Why Raquel Leviss Had “More Realizations” and “More Regrets” During the Vanderpump Rules Reunion
The Vanderpump Rules cast member had a surprising reaction to seeing this moment go down during the reunion.
Raquel Leviss revealed one of her major regrets from her affair with Tom Sandoval during Part 2 of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion — and it involved Scheana Shay, not Ariana Madix.
More specifically, Raquel revealed she regretted filling a temporary restraining order against Scheana. As such, she told host Andy Cohen, “I’ve been taking every measure to get it dropped. I spoke with my lawyer and he was able to file a request to dismiss the court hearing altogether.” (Per E! News, it was officially dropped on March 29.)
Scheana’s Reaction to the Dismissed Temporary Restraining Order
Upon hearing the news from Andy, Scheana began to cry as she discussed the emotional effect the temporary restraining order had on her.
“Having this for the last weeks — first of all, the betrayal of two of my best friends, that is heartbreaking in itself,” Scheana explained on the reunion stage. “But then to throw all of this on top of it, when I did nothing but take care of her, I gave her a home to live in when she didn’t have anywhere to go, [and] I was the sister to her that she didn’t have growing up. I did everything for her, and for her to do this to me, it has taken such a toll on me. I have not been able to be completely present for my daughter… It’s been a lot.”
Raquel’s “Realizations” and “Regrets”
Raquel, who watched the reunion on a monitor in a trailer because she had to be at least 100 yards away from the “Good as Gold” singer, reacted to Scheana’s comments.
“Now I’m thinking I should have wrote Scheana a personal note,” Raquel said from her trailer just moments before she swapped spots with Scheana on the reunion stage. “As things are unfolding, it’s more realizations and more regrets.”
Scheana’s Confrontation of Sandoval and Raquel
After opening up about the emotional “toll” that Raquel’s relationship with Sandoval took on her, Scheana confirmed that she had been suspicious of the two before news of the affair broke. She then revealed what she said to Raquel about it.
“When I had a suspicion, I said, ‘I know you’re better than this. I know you would never do this, she goes, ‘Never, never,’” Scheana recounted on the reunion. “I said, ‘Please don’t ever do anything that’s going to make me have to be apart from you. Ariana and I have been ride-or-die for you. I love you so much, don’t do anything to ever change that.’ And she said, ‘I promise I wouldn’t, Scheana. I would never do that.’ I trusted her with everything. Everything.”
She also confronted Sandoval about it when they attended an event for Ariana’s brand, Drink from Home, though at the time, he denied that he and Raquel were anything more than just friends.
“I would be doing a disservice to Ariana as her best friend to not question you,” Scheana added. “You needed to at least lie to my face, and thank god you did, because then I would have be the person to tell her.”
Scheana exited the reunion stage shortly after learning about the status of the temporary restraining order. You can see what happens when Raquel joins the rest of the Vanderpump Rules crew on Part 3 of the reunion, which will air on Wednesday, June 7, at 9/8c.
