Raquel Leviss' defense amid the backlash she's received from her affair with her  co-star, Tom Sandoval.Saunders — the eldest son of  star Garcelle Beauvais, spoke up for Leviss during an appearance on  podcast Monday.«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,» Saunders, 32, said. «It's a mistake, and we all make mistakes.»As fans of the Bravo reality TV series know, Leviss, 28, and Saunders were caught making out during a season 10 episode of the show, during a girls' trip to Las Vegas.Filming of the Vegas trip took place months before news of Sandoval's affair with Leviss broke — bringing his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix to an end.While Saunders, who called Madix a «sweetheart,» voiced his support for Leviss, he did acknowledge her wrongdoing amid the Scandoval madness.«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,» he added.«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,» Saunders continued to explain. «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.»Saunders is set to appear again on, telling Fraser, «We do have an episode that's coming out in the next week or two, I believe.
