On August 2, 2022, Sandoval claims that the affair began when Leviss interrupts a gathering of men and feels intimidated enough to end the outing early in Lake Havasu.

Madix, Leviss, Kent, Katie Maloney, and Kristina Kelly embark on a girls’ excursion to Las Vegas and Lake Havasu.
Leviss, during part two of the reunion, expresses, “Those were emotions that I hadn’t truly experienced perhaps before,” after unexpectedly joining the guys’ night, Sandoval made her feel “listened to.” Madix mentions in part three of the reunion that she wishes Charlotte torments Leviss for her actions.
