Lisa Vanderpump Claps Back at Raquel Leviss in Epic Showdown
When it comes to reality TV drama, the feud between Lisa Vanderpump and Raquel Leviss is heating up! The former "Vanderpump Rules" star, Leviss, recently made some bold statements about returning to the show, sparking a fiery response from the iconic Vanderpump herself.
Vanderpump wasted no time in hitting back at Leviss, who had mentioned that she would only consider coming back to the show if they paid for her therapy. Vanderpump, in an interview with Us Weekly, didn't hold back, stating, "She said that, but I think she has had a therapist on hand the whole time through filming."
The matriarch of "Vanderpump Rules" also highlighted Bravo's efforts to support the cast members, emphasizing that they are always available for emotional support during filming.
Leviss, who faced backlash for her past affair with co-star Tom Sandoval, decided not to return for Season 11. Despite expressing interest in a comeback for Season 12, Vanderpump doubts the feasibility of reintegrating Leviss into the cast.
Vanderpump candidly expressed, "Itβs hard to integrate somebody into a situation like this... Sheβs had a lot of negative things to say about 'Vanderpump Rules,' about producers, about NBC. So, I think we can safely say that ship has sailed."
Leviss had previously stated that an "all-expenses-paid therapy" arrangement would be necessary for her return to the show. She emphasized the importance of mental health and authenticity in her decision-making process.
However, a source close to Leviss clarified that her comments were taken out of context and that she has no intention of rejoining the show. The source also disputed claims of mental health support for the cast during Leviss' time on the show.
While Leviss has closed the chapter on "Vanderpump Rules," she hinted at potential future TV projects, suggesting an interest in competition shows. She remains active on her podcast, "Rachel Goes Rogue," where she continues to address past controversies and relationships.
In a recent legal battle involving revenge porn allegations against Sandoval and Madix, Leviss has been vocal about seeking justice and protecting her privacy. Despite the challenges, she remains resilient in her pursuit of closure.
As Leviss navigates her post-reality TV journey from Arizona, where she now resides, her story serves as a reminder of the complexities of fame and the importance of mental well-being in the spotlight.
While the drama between Vanderpump and Leviss unfolds, fans eagerly await the next chapter in this reality TV saga. Stay tuned for more updates on this riveting feud!
