Ariana Madix Makes Emotional Return to Tom Sandoval’s Bar for First Time Since His Affair – E! Online

But while Madix was working on moving past the betrayal of her former partner of nine years, Kent was secretly sympathizing with Leviss in the aftermath of the controversy.

“I know what it’s like to have a man in front of you painting a beautiful picture,” she recounted in a confessional of Leviss, who left the series after season 10. “Saying, ‘You’re the one for me, you’re my soulmate.’ And you see what your future could be with this person and you’re f–king willing to risk it all. So much so that I ignored everyone around me telling me, ‘Girl, you’re the other woman.'”

Kent even drew comparisons between her failed relationship with ex Randall Emmett and Leviss’ affair with Sandoval.

“What Raquel did, what she said, how she went about things was so f–king stupid,” the 33-year-old continued. “But as someone who knows what it’s like to walk through life and see comments about being a mistress, I don’t want her to wear that forever.”

Then, in a shocking turn of events, Kent reached out to Leviss via text.

“Hey, Raquel,” she began her message. “I’m sure I’m like the last person you expected to hear from. I hope that you’re doing OK. I don’t know if you’re back in L.A. or not but I’d like to have a conversation with you at some point if you’re open to that. Hope to talk to you soon.”

While Leviss didn’t respond, Kent did note she read the message, causing her to react with, “I feel like I’m going to throw up and s–t my pants at the same time.”
