Will Raquel Leviss return for 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11?
No, Raquel is not joining 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11. She revealed it in one of the episodes of Bethenny Frankel's 'ReWives' podcast.
Variety reports Raquel claiming that she did not receive any additional compensation from Bravo for the #Scandoval as she was thrust into the spotlight at the time. She said, "I haven’t seen a single penny. It’s not fair."
The star went on to claim, "I feel like I’ve been portrayed as the ultimate villain. My mistakes that I’ve made on camera live on forever."
She further said to the interviewer, "And you mentioned something about the addiction of doing reality TV and the way that they always dangle that carrot in front of you, like, 'Well, you need to tell your side of the story otherwise it’s gonna be written for you.' And that’s terrifying. So I almost went back, I know just because of that."
Are Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix still together?
In July 2023, it was reported that Ariana Madix and Tom are still living together in their Los Angeles home despite the highly publicized breakup.
