Paige DeSorbo says she feared for her man after meeting disgraced Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss.
During a live taping of the Giggly Squad podcast with co-host Hannah Berner, Paige recounted an interaction she had with Raquel while attending Hannah’s May 2022 wedding with her boyfriend, Southern Charm star Craig Conover.
Raquel was invited to the wedding as the “plus one” of her ex-boyfriend, Shahs of Sunset star Nema Vand. While mingling at the wedding’s reception, Paige alleged that Raquel made a beeline straight for Craig after noticing him on the dance floor.
“I literally survey the whole f—king room,” the Summer House star said. “I clock Craig at the bar, and I watch Raquel leave the dance floor and walk over to Craig.”
As the crowd erupted in “boos,” Paige enthusiastically continued, “I know! And I’m standing there, and I literally turn to everyone around me, and I was like, ‘I don’t trust this b—ch, I do not trust her,’ and everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, no, she’s so sweet, and she would never,’ and I f—king knew it.
Hannah chimed in and recalled her wedding guests telling her, “Rachel (Raquel’s legal name) is so sweet.”
Paige emphasized, “I mean she’s always been very nice to us.” Hannah then compared Raquel to “a hurt bird,” sending Paige into a laughing fit.
If you’re going off the official new timeline of Raquel and co-star Tom Sandoval’s torrid affair that shattered Sandoval’s nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix, the pair were yet to become entangled at the time of the alleged interaction with Craig.
Despite Paige claiming that she didn’t trust Raquel, it didn’t stop her from forming a friendship with her. The two began hanging out together and even attended the Life is Beautiful Festival alongside Pump Rules star Scheana Shay, as seen on Instagram back in September 2022.
Raquel and Tom’s months-long affair was exposed in March of this year after Ariana discovered a sexually explicit video of Raquel on Tom’s phone. The news sent shockwaves well beyond the Bravosphere, and the scandal, dubbed “Scandoval,” eventually reached as far as The White House Correspondents Dinner.
Raquel and Tom confronted the affair head-on during the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion, which concluded last week.
