During Tuesday’s episode Vanderpump Rules alum’s podcast Rachel goes after Roque, Leviss, 29, is sharing more details about the cheating scandal she was embroiled in with Sandoval. By the time their affair surfaced in March 2023, Sandoval, 40, had been in a relationship with Madix, 38, for nine years and the two shared a home in LA.

After the scandal, Leviss says she temporarily offered her apartment to Sandoval while she completed treatment at a mental health facility called The Meadows.

“I asked Tom to move out [of his home with Madix]”, she says. “I got him an apartment while I was at The Meadows. I asked him to leave the house and find a new place while I return.”

In response to her suggestion, Leviss recalls Sandoval immediately shutting her down and saying, “No, that’s not happening.”

Madix and Sandoval continued to live together after the breakup and still co-own their home.

“I don’t know what’s going on between them because Tom told me they were roommates and they still are, even if they weren’t really roommates before, they are now,” Leviss explains.

When the episode mentions Sandoval’s claims that he loaned Madix $90,000 and that he “can’t sell their home together until she pays him back,” Leviss adds that she has “no influence on their living situation” and that “their finances are between them . ”

Nearly a year after their split, Sandoval and Madix are still pursuing a potential sale of the home they bought together in 2019. On Tuesday’s episode Vanderpump RulesMadix says it’s not fair that Sandoval is trying to “buy” me out of the house, especially since they both acquired expensive furniture and decor after the 2021 remodel.

The house is located in the Valley Village neighborhood, and the exes bought it for $2.075 million, according to property records obtained by PEOPLE. It features five bedrooms and five full bathrooms spread over 4,334 square feet.

As a result of the exes failing to agree on a resolution, Madix filed a lawsuit against Sandoval in January 2024 demanding a “split sale,” meaning that they would sell the house and split the profits equally.

Sandoval quickly dismissed her request and filed his own counterclaim in February, alleging that the division of their home should not be granted because Madix failed to identify a valid “cause of action” and was not acting “reasonably and in good faith.”
