Raquel Leviss denied claims that her affair with Tom Sandoval started after the pair had a threesome with his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix.
“No that’s not true,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star, 28, told a reporter Wednesday when asked if they had a ménaghe à trois.
The clarification comes after an anonymous source told Deux Moi that “Sandoval, Ariana and Raquel had a threesome and Sandoval continued to pursue Raquel after that.”
The speculation only continued after Tom Schwartz said in the “VPR” mid-season trailer that “open relationships are f—king tough” — despite the former couple denying they had an open relationship before their split.
Leviss also cleared up rumors that she only hooked up with Schwartz, 40, to cover up her months-long affair with Sandoval.
“That’s not true,” she said. “I definitely had an interest in Tom Schwartz and there is a genuine curiosity there so it wasn’t a cover-up.”
To refresh, Schwartz and Leviss made out several times over the summer following his divorce from Katie Maloney.
Yet in light of “Scandoval,” fans found it suspicious that the former beauty pageant queen would hook up with both Toms, leading some to believe Schwartz was being used as a “pawn” in their affair.
However, Leviss clarified that Schwartz did not know about the dalliance until news broke earlier this month that she and Sandoval had been “communicating inappropriately” since July 2022.

Sources told Page Six that Madix broke up with Sandoval after seeing a sexually explicit video of Leviss on her now-ex’s phone, leading the two women to get into a heated exchange over the phone before the beauty queen fessed up to the affair.
Since then, both Sandoval and Leviss issued separate apologies to Madix, who broke her silence a week later saying she is “devastated and broken” about her 10-year relationship coming to an end.
In fact, Leviss claims she tried to contact Madix, 37, multiple times, who didn’t receive the apology “very well.”
With the “VPR” Season 10 reunion set to tape on March 23, Leviss said she knows she “has to take accountability” for her actions and is “completely prepared to do that” during the post-“Scandoval” special.
However, she made it sound like she and Sandoval are still together, but waiting to “put a label on anything” until it all blows over.
“We are just trying to get through these next few steps and trying to make amends and hear everybody out,” Leviss said of their relationship status. “I know a lot of people are angry.”
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
