Stassi Schroeder: Raquel Leviss, Tom Schwartz’s kiss was ‘cover-up’ for affair
Stassi Schroeder has entered the chat.
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum believes Raquel Leviss and Tom Schwartz’s kissing storyline on Season 10 of the Bravo show was a “cover-up” for Leviss’ “full-blown affair” with Tom Sandoval.
One week after news broke that Sandoval had been cheating on Ariana Madix with the former pageant queen for months, Schroeder broke her silence to question Leviss and Schwartz’s August 2022 hookup.
“It sounds like something that Sandoval would have come up with,” the retired reality star claimed on Wednesday’s episode of her “Straight Up With Stassi” podcast.
“It does,” the 34-year-old continued. “He would be like, ‘This would be a great way to cover up.’ It’s a cover-up. And Raquel [was] like, ‘Yeah.'”
The former Bravo personality went on to allege that Schwartz’s ex-wife, Katie Maloney, didn’t believe the duo were into each other when they made out.
Schroeder recalled Maloney, 36, explaining how “f–ked up” it was for the pair to “hurt” her “for a story.”

Maloney allegedy said, “Schwartz isn’t interested in Raquel and Raquel’s not even interested in Schwartz. … This doesn’t feel real.”
Schroeder agreed that the hookup seemed “weird” as a viewer but “now … makes sense.”
“She didn’t give a f–k,” Schroeder explained. “She was in love with Tom Sandoval and hooking up with him behind Ariana’s back.”
The fashion blogger also addressed Leviss’ makeout with Garcelle Beauvais’ son Oliver Saunders this season, calling the “messy” kiss a “distraction” during her and Sandoval’s dalliance.
Schroeder was axed from the series in June 2020 over past racist remarks — and talking about her former cast members’ “mind-blowing” betrayals was “triggering” her.
“I’ve never felt so thankful to be fired from something. F–k,” the “Amazing Race” alum said while reflecting on the “evil” affair.
After clarifying that she is “no debate” on “Team Ariana,” Schroeder called Sandoval “an incredibly selfish, narcissistic, egotistical person.”
The Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman was with Madix for nine years before she found out about his affair with her close friend.
Madix, who has deleted all of her social media accounts, was left “blindsided.”
On Wednesday, both Sandoval and Leviss issued apologies to the former bartender for their behavior, with the latter blaming her actions on an “addiction” to love.
