LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Raquel Leviss’ family is seeking FBI’s help after receiving multiple ‘violent and graphic’ threats. It started after the former beauty pageant started an affair with her colleague Tom Sandoval. Leviss' family claims that they received both online and over-the-phone messages threatening to tear down Raquel ‘limb from limb.’

One caller promised he’s going to ‘unalive and dump the body’ of the reality star. Meanwhile, an FBI spokesperson told TMZ that it can’t confirm or deny investigations. In a statement, the investigation body said, “Obviously, we review all allegations reported to us and encourage anyone who believes their life is in imminent danger to call 911.” Leviss is currently seeking treatment for her mental health issues since last month after her secret romantic relationship came into the spotlight, as reported by PageSix

'I did not f*****g say that'

The 28-year-old reality star hasn’t been active on social media but as per the representative Leviss has “requested all of the posts focus on raising awareness for mental health organizations, advocates and removing the stigma surrounding treatment.” However, so far not a single post on mental health can be noticed on her social media accounts. Earlier, Leviss’ friend Scheana Shay claimed that Sandoval told Leviss he was in an ‘open relationship’ with her partner Ariana Madix, who now dates Daniel Wai, since the scandal. “I did not f*****g say that,” Sandoval had hit back at the allegation during the reunion which was telecasted on Wednesday, May 24.

'How can we support you?'

Ariana Madix, in the reunion episode, claimed that she managed to sell merchandise worth $200,000 ever since the Tom Sandoval scandal. Her business partner Katie Maloney told host Andy Cohen, "It's really incredible that so many supportive people showed up to, like help us." Madix chipped in about her sandwich shop Something About Her, "We were always going to do merch in the shop, and we thought that was something we would do, like down the road," and Cohen noted, "That was smart of you." Leviss recalled, "But then people were saying 'How can we support you?' And so we launched it early," reports MEAWW.
