What Raquel Leviss Found “Really Hard” About the Vanderpump Rules Reunion

Raquel also revealed if she would have handled her affair with Sandoval any differently.

By Shannon Raphael

After her time on Part 3 of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion came to an end, Raquel Leviss reflected on why it was such a difficult day for her. 

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

The former pageant queen got a few minutes alone with castmate Tom Sandoval, who she had an affair with while he was still in a relationship with Ariana Madix, after she left the stage. Find out what the two talked about by scrolling below. 

Raquel reflects on her affair

Though Sandoval assured her that she did "really good" on the reunion, Raquel said that it was "brutal" to hear what her fellow castmates had to say about her and the affair. 

"It's hard to admit to everything and when everything is laid out in front of you, and everything that we've done and how we've hurt so many people — it's really hard to, like, accept that," Raquel said to Sandoval about her time on the reunion.

She admitted that she wasn't proud of how she handled her connection to Sandoval.

"I'm seeing the person that I've become, and this isn't who I want to be," she added. "I don't want to be the person that hurts other people."

Sandoval agreed, saying that it "really sucks" that "for everyone to just think that [he and Raquel] are the most evilest people ever, like [they're] compulsive liars."

"It's like, how did we not lie about this?!" he continued. 

On her regrets

Before she exited the reunion set for the day, Raquel shared one final reflection for Season 10. 

"[In] hindsight, I should have done a lot of things differently..." she concluded. "These are the consequences."

Raquel's post-reunion reaction wasn't the first time she opened up about her regrets. Just moments before she went out on the reunion stage, Raquel spoke with a producer about another one of her "realizations."

The moment arrived after Raquel gave host Andy Cohen paperwork, which stated that she was dropping the temporary restraining order against Scheana Shay. The "Good as Gold" singer had an emotional reaction to seeing the papers.

"Now I’m thinking I should have wrote Scheana a personal note,” Raquel said from her trailer before she changed spots with Scheana on the reunion stage. "As things are unfolding, it’s more realizations and more regrets."
