Raquel Leviss was speculated to be seen kissing Tom Schwartz at Coachella, but he denied attending the event and the claims. Later on, Us Weekly confirmed that Schwartz and Leviss did kiss at Scheana Shay’s wedding, but their fling was short-lived as Leviss had a months-long affair with Tom Sandoval. The controversy led to speculation that Sandoval was the one Leviss actually kissed at Coachella.
Raquel Leviss was rumored to have made out with Tom Schwartz at Coachella, but it was later confirmed that she had a fling with Tom Sandoval and was also introduced on Vanderpump Rules as having kissed Joey Lennon.
Fans of Vanderpump Rules were left wondering which Tom Leviss made out with at Coachella in April 2022. Initially, rumors circulated that Leviss was seen kissing Tom Schwartz at the music festival in Palm Springs. Schwartz denied the claims, stating on Twitter that he wasn’t at Coachella. However, three months later, Us Weekly confirmed that Schwartz and Leviss did pack on the PDA at Scheana Shay’s wedding in August 2022. Despite their fling, Leviss was later revealed to have a months-long affair with Tom Sandoval, which resulted in the end of his long-time romance with Ariana Madix, and led to the controversy dubbed “Scandoval.”
The scandal caused confusion for viewers, who questioned if Leviss had made out with the wrong Tom at Coachella. Kristen Doute later claimed that Leviss had told her friend that it was indeed Sandoval who had kissed her at the festival. Adding to the confusion, Stassi Schroeder suggested that Schwartz and Leviss’ hookup was a cover for Sandoval’s feelings towards Leviss. Schroeder recounted that Schwartz wasn’t interested in Leviss, and that their romance appeared to be done for a story.
Meanwhile, Leviss denied that the fling with Schwartz was a cover-up, and that her curiosity towards him was genuine. She also stated that things with Sandoval had started off as a friendship and developed into something more. Sandoval apologized to Madix but did not react publicly to the speculation about Coachella. Leviss has not spoken out about who she was seen making out with at the music festival. However, in the March 22 episode of Vanderpump Rules, Joey Lennon, a friend of Brock Davies, was introduced as the “actual guy” Leviss kissed. Schwartz joked that Lennon resembled him, but with more ambition and follow-through.
While it remains unclear which Tom Leviss was seen kissing at Coachella, the scandal has kept fans speculating. Stay tuned for more updates about the hit reality show’s cast members and their ongoing drama.
