In an interview with TMZLisa Vanderpump confirmed that Rachel “Raquel” Leviss will not be a part of the upcoming “Vanderpump Rules” season 11, despite early signs of interest from Leviss.

Vanderpump revealed to the outlet that she has discussed filming a one-on-one interview with Leviss to delve into her growth and experience in a mental health facility in the wake of the Scandoval affair.

“When he was at the facility, his team was texting and emailing us,” Vanderpump shared. “We want to make sure he’s in a good place first and I’ll go one-on-one with him.” He continued, “He talked about it [coming back]. His team reached out, but in the end, I think he decided not to.”

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum noted that bringing Leviss back on set with the cast wouldn’t work “because most, if not all, of the cast don’t believe anything that comes out of Rachel’s mouth.”

When asked what she had to say about people who believed the show wouldn’t have “made it” without Leviss, Vanderpump replied, “Huh, it made it before him. Before he joined and connected with James [Kennedy].”

Vanderpump also dismissed Leviss’ claim that Tom Sandoval was offered a producer credit for season 11, which a Bravo spokesperson also confirmed was untrue.

In a recent appearance on an episode of “Real Housewives of New York” alum Bethenny Frankel’s “Just B” podcast, Leviss made a powerful revelation. She claims Sandoval benefited from the Bravo show’s success following Scandoval’s explosive affair as she faced financial problems and mental health challenges.

The former beauty queen pointed out that Sandoval mentioned being offered a producer credit for Season 11 during negotiations, despite not holding an official producer role.

Sharing his perspective, Leviss said, “So, I think he was rewarded for the Skandoval of it all. To me, that’s kind of cruel because it seems — it makes me doubt.” He questioned whether it was planned for a specific outcome, adding, “Is this really something designed for this end result?”

However, Bravo has denied Leviss’ claims, stating that Sandoval was never offered a producer credit or had any say in editing “Vanderpump Rules.

During the podcast conversation, Leviss also lashed out at the network, claiming they profited from his “mistake.” He expressed disappointment at not receiving any financial compensation for the scandal, stating, “The network ran to the bank — like, laugh, ran to the bank with this scandal — and I didn’t see a dime.”

Leviss labeled the situation unfair, adding, “I feel like a little kid saying, ‘It’s not fair!’ But not really. And I think I’ve been portrayed as the main villain. The mistakes I made on camera will live forever.”

In response to Leviss’ claims of not getting paid, Vanderpump responded by revealing that Leviss made a lot of money during Season 10. Vanderpump mentioned that Leviss made $361,000 that season and stated that he was “very well paid.”

An insider source confirmed to TMZ that Leviss earned about $20,000 per episode for this season.

During her podcast conversation, Leviss reiterated her earlier claims that Sandoval had secretly recorded explicit videos of her without her consent. He revealed that he had taken the daring step of having phone sex with his former flame while in New York and Sandoval in Los Angeles.

Describing the situation, she revealed, “Tom and I did a lot of FaceTime, so it turned into a more intimate FaceTime. I expected to have privacy during that time, so that happened.

The reality star insisted that he was unaware Sandoval was filming until his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, found the video on Sandoval’s phone that same night and sent it to Leviss.

Recounting the moment, Leviss explained, “I got a text from Ariana who sent two screen-captured videos and a text that said, ‘You’re dead to me,’ and that’s how I knew she knew.”

She added, “And then also that’s how I found out I was being recorded without my consent, so of course all these emotions came flooding back to me.”
