Raquel Leviss’ On Her Relationship with Ariana Madix
Leviss also cleared up where she stands with Ariana Madix after Scandoval. “I don’t expect her to forgive me. I am remorseful. I do recognize that I’ve caused her a lot of pain.”
“We were acquaintances who became friends through the show. We never had a deep conversation that I would have with a best friend.”
She then expanded on how it affected her friendships with everyone in the cast. “It’s painful to think I hurt her in this way because that wasn’t my intention… I call these people my friends because I really did believe they were my friends.”
Leviss also reacted to how Madix was branded as America’s Sweetheart and gets several brand deals from the situation. “Part of me says, good for you, because take advantage of these opportunities while they come your way.
She explained her reasonings of the affair. “I would not be involved in this affair, secrecy type situation if I thought there was longevity in this relationship between Tom and Ariana,” she said. “The people closest to them can see their relationship has not been what they portray on camera. Tom always told me they’re a brand, they’re an image. … They’re business partners.”
She also explained how she felt in regard to the public reaction, “But it is hurtful to me just to think that — my nature is very kind and forgiving and understanding of other people, so the concept of me being the ultimate reality TV villain just blows my mind… And the way that she spoke to me at the reunion, I feel like it was uncalled for.’
