Raquel Leviss has ghosted Tom Sandoval as she hides out in Los Angeles following the news of the couples’ bombshell affair, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
In our exclusive photos, the 28-year-old ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star was spotted for the first time on Wednesday afternoon wearing an all-black ensemble consisting of a hoodie, baggy jeans, r a baseball cap and a handbag.
“She looked gloomy,” a witness told us.
Leviss’ black eye – allegedly inflicted by her teammate and now ex-friend Scheana Shay – was visible as she strolled through a mall in Los Angeles and looked at her cellphone.
Leviss alleged that Shay, 37, punched her in the face during their “heated confrontation” in New York over her affair with Sandoval, 39.
Leviss shared shocking footage of his injuries in court documents obtained by Page Six on Wednesday.

Leviss claimed Shay, 37, suffered an eye injury after he admitted to having a “month-long affair” with Sandoval, while dating Shay’s best friend Ariana Madix.
Representatives for Shay and Leviss have not commented on the alleged physical argument.
Sources tell us Leviss spent time away from his North Hollywood home with loved ones – and ignored texts and phone calls from Sandoval, 39 – as their infidelity scandal, dubbed the “Scandoval”, continues to reverberate in the news cycle.

“Tom couldn’t find Raquel for several days,” an insider said. “He asked mutual acquaintances if they had heard of her, but he was unlucky. He cannot contact her.
Another source adds, “She completely ignored Tom.”
Representatives for Leviss and Sandoval did not respond to Page Six’s requests for comment on the pair’s lack of communication.
Sandoval and Leviss saw each other on Saturday when they kissed on camera for a “VPR” scene filmed at the latter’s apartment, Page Six exclusively reported this week.

Despite the kiss, the couple’s relationship status is “complicated,” an insider noted.
Sandoval was spotted paying a late night visit to Leviss – just a day after his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix dumped him for cheating with the former pageant queen.
A rep for the Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras singer previously told us he exited the building through a private entrance after filming wrapped.
The day before, Sandoval and Madix, 37, sat down to discuss his infidelity for a scene filmed last Friday at the exes’ shared home in the Valley Village enclave of Los Angeles. (Both parties still live there as they navigate their separation.)
Sources tell us that Madix left the conversation feeling “enlightened” by Sandoval, who was romantically involved with Leviss last summer.
“He gave her multiple excuses as to why he never got around to cheating,” an insider said, adding that “he didn’t tell her about the Leviss affair because he was worried about the impact it would have on his mental health.”
Madix was “heartbroken” and “blindsided” when she learned of the affair after a sexually explicit video sent by Leviss appeared on Sandoval’s phone, a source told Page Six.
The unfortunate discovery came the same night Madix supported Sandoval at a gig for his cover band at TomTom in West Hollywood on March 1.
Leviss issued a public apology to Madix on Wednesday, attributing his indiscretions to an apparent “love” addiction. Meanwhile, Sandoval – who dated Madix for nearly a decade – took five days to deliver a meaningful apology that fans deemed too little, too late.
Madix, for his part, has yet to address the issue publicly.
However, her Something About Her costar and business partner Katie Maloney recently told fans that the blonde beauty was “overwhelmed” with the public’s support.
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
