WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: Oliver Saunders, the co-star from 'Vanderpump Rules' had defended Raquel Leviss and has opened up on her affair with Tom Sandoval. "It rubs me the wrong way how many people I feel like are so quick to judge or say negative things about somebody without really, genuinely knowing the person. You gotta give her a break," said Saunders.

During the episode of ‘The Sarah Fraser Show’ podcast, the 32-year-old further added, "It's a mistake, and we all make mistakes." In one of the episodes of 'VPR' this season, Levis was caught making out with Sandoval at a Las Vegas nightclub, while she was on a girls’ trip with Lala Kend and Sandoval’s partner Ariana Madix. Sandoval, who had been in a nine years relationship with Madix was by the latter after discovering a recording of an intimate FaceTime call and ‘inappropriate’ messages between the two on his cellphone.

'It's a human thing'

The sources told People, that Ariana Madix was ‘completely blindfolded,’ "This is someone she thought she knew; someone she planned to spend the rest of her life with. You can't even put into words that betrayal." During the podcast, Saunders further said, "I guess it wasn't the right thing to do to one of her friends, but she is living her life, and everybody makes mistakes. It's crazy that so many people want to try to crucify her for this or say this about her as if they have never made a mistake or made the wrong choice before. It's a human thing."

'Yes, she shouldn't have been hooking up'

He also shared that he hasn’t been in touch with Leviss since the news of the affair became public, "Yes, she shouldn't have been hooking up with our friend's dude, but we all make mistakes. I don't think you can really judge somebody's whole character by just one action that's happened." Talking about an upcoming episode of 'VPR', Saunders enthralled fans by saying, "We do have an episode that's coming out in the next week or two, I believe. I went to Pump with my mother and Lisa [Vanderpump], and then me and Raquel went out to dinner in Beverly Hills. We spoke a little after that, but you know she's got a lot going on."
