Raquel Leviss, known for her appearance on Vanderpump Rules, is reportedly still in contract negotiations with Bravo regarding her return to the show. Despite rumors of her signing on for another season, TMZ states that the negotiations are ongoing, and Raquel is holding out for more money.
According to Page Six, Raquel is playing hardball in order to secure the highest possible paycheck. The cast of Vanderpump Rules is scheduled to go on a trip to Lake Tahoe soon, and it is hoped that Raquel and Bravo will have reached a deal by then, allowing her to join the cast on the trip.
However, it’s not just about the money for Raquel. After spending several months in a mental health treatment facility, she is genuinely concerned for her well-being. The recent Vanderpump Rules reunion, where the cast did not hold back, was particularly difficult for her to watch.
The insider revealed that watching the reunion was excruciating for Raquel. The other women on the show reportedly tore her apart and made hurtful comments, which deeply affected her. She is taking her mental health seriously and wants to ensure that she is in a good place before returning to the intense environment of the show.
The timing of Raquel’s contract negotiations is interesting, as Vanderpump Rules has been nominated for its first Emmy award. The show’s last season, which prominently featured the storyline of Tom Sandoval cheating on Ariana Madix with Raquel, has gained recognition. This positions Raquel in a strong position for negotiation.
As fans eagerly await updates on Raquel’s contract negotiations, her future on Vanderpump Rules remains uncertain. Her experiences and personal growth during her time away from the show will likely factor into her decision, as she considers both her well-being and the opportunity for financial gain.
