Rachel “Raquel” Leviss openly shared her thoughts on the difficult parts of watching the 11th season of Vanderpump Rules. On her podcast “Rachel Goes Rogue,” Leviss reflected on both the positive and negative aspects of the season premiere. She expressed relief that she is no longer a part of the show and has found more stability and peace in her life. However, she admitted that it was hard for her to see Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix, whom she had considered friends.
Leviss confessed that she feels more resentment toward Scheana and struggles with seeing her face on the show. She acknowledged that she is working through these emotions and hopes to reach a point where it is not a constant source of distress for her. Leviss and Shay were once close friends, but their relationship changed when news of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Leviss broke, leading to Sandoval’s split from Madix.
Following the breakup, Leviss filed a restraining order against Shay after accusing her of punching her upon learning about the affair. As a result, they were unable to film the reunion together and had to be kept 100 yards apart throughout the day. However, the restraining order was later dropped.
Leviss has downplayed her individual friendships with Shay and Madix, stating that their relationship was not as deep as portrayed on the show. She clarified that while they were friendly acquaintances who became friends through the show, they never had the kind of deep conversations she would have with a best friend.
Despite previously considering Shay one of her best friends, Leviss now questions her intentions. Leviss shared that Shay offered her apartment to stay in after her breakup with James Kennedy and created a narrative of being like a sister and mother figure to her. However, Leviss claimed that she paid rent and took care of Shay’s cat, among other things, and feels that Shay is trying to create a narrative that she took advantage of her.
In response, Shay laughed off Leviss’ comments on her podcast, mentioning that she had been waiting to hear from Leviss but felt that her recent podcast appearance solidified their differences.
