I might love to begin this off by saying Kristen Doute has entered the chat. But the Vanderpump Rules alum virtually began the chat when Scandoval broke. Kristen was the primary to publish a pic with Ariana Madix after she came upon about boyfriend Tom Sandoval’s surprising infidelity with Raquel Leviss.
People reported that Kristen had some ideas to share about Raquel and the VPR group. She appeared on an “emergency” episode of Scheana Shay’s Scheananigans podcast. Said Kristen of Raquel, “I have always thought that she and James [Kennedy] are on the same exact level of being an opportunist.”
She added, “I had to remind myself that she was a fan of the show before she was on the show. And not that that makes everyone that way, but like, she didn’t organically really fit in with the group ever, at all.”
Kristen, who had long-term relationships with each Sandy and James, solely lately determined to just accept Raquel. “I chose — what was it, maybe a year ago — to stop hating Raquel or, like, hating on her,” Kristen famous.
The writer and podcast host mentioned that her first actual dialog with Raquel was throughout Lala Kent’s first party for daughter Ocean Kent Emmett. Kristen recalled, “That day at Ocean’s birthday party was like the most intelligent and well-spoken and put-together I had ever heard her be, without kind of barely blinking her eyes and just opening her mouth.”
Kristen went on to muse, “Just like these weird, dumb stares where I’m like, Why are you just looking at me like that? Like, What? Is your brain catching up? Like, I’m confused.” Lol. I feel we have been all confused by Raquel at one level.
Lala, who was additionally current for the episode, questioned if Raquel “had an actual conversation with anybody without short circuiting?” My guess might be not. Then once more, I suppose Raquel stopped brief circuiting sufficient to enamor Sandy for the final 7 months.
While the information of Sandy’s betrayal remains to be recent, Andy Cohen instantly deployed cameras to catch the drama. The affair will probably be featured within the present season of VPR, which is airing now. Additionally, the VPR reunion is scheduled to movie in simply two brief weeks.
Aside from the unprecedented rigidity, there’s additionally only one teeny tiny drawback with the much-anticipated reunion. Raquel’s order of safety in opposition to Scheana after accusing her of a “physical attack.” Scheana allegedly hit Raquel as soon as she came upon in regards to the information. The incident allegedly occurred proper after showing together with her on an episode of Watch What Happens Live.
Raquel produced footage of her eye. One image featured a bandage on it and the others present a small gash on her eyebrow space. Scheana has vehemently denied she hit Raquel, saying that her claims are “a fabrication.”
But Lala thinks extra security measures will probably be taken. “Security will definitely be amped up at the reunion,” she famous.
Scheana quipped, “We need to have cages. Everyone needs their own personal bodyguards.” But the VPR OG forged member in all probability wasn’t laughing the following day. Raquel filed the order simply in the future after Scheana recorded the podcast.
Raquel, a former magnificence queen, is now often known as one of many largest VPR villains of all time. In a forged filled with villains. So that’s saying so much.
Shortly after Scandoval broke, Raquel informed People, “Besides the indefensible circumstances surrounding our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been sincere and born out of a loving friendship. Knowing how many people we hurt, I need to understand my choices and learn to make better ones.” A press release she additionally echoed in a publish on her Instagram account.
Aside from being public enemy primary, Raquel remains to be attempting to maintain a sexually specific video below wraps. It’s the identical video that Ariana allegedly discovered that uncovered the entire affair.
In an effort to maintain it non-public, Raquel despatched authorized notices to her castmates, together with Ariana and Sandy, with a warning to not share the video. A supply informed People that Ariana allegedly screen-recorded the video and despatched it to herself. Her reasoning for doing so is unclear, however her must have proof isn’t precisely shocking.
The discover, despatched by Raquel’s lawyer, claimed that the video was recorded “illegally” and “without the permission” of Raquel. Her counsel additionally suggested anybody who has the recording to delete it from any “method in which the recording may exist.”
Understandably, nobody on the podcast addressed whether or not or not they’d seen or have been in possession of the video.
