Andy Cohen Has Praise for Raquel Leviss for *This* Reason
The WWHL host explained why the Vanderpump Rules cast member defied his expectations during the Season 10 reunion.
To say that the three-part Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion was extremely intense would be a major understatement. So, now that some time has passed since Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, James Kennedy, Scheana Shay, and Lisa Vanderpump came face-to-face with Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss following the news of their affair, the latter cast member is receiving some retrospective praise from host Andy Cohen.
Andy's Thoughts on Raquel's Role at the Reunion
Admiring Raquel, Andy said on the June 13 episode of his radio show, Andy Cohen Live, "She took it all on the chin like a champ, and those people all had stuff to say to her and they were relentless and she just sat there and took it."
Admittedly, though, Andy "didn't know that she would be able to," he said — hence, what he saw as the need for one-on-one sit-downs. "To me, given my years of experience in these forums, I would've thought that she would've walked off way sooner and maybe walked into her car never to having been seen again. I don't know."

That, of course, wasn't the case. Instead, as Andy put it, Raquel "sat there and really took it all."
Not only that, but during her solo sit-down, Raquel also shared several never-before-revealed details about her and Sandoval's relationship, including the notion that they hadn't been telling the truth about the timeline of their affair.
Where Things With Raquel Stand Today
After the reunion taping, Raquel made the decision to work on her mental health by seeking treatment at a facility. According to E! News, she was still there as of June 8, at which point she had completed 68 days of treatment so far.
Raquel's team also shared an update back in May after her Instagram account was allegedly hacked. "This account was hacked, and with the help of Instagram it has been reset and is now managed by Raquel’s team for the next month while she continues treatment," a message shared to her Instagram Stories read. "MAY is MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS month so Raquel has requested all of the posts focus on raising awareness for mental health organizations, advocates and removing the stigma surrounding treatment.”
