Lisa Vanderpump has confirmed that Raquel Leviss will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules.
After months of speculation on whether or not Raquel Leviss would return for another season of Vanderpump Rules, Bravo fans finally have their answer.
On Thursday, Lisa Vanderpump confirmed that Raquel Leviss would not be back for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
“When she was in the facility, her team texted and emailed us,” Lisa Vanderpump told TMZ. “We wanted to make sure she was in a good place first, and I was going to do a one-on-one with her.”
“She talked about it [coming back]. Her team reached out, but in the end, I think she decided not to. The cast don’t really believe anything she says, so there’s no point in her [return],” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum added.
When questioned about why Raquel wouldn’t be returning to Pump Rules, Lisa quipped: “I don’t know. I don’t really understand anything she does.”
This news comes in the wake of Raquel’s bombshell interview with Bethenny Frankel on her Just B podcast.
During part two of Raquel’s sitdown with Bethenny, she claimed that Tom Sandoval was offered a producer credit for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules as a reward for Scandoval.
“I think he was being rewarded for the Scandoval of it all,” Raquel claimed. “He’s not technically a producer. He’s been on the series from day one, Season 1.”
“I don’t know if I’m even able to disclose this information, but he did tell me during negotiations for Season 11 that he was offered a producer credit for Season 11,” she added.
However, Lisa Vanderpump laughed off Raquel’s claims about Sandoval being a producer for season 11, calling the accusation “hilarious.”
“No, he’s not going to be a producer. I’m the executive producer and creator of the show, and I never heard that before. But I don’t really understand anything she says,” she continued.
Vanderpump Rules will return to Bravo for season 11 in 2024.
