Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss in ‘talks with producers’ about appearing on show’s reunion

Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss is currently in “discussions with producers” about possibly appearing on the show’s next reunion, it reported. TMZ.

The 28-year-old former beauty pageant queen is reportedly discussing showing up to the meeting in person, according to the outlet, despite the ongoing Tom Sandoval and Adriana Madix cheating scandal.

News of a possible return comes shortly after sources told TMZ last week that the star had no intention of “participating” in the reunion, which is set to begin filming later this month on March 23.

One issue that arises regarding the reunion is that Raquel currently has a restraining order against another co-star, Scheana Shay, after alleging that he had hit her after news of the infidelity broke earlier this month.

However, sources told the entertainment outlet that the Bravo network is “willing” to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the order is not violated if Leviss participates in the filming.

According page sixLeviss’ restraining order, which lasts until the end of March, when the court hearing is scheduled to begin, has put the Season 10 reunion in jeopardy.

Scheana’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani, opened up to the public in an article published on Wednesday and accused Raquel of ‘sabotaging’ the hit show.

“It just can’t happen in any meaningful way while this order is in place,” Rahmani added to the post.

“The temporary restraining order, as it stands now, currently prohibits Scheana from being within 100 yards of Rachel, so they cannot be physically present at the meeting,” the lawyer explained. Rachel is known as Raquel’s legal name.

He further stated that, ‘there really is no mechanism to modify this type of temporary civil restraining order prior to the [March 29 court] audience, so the reunion, at least having them all together in person, is certainly in jeopardy.

The lawyer concluded that with the restraining order in place at the time of the meeting, “Scheana is still unable to communicate with Rachel, either directly or through an intermediary.”

Raquel claimed that Scheana had punched her in the face, giving her a black eye, as well as pushing her against a wall, which she claimed had caused head injuries.

However, Rahmani came to Shay’s defense and told him TMZ, ‘This case is the fabrication of a known liar and cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her. Scheana never hit Rachel (Raquel), period.

The alleged altercation took place a week after Tom Sandoval and Raquel’s affair broke out, resulting in Ariana Madix ending her nine-year relationship with Tom.

Madix had discovered the alleged infidelity when she found an intimate FaceTime video between her then-boyfriend and Raquel on her phone, according to People.

Both parties involved in the infidelity have issued their own public apologies. Early last week, Leviss expressed in a statement to entertainment tonight“I want to apologize for my actions and my choices first and foremost to Ariana, my friends and the fans who are so invested in our relationships.”

‘There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I am deeply sorry that I hurt Ariana. I reflect on my choices, talk to a counselor, and learn things about myself, like my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved.’

She continued, “I have sought emotional validation through unhealthy intimate connections with no regard for my own well-being, sometimes negatively affecting others, and often prioritizing intimate connection over my friendships.” I am taking steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices.’

The reality star added that while she knows the “good and bad” of being in the public eye, she stated that she has been “physically assaulted, lost friends, received death threats and hate mail, as well as having my privacy violated.” “.

Raquel concluded her statement by revealing that she began receiving counselling, later adding: “Right now, I need to focus on my own health and well-being and as I strive to be a better person in the future, I will prioritize my mental health and learn from myself. mistakes.’

Tom also broke his silence and also issued an apology earlier this month explaining that “I made mistakes, I was selfish and I made reckless decisions that hurt someone I love.” No one deserves to feel that pain in such a traumatic and public way.

The business owner added that he couldn’t “imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana” and that his love for her “was stronger than any camera could have captured.”

“I’m beyond sad that it ended the way it did,” he later concluded, adding, “The decisions I made hurt so many people.” I acted in a way that clashes with who and how I want to be…’

Earlier this month, Tom was seen attending therapy in a Los Angeles office amid the cheating scandal.

On Wednesday, Ariana also broke her silence about the alleged affair and sent her thanks to her family and close friends, as well as the people who gave her the strength to carry on and got me through my darkest hours. to say that I have been devastated and broken is an understatement.’

‘However, I know that I am not alone in this. Many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss at this time and reeling from this betrayal on many levels.

I am so fucking lucky to have the best support system in the world and I look forward to repaying each person for the love they have shown me. what doesn’t kill me better run ‘, she concluded motivated.
