Vanderpump Rules alum Kristen Doute says Raquel Leviss is ‘telling some truths’ but denies the claims that she took ‘hush money’ from Bravo

Kristen Doute addressed the claims Raquel Leviss recently made about taking “hush money” from Bravo.

On Thursday, the Vanderpump Rules alum, 40, took to Instagram to respond to what the former beauty pageant contestant, 28, said in a recent tell-all on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast.

“Rachel isn’t lying in the little clip I heard,” she said in videos of herself in bed that she shared on her Instagram Stories. “She tells some truths.”

However, the reality TV star – who will star in an upcoming spin-off series alongside her former co-star, Jax Taylor, and his wife, Brittany Cartwright – claimed: “But I definitely didn’t get any hush money or anything. offered like that. That.’

Earlier the same day, the second episode of a three-part episode was released, in which Leviss claimed that Doute was cast in the spin-off to prevent her from speaking out about their mutual ex, James Kennedy.

Leviss – who pulled out of the show after facing backlash for her months-long fling with Tom Sandoval – had on the Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast she believed Doute had been bribed into silence.

“Kristen just started talking about her tumultuous relationship with James and what went on behind closed doors,” she began.

“Then all of a sudden she gets to see this spinoff,” she told the Real Housewives of New York City alum.

She then claimed, “I believe (it) is a way to silence her – to keep that a secret – so that the longevity of the Vanderpump Rules can continue.”

“I’ve seen him be a violent person, so I have no doubt that what she says is true,” she said of her ex-fiancé – with whom she dated for five years.

“I hope one day it will come to light and there will be justice,” she added.

“It’s interesting because the cast members who were fired and canceled at the time now have this big comeback — because this scandal is so outrageous that we’re the ultimate villains, Tom and I — and now they have a platform to redeem themselves.” she added.

Doute — who dated the DJ for Leviss in season three in 2015 and experienced a toxic relationship that unfolded on the series — shared another clip on the same day to further elaborate on her comment.

Denying the claims: “I agree with what Rachel says about ‘you know who,'” she said without mentioning her ex. “I think I made my feelings very clear. “But also, guys, for realsies, there’s no opportunity, nothing new that I’ve been given, like, to shut me up or as hush money or anything like that,” she continued

“I didn’t listen to Bethenny’s podcast with Rachel,” she explained. “I saw a TikTok with a clip with my name in it, so I responded to that.”

‘And now I hear everything that has been said. I have no idea,’ she said.

“I agree with what Rachel says about ‘you know who,'” she said without mentioning her ex. “I think I made my feelings very clear.

“But also, guys, for realsies, there’s no opportunity, no new thing I’ve been given, like, to shut me up or as hush money or anything like that,” she continued.

“So that part is completely wrong,” she added. “And I hope that clears things up.”

A Bravo spokesperson also denied the allegations in a statement obtained by Us weekly and published Thursday, “Kristen Doute was one of the people approached for an upcoming spin-off because she’s part of the group of friends featured in a new show.”
