Vanderpump Rules wrapped up a dramatic season Wednesday with an explosive three-episode reunion finale that was one shocking revelation after another with plenty of tears and insults. .
But perhaps nothing was more shocking than the bomb dropped during Raquel Reavis’ final interview, filmed six days after the reunion taping.
“I think it’s important to me to tell the truth,” Raquel told producers. “I think I’ve been lying and deceptive all my life, so I don’t want to lie anymore and it’s all just coming out. I still find myself having to lie about things on the timeline. [Sandoval] It feels less hurtful to say that this didn’t last very long. [But] The second time was actually in Mexico [at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ August 2022 wedding]”
Raquel said they became intimate after finding Tom “drunk trying to find his room” in a hotel hallway, and that they had been physically intimate “many times” in Mexico.
Of course, this doesn’t match Revis and Sandoval’s insistence during their reunion that they only had sex once.
