Tom Sandoval Calls Raquel Leviss ‘Immature’ and ‘Thirsty’ for Blocking Him After He Wished Her Happy Birthday

Tom Sandoval had some choice words for ex Raquel Leviss, who revealed she blocked him on Instagram after the Schwartz & Sandy's co-owner publicly wished her a happy birthday earlier this week.

"Obviously, I think it's a little immature and petty," Sandoval told People while promoting Season 2 of Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test on Tuesday. "To post that you're blocking seems a bit thirsty."

The Most Extras frontman ruffled feathers after he commented on the former beauty pageant competitor's recent Instagram post, in which he wrote, "Happy Birthday Rachel. I really hope ur finding peace and happiness. Miss u friend." (Leviss changed her name back to her birth name, Rachel, after a 90-day stay at a mental health facility in Arizona.)

The Bravo personality explained of his comment, "I wanted to just send her some love, let her know that happy birthday, whatever," later adding, "I just wanted to be nice and say, 'Hey, hope you're having fun. Hope you're doing well.'"

He continued: "I just kind of feel bad for her, in a way. I don't understand. I think she's really struggling with taking accountability for her actions and just wants to point fingers and be mad at everybody else. There were two of us in this situation. We both screwed up."

Sandoval and Leviss' months-long affair came to light in March, completely rocking the Bravosphere in what has since been dubbed Scandoval. The TomTom co-owner had been in a relationship with Vanderpump Rules co-star Ariana Madix for nearly a decade at the time.  

The fallout of the affair was captured on camera and featured during the Season 10 VPR finale and the three-part reunion, which filmed in March but aired in May. The Messenger exclusively reported that Sandoval and Leviss split that same month.

In a bombshell interview on Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel's Just B podcast last month, Leviss told Frankel that she has since forgiven herself for her affair with Sandoval. 

"Honesty is one of my core values," she claimed. "I refuse to compromise any longer."

Filming for Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules is currently underway.
