuinely happy to see me. I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is what it feels like to actually be appreciated and feel like you’re welcomed in a room and feel like somebody wants you there.’ Like, the stark contrast.”
At the time they first got physical, Leviss said Sandoval was the only castmember she felt she could turn to amid her drama with Katie Maloney and Lala Kent.
“This person actually cares about me and he’s down to hear my side of the story,” she explained. “The only person I could see was him and nobody else. And he was actually listening to me and understanding the situations I was in [where] producers were intervening and telling me to say certain things that I normally wouldn’t actually say. And he understood that, like he had been there before.”
Despite her latest claims, Sandoval recently revealed he and Leviss were much more than just a fling.
“We were best friends,” the 40-year-old lamented last month on the Two T’s in a Pod podcast.. “It’s heartbreaking to go through. I was fully in love with her. She’s not just some hot girl. I was a model for 15 years, it’s deeper than that.”
See the fallout from their affair continue when Vanderpump Rules returns tonight, Jan. 30, at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
