Most Vanderpump Rules fans did not know that Raquel Leviss was named Rachel at birth. It all came to light from the fallout of Raquel’s affair with Tom Sandoval. The former beauty pageant queen filed a temporary restraining order against her co-star Scheana Shay. In those documents, James Kennedy’s ex-fiance used her legal name, Rachel. Rachel Leviss.
And it seems denying her stage name is being weaponized. A bit of a slap down, if you will. Or a reality check perhaps.
Scheana’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani, never missed an opportunity to call the VPR jezebel “Rachel” in his statements to the press. And there have been quite a few of those.
Peter Madigral is one of Raquel’s co-stars that refuses to use her stage name as of late. He was jilted by the infamous beauty after she went on two dates, then dumped him. She also called him a “starting pony” during an interview. She’s Rachel to him now.
But the name game doesn’t end there. It turns out, Raquel went by another alias after she started sleeping with Sandoval behind Ariana Madix’s back. TMZ reported that it was all sly Sandoval’s idea. His lover, whatever you want to call her, went along with it.
The illicit couple decided to assign different names to each other for the sake of their phone conversations. So what “most extra” name did Sandoval give his lady love? Was it something dramatic? Perhaps he went for some sort of sequin-evoking alias?
Nope. For their interactions, Raquel became “Jamie.” Sandoval was basic for once. The news outlet reported that some in their friend group knew about the fake names. And on a few occasions, the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner slipped up and called Raquel “Jamie” in public. Yikes!
It’s anyone’s guess what Raquel would have come up with for Sandoval. TMZ did not find out what Sandoval’s alias was.
This tidbit of information seemingly contradicts Sandoval’s claim that Ariana knowingly “turned a blind eye” to his indiscretions. And if he broke up with her prior to her finding a sexually explicit video of Raquel/Jamie on his phone, why bother to hide it? He had no problem smacking Raquel’s bottom on camera, so why the secrecy?
Here’s a theory. Sandoval and Raquel were more into role-playing. Flying under the radar and sparing Ariana some humiliation could have been a secondary concern.
