Garcelle Beauvais Discussed Her Son’s Appearance on ‘Vanderpump Rules’
Saunders filmed scenes for the 10th season of “Vanderpump Rules,” where he had a flirtation with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. However, after they kissed, Leviss discovered he and Samantha Saunders had not yet legally separated. As fans are aware, Leviss and her castmate, Tom Sandoval, had an affair during the 10th season of “Vanderpump Rules.”
While speaking to The U.S. Sun in May 2024, Saunders stated that he believed his situation with his now ex-wife was misrepresented.
“I had a different place at the time, and, unfortunately, the story got spun. I feel like a lot of people were able to see the truth through it, so it worked out,” said the father of one.
The Vanderpump à Paris employee went on to say that he “didn’t like the way that [he] got [his] story spun.”
“Reality TV isn’t always as real as people like to think it is,” continued Saunders.
Beauvais discussed her eldest son’s “Vanderpump Rules” appearance in a March 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight. She joked that she appreciated Leviss’ affair, as it took away the attention on Saunders.
“When it became bigger than what Oliver did, I was like, ‘Thank god.’ It’s not about just him,” quipped Beauvais with a laugh.
She also stated that while she disagreed with her son’s behavior, she loved him.
“What are you going to do?” said Beauvais.
