'Raquel Is Not For Me'
Tom Sandoval, the lead singer of the band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, recently performed in New York City and made a playful comment during his performance about his relationship with Raquel Leviss.
In a video clip obtained by Page Six, Sandoval sang a cover of "Stacy's Mom" and joked about being interested in his best friend Tom Schwartz's mother instead of Leviss. "Schwartzy's mom has got it going on. She's all I want, and I waited for so long. Schwartz, can't you see that Raquel is not for me," he sang to the audience on Monday night.
The rockstar's shocking comments drew a mixed reaction from the audience. While some concert-goers cheered and laughed at Sandoval's remark, others appeared to express their dissatisfaction by yelling "screw you" and chanting the name of his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix.
Tom Sandoval Wears Lightning Bolt Lapels With Raquel Leviss
Despite throwing shade at Leviss, Sandoval was seen wearing a black blazer with two glowing lightning bolts on the lapels. The design seemed reminiscent of the matching necklaces he and Leviss wore during their secret affair. However, whether the blazer was intended as a nod to their bond or simply a fashion choice is unclear.
Sandoval's secret affair with his "Vanderpump Rules" co-star was exposed to the public on March 3, after he had cheated on his long-time girlfriend Madix, whom he had been dating for nearly a decade.
Since then, Sandoval has faced backlash, and his cover band reportedly faced some difficulties in selling tickets for their concerts and had to offer a 2-for-1 ticket deal at a recent show in Long Island. Despite the juicy offer, the venue remained "mostly empty."
