Tom Sandoval admitted he showed his Special Forces costars photos of Raquel Leviss — but it wasn’t for bragging rights.
“I was definitely not, like, showing it as a badge of honor,” Sandoval, 41, told TMZ in a video posted on Friday, August 4 — one day after fellow Special Forces contestant Nick Viall claimed the Vanderpump Rules star “snuck in” the images.
“I think I was more, just, like, you know — you’re very lonely at that place, there’s no phones or nothing,” Sandoval elaborated, quipping: “But you know, [Nick’s] got a podcast to do.”
Nick made the claims on the Thursday, August 3, episode of his “Viall Files” podcast.
“He snuck in pictures of him and Rachel,” the season 21 Bachelor, 42, alleged, noting that the competitors on the Fox reality show are not allowed to bring in certain items while in training. (Rachel is Raquel’s birth name.) “And he showed them to the cast, for what’s that worth.”
Nick further explained that while he “would have loved to sneak in a picture of [my fiancée] Natalie [Joy],” Sandoval “went out of his way to bring in, like, endearing photos of him and Raquel/Rachel and show them around.”
