Raquel Leviss didn’t hold back in a bombshell new interview in which she detailed how her affair with Tom Sandoval began, that Scheana Shay allegedly left her with a permanent scar, and that her apology to Ariana Madix was not accepted.

After touching down in Los Angeles following a trip to Tucson, Arizona, the 28-year-old reality star is ‘holding up well’ and is ‘hanging in’.

While she claimed her face has mostly cleared up, she claimed her co-star, 37, left her with a “permanent scar” on her eyebrow.

“I’m hanging in there,” she said, before noting that she “takes responsibility” for her actions and is “completely prepared to do so.”

She went on to say that she and Ariana Madix had “talked on the phone” and that she “apologized to her via text, but she didn’t take it very well.”

When asked by a photographer what Madix said, Leviss sheepishly replied: “I’d rather not say.”

The television personality then detailed how her and Sandoval’s relationship began, behind Madix’s back, after it “started out as a friendship and turned into something more.”

As for whether her kiss with Sandoval’s best friend and business partner Tom Schwartz was a “cover up” of their affair, Leviss stated that he shut down that fan theory.

‘No, I was really interested in Tom Schwartz. There is a genuine curiosity there. It was not a cover-up,” he said.

Now that his infidelity has been exposed and the nine-year affair with Madix has ended, Leviss said she doesn’t “know where” their relationship is “going.”

“We’re just trying to take the next steps, make amends and listen to everyone,” the former pageant queen said.

Leviss also noted that she had been “advised to take time off social media” and understands that my actions have consequences as she navigates an overwhelming amount of negative reaction online.
