Raquel Leviss reveals the place she stands amid scandal with Tom Sandoval

Are Rachel Leviss And Tom Sandoval officially a couple? Not so fast…

A day after the Vanderpump Rules star broke her silence, she was accused of a months-long affair with Tom that led to his split from his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix– the 28-year-old talks about the way they are today.

“Aside from the untenable circumstances of our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been genuine and born out of a loving friendship,” she tells E! News in a statement. “Knowing how many people we’ve hurt, I need to understand my choices and learn to make better ones.”

As Raquel stated, she vows to focus on herself first and foremost.

“I need to take care of my health, work on my self-growth, and make time to deal with being alone,” she continued. “I care for Tom and I don’t want to label or predict what’s ahead. Right now I have to heal.”
