Raquel Leviss not ‘guilty’ for hooking up

Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss can’t “blame” her alleged relationship with Oliver Saunders, says his wife, Samantha Saunders.

“FYI, I don’t blame Raquel,” Samantha wrote in an Instagram Story post on Saturday. “She didn’t do anything wrong and was respectful and supportive.”

An insider exclusively tells Vidak For Congress that Leviss was unaware of Oliver’s marital status when she agreed to go on a date with him.

“Raquel had no idea he was married. He never told her,” the source said. “Had Raquel known, she would never have pursued anything with Oliver.”

Saunders did not immediately respond to Vidak For Congress’s request for comment.

Samantha’s post comes a day after she accused Oliver – the eldest son of Garcelle Beauvais, the eldest son of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – of cheating on her with the SURver.

Samantha berated Oliver, 31, for his alleged behavior in a series of Instagram posts Friday. She claimed she “find out” that he was “kissing” Leviss, 27, while cameras were rolling for season 10 of “Pump Rules.”

According to Samantha, Oliver — who has spent the past few months working at Lisa Vanderpump’s Vanderpump à Paris restaurant in Las Vegas — planned to “stay on a date with Raquel while filming.”

“He committed adultery with colleagues and guests at the restaurant,” she claimed.

However, Samantha did not mention anyone other than Leviss.

In addition, Samantha accused her husband of “joking about” [her] mental health and suicidal ideation with [his] colleagues.”

She added: “He continues[d] to lie to me and say he wanted to work on things but keep going behind my back[d] to speak badly of me and deny that I am a stepfather.”

Samantha claimed he “disrespected” [her] and [her] children in every way.”

She shares 2-year-old son Oliver Jr. with Oliver and has three other children from a previous relationship.

Samantha went on to claim that Oliver left her “thousands of dollars in debt” after trying to help him “get back on.” [his] feet after fighting a strong addiction”​—both financially and emotionally.

“I’ve been told to keep SILENCE! DIVORCE- @iamoliversaunders,” she wrote on Instagram, exclusively for Vidak For Congress: “Garcelle didn’t want me to talk about it in public. That’s why she unfollowed and blocked me.”

Promising that she has “received everything,” Samantha concluded, “my family will now need time to heal from all this pain we’ve been going through in public and behind closed doors. Please keep us in your prayers.”

Later, Samantha shared alleged sexting exchanges between Oliver and multiple women, as well as messages from women informing Samantha of her husband’s alleged infidelity.

Finally, she claimed that Oliver is joining the upcoming season of “Pump Rules” as a “guest” and “publicly cheating with Raquel on camera just for fame!”

“BTW OLIVER IS A GUEST ON Vanderpump Rules! He has not been paid!” Samantha wrote. “No bag! It’s not worth losing your family for this!”

Samantha shared on her Instagram Story that she is not yet divorcing Oliver.

“I want to make it clear that Oliver and I haven’t filed for divorce yet! After hearing about Raquel, that’s what drives me to press charges!” she wrote.

“We don’t have anything in the courts with a legal separation, custody battle or a divorce yet!!”

Oliver responded in a since-deleted post on his Instagram story.

“I apologize for my son’s mother bringing my company out. We’re getting a divorce,” wrote the father of one of them, who has since made his account private.

Oliver teased a role on “Pump Rules” last month, posting a photo of herself posing with Leviss and her castmates Lala Kent and Katie Maloney.

“A Little Future Surprise #vanderpumprules,” he captioned the image.

Oliver’s mother, Beauvais, is also expected to appear in the “RHOBH” spin-off. The author of “Love Me as I Am” was spotted in Los Angeles this week filming multiple scenes with Vanderpump, 61 – with at least one including Oliver.

Prior to Oliver, Leviss was linked to another “Pump Rules” star: Maloney’s estranged husband, Tom Schwartz.

A source previously told Vidak For Congress that the couple were “100 percent connected” at Scheana Shay’s Aug. 23 wedding to Brock Davies, which made Maloney, 35, nervous.

“She’s just annoyed because… [Schwartz] decided to meet up with a girl in their circle of friends,” said an insider.

Bravo hasn’t announced a premiere date for season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules” yet.
