According to the former beauty queen, after rumors flew about her and Schwartz, 41, kissing at Coachella in 2022, she noted how "a little seed [was] planted in my head that, oh, like, that could be a fun storyline for Season 10 and because we're both single, and so when I made that move, he turned it down, and I was like, 'Okay, that's that.' Like, I'm not going to try again because it was stupid to begin with it, and he clearly wasn't into it."

However, Leviss claimed the TomTom co-founder had a change of heart. "I have a feeling that either producers got into Schwartz's ear saying, ‘Oh, you should make out with Raquel.’ He got some pressure somewhere to make out with me and put a move on me," she added while noting that their make-out sesh was "definitely staged" and "definitely produced."

Sandoval, 40, gave Schwartz the "go ahead with Sandoval to kiss me because I don't think he would do it without Sandoval being okay with it," as the former model knew "since the very beginning" about their undercover love affair.

"I got a phone call from Tom the next morning after we hooked up for the first time, and my mind was racing. I was feeling so much guilt and shame about it. And I finally got a phone call from Sandoval and he was at Schwartz's apartment when he called me, and that was like a safe space for him," Leviss recalled.

While the Sonoma State alum has continued to spill the tea behind Scandoval on her podcast, the Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras musician opened up in a new interview about how he's attempted to move on from last year.

"The Tom that was here [last time] was a dude lost in a cyclone," he explained at the Wednesday, January 17, premiere of Season 11 of the hit Bravo series. "Like somebody who was just lost in the ocean, barely hanging on to an old wooden door like in the [end of] Titanic. Literally just not in control. No idea what the h---'s going on."
