Appearing onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenafter the episode aired, the 36-year-old Something About Her co-founder said her jaw was “on the floor” watching Leviss probe Madix, 37, about her sex life with Sandoval — a conversation Bravo viewers now know happen in the midst ofmonths-long affairbetween Leviss, 28, and Sandoval, 40.
“Did you feel like Raquel was trying to convince Ariana she should break up with Tom during that one-on-one at the end when they were talking about intimacy?” askedCohen, 54.
“Totally, yeah,” replied Maloney.
Guardians of the GalaxystarKaren Gillan, who was also appearing onWWHLwith Maloney, added: “The audacity! What is going on with Raquel, it’s a full identity crisis, right?”
Revealing she had no idea that the conversation between Madix and Leviss had happened, Maloney admitted, “I watched it, jaw on the floor. I was like, ‘This is the most nefarious thing I’ve ever seen happen.'”

Leviss and Madix’s conversation took place atLisa Vanderpump’s SUR after Madix and Maloney hosted a preview for their West Holywood sandwich shop.
“We had a big argument last night,” Madix told Leviss of her and Sandoval’s relationship. “He feels like he’s not being heard, which is why he’s always the loudest person in the room.”
Leviss then asked, “Do you think, because I remember when I opened up to you about [my ex-fiancé]James [Kennedy]and I not having sex. And you told me, ‘Yeah. Sometimes Sandoval and I go through dry spells.’ "
“Yeah, we do,” Madix admitted to her. “You come home after working all night. And you think you’re just gonna like whip your d— out and I’m gonna be like, ‘Yeah, let’s f—.’ That’s never gonna happen. You have to spend time together.”
Leviss then insisted, “I feel like in a relationship you should want to have sex.”
“OK, but you have to be emotionally intimate before you can be physically intimate,” countered Madix.

Leviss follows up, “You guys were emotionally intimate at one point, obviously right?”
“Yeah, when we’d spend time together. If you want to connect, you have to work on your connection,” Madix elaborated.
Leviss then asked, “Do you feel like you’re sexually attracted to him?”
“Oh my God, I think he’s so f—ing hot,” Madix stated. “But then I’m like, ‘I’m not hot.’ [Sandoval doesn’t] don’t look at my body and go, ‘Yeah, that’s what I want. I want cellulite, fat thighs and a big ass and bingo arms.'”
“Stop, Ariana. I feel like a lot of it is in your own head,” Raquel said. She began to cry, explaining, “And that makes me really sad because I do that to myself too. We’re a lot prettier than we think we are. We’re our own worst critics. I think that that translates into our sexual lives.”
In a confessional, Leviss speculated, “I’m sure Ariana’s body image insecurities have a role in the issues that Tom and Ariana are having. If you’re not feeling good about yourself, there’s no way that you can be having good sex.”

Back in their conversation, Leviss told Madix, “Clearly, you want to stay in this relationship.”
“Yeah, I do. I would not be having this conversation if this wasn’t who I want to be with,” Madix confirmed.
“My point is that not everyone is that way,” Leviss said, to which Madix added, “I think we’ll talk it out, and it’ll be fine.”
Less than six months later on March 3, Sandoval and Madix’snine-year relationshipabruptlyendedafter Madix discovered Sandoval had been having a secret relationship with Leviss.
Elsewhere onWWHL, Maloney weighed in on whether her ex-husband and costarTom Schwartzknew about the affair when hekissed LevissatScheana ShayandBrock Davies’weddingin Mexico last August.
“I think right after the wedding, after him and Raquel kissed, is when Sandoval told him,” Maloney said. “Because I think Raquel was playing funny games with Sandoval, maybe trying to make him jealous. Because, you know, ‘Well I’m single, I can do what I want. You have a girlfriend, so I’m going to go kiss your friend.’ And so then Sandoval came and put a kibosh on it and told Schwartz that him and Raquel have a thing going on, so Schwartz wouldn’t pursue Raquel. That’s my theory.”
Maloney also noted that she’s still “really angry” about the affair, adding, “Some days I’m even more angry.”
The star also told Cohen she wasn’t satisfied with Leviss and Sandoval’s explanations during theseason 10 reunionfilming.
“I feel like we didn’t get enough answers,” she said.
