Oliver Saunders‘ wife, Samantha Saunders, has reportedly been told to “stay silent” about their divorce. But, on Friday, she did anything but that.
On the heels of reports claiming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Garcelle Beauvais‘ son will be appearing on the upcoming 10th season of Vanderpump Rules, Samantha shared a lengthy statement about the disrespect and verbal abuse she’s allegedly been dealt with at the hands of her soon-to-be-ex-husband.
“Since Oliver has started working at [Vanderpump a Paris] he has disrespected me and my kids in every way possible. He has made jokes about my mental health and suicidal thoughts with coworkers. He has committed adultery with coworkers and guests of the restaurant,” she began, adding that one of those guests was Raquel Leviss.
“I have found out he has made out with [Raquel] while filming [with Lisa Vanderpump and] plans to continue to go on a date with Raquel while filming. He [continues] to lie to me and say he wanted to work on things but behind my back continue to talk bad about me and disown being a stepdad,” she continued.
Samantha went on to admit that when she first met Oliver, she didn’t realize he was battling addiction issues.
“When I met Oliver and fell in love him him I had no idea the demons he was battling – because I loved this man and saw everything he was cable of I stayed and trusted him,” she explained. “I stayed silent and helped him behind closed doors and never talked bad about him or blasted his secrets. I helped this man get back on feet after fighting a strong addiction and battling in the courts. I financially supported this man and all the kids off one income while he was getting clean. I worked extra paid for all his studio time with music,podcasts, video shoots etc. once he got his job I decided to pursue real estate trusting he was going to support me like I did to him. Instead this man has left me in thousands of dollars of debt and in a financial struggle.”
In closing, as she confirmed she has “receipts of everything,” Samantha wrote, “My family will now need the time to heal from all this pain that we have been through publicly and behind closed doors. Please keep us in your prayers,” and shared a screenshot of a text exchange between them, in which Oliver allegedly poked fun at her mental health struggles.
Following her lengthy post, Samantha took to her Instagram Story, where she shared a bevy of screenshots, allegedly from Oliver’s Instagram account, in which he seemingly made plans to hang out with other women and received racy photos from several.
She then confirmed that Oliver, as suspected, has been filming scenes for Pump Rules season 10 in recent weeks before clarifying that he will not be featured in a full-time position on the show.
“[By the way], Oliver is a guest on Vanderpump Rules! He’s not paid!” she revealed. “He’s cheating publicly with Raquel on camera only for fame! No bag!”
Then, in a second message, Samantha said “they,” not sharing who, “are trying to silence me and take my page down!”
As for Oliver’s reaction? He wrote in a since-deleted post on his Story, via Queens of Bravo on Instagram, that he’s sorry for the drama between him and Samantha.
“I apologize for my son’s mother putting my business out there. We are getting divorced,” he stated.
Last month, Oliver posted a photo of himself with some cast members of Vanderpump Rules including Raquel. “A little future surprise,” he teased in the caption of his pic, as he also included video camera emoji and the Pump Rules hashtag.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime early next year.
