Raquel Leviss made over $350K for ‘Pump Rules’ despite claiming she hasn’t ‘seen a single penny’: report

Reality TV

Lisa Vanderpump claimed Raquel Leviss is far from broke.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum told TMZ that Leviss made $361,000 during Season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules” — even though the former beauty pageant queen claimed she hasn’t “seen a single penny” from Scandoval.

“I think she got very well paid,” Vanderpump, 62, said Wednesday.

Additionally, sources familiar with the situation told the outlet Leviss earned nearly $20,000 per episode for the season.

The rebuttal came hours after the Bravo star accused the network of profiting off her “mistakes” during her bombshell interview on Bethenny Frankel’s “Just B” podcast.

“The network is running to the bank — like, laughing, running to the bank with this scandal — and I haven’t seen a single penny,” she said.

Leviss, 28, teared up reflecting on how her life crumbled after her months-long affair with co-star Tom Sandoval, who was in a long-term relationship with Ariana Madix at the time.

“It’s not fair,” Leviss said. “And I feel like a toddler saying, ‘It’s not fair!’ But it really isn’t. And I feel like I’ve been portrayed as the ultimate villain. My mistakes that I’ve made on-camera live on forever.”

When news of the cheating scandal broke in March, TV producers picked up the cameras to follow the drama after Madix, 38, dumped her boyfriend of nearly 10 years.

While talking to the Skinnygirl businesswoman, the “VPR” star echoed her previous allegation that Sandoval, 40, recorded a NSFW video of her without permission.

Leviss said she “decided to be adventurous” and have phone sex with her former fling while she was in New York and he was in Los Angeles.

“Tom and I FaceTimed a lot, so it turned into something more of an intimate FaceTime,” she explained. “I expected to have privacy in that moment, so that happened.”

Leviss claimed she wasn’t aware Sandoval was recording her until Madix found the video on his phone that same night and sent them to her.

“I get a text from Ariana sending me two screen recorded videos and a text that said, ‘You’re dead to me,’ and that’s how I knew that she knew,” she said. “And then also that’s how I found out I had been recorded without my consent, so of course all of these emotions came flooding over me.”

At the time, Leviss feared the video would get leaked and decided to come clean to Madix about the details of the affair.
