News of the affair sent shockwaves through the entire cast – eventually destroying Raquel’s relationship with many of her co-stars – but it was her friendship with Scheana that was shattered in the most dramatic and scandalous way.
Shortly after the affair scandal broke, Raquel took out a restraining order against Scheana, claiming that she hit her when she found out about her romance with Sandoval.
Though the restraining order case was dismissed by a judge when Raquel failed to show up for a hearing, the bitter feud between the two women appears to have put an end to their once-close friendship once and for all — and prompted Scheana to take drastic action. when it comes to cutting all ties with her castmate.
While the Bravo star is firm in her decision to cut Raquel out of her life, she admits that the end of their friendship isn’t something she ever saw coming.
“No one could have said anything negative about her to me [before this happened]Scheana says of Raquel in her new podcast interview. ‘Even a month ago. She was my girlfriend. Now there’s a restraining order.”
Scheana added that seeing the truth while watching this season was a “complete mind f**k” as it brought to life the truth about what was going on behind all the cast members’ backs.
That realization was all the more painful for Scheana, as she said she had always been the person who had supported Raquel through thick and thin.
“I was just team Raquel,” she shared. “The looking back, you know, there’s nothing normal about going back in time and reliving it like you’re a fly on the wall. To be on the other side was such a mindf**k because I really didn’t know that was happening.”

The on-screen co-stars were once so close that when it came time for Scheana to choose who would serve as maid of honor at her wedding to Brock Davies in August 2022, Raquel was one of the few women she asked — a choice that she made clear. she is now sorry.
To make matters worse, Scheana now believes that Raquel helped drive a wedge between her and another of her former friends, Katie Maloney, who did not attend the August ceremony.
Scheana’s friendship with Katie has been incredibly rocky over the years — but looking back, she says Raquel may have played a key role in their feud.
“When I go back, I wish I had more conversations with Katie,” says Scheana. “I got all my information about her second-hand, mostly from Raquel. So the version was just very skewed.
“I wish I had a little more empathy for what Katie was going through at the time. Because of what Raquel told me, I wanted nothing to do with her.”
Although the affair between Sandoval and Raquel came to light in March, the story actually began in December 2021 when Raquel and her Pump Rules co-star fiancé, James Kennedy, called it quits.
Coincidentally, Sandoval helped James pop the question to Raquel with an over-the-top proposition.
To further complicate the dynamic between the group, Raquel ended up enjoying a brief fling at Scheana and Brock’s wedding – not with Sandoval but with his best friend, Tom Schwartz.

But Raquel wasn’t at all bothered by the fact that she broke girl code by having sex with her boyfriend’s husband. In fact, she flirted with him all season.
The whole vile affair came to a head last month, when Ariana officially ended her nine-year relationship with Sandoval, revealing that she had found text messages sent between him and Raquel, which undeniably showed that the pair had been in an illicit relationship behind her back. . .
