Vanderpump Rules Spoilers  – Raquel Hits ‘Rock Bottom’

And Bethenny, 52, summed it all up for Raquel. “You hit rock bottom,” suggested the RHONY alum. And Raquel agreed, “Yes.” 

But Leviss seemed just as certain about if she will return to Vanderpump Rules. And she claimed, “Hell no.” But she also defended her affair in some ways. And Raquel explained that she suffered when she decided to begin a secret affair with Tom Sandoval amid his nine-year relationship with her supposed friend Ariana Madix, 38.

However, Leviss admitted that she began the affair at a time when she searched for happiness. But she added, “I don’t ever want to be in a place like that again. And I will make sure that I don’t put myself in a situation like that again.”

Because so many people trusted her and believed in her, Raquel feels disappointed in herself. And she admitted to destroying friendships and betraying her now-former friends. “I look back at my actions,” reflected Raquel. “And I’m disappointed in myself as well.”

However, Lisa Vanderpump also confirmed that Raquel will not return. And Lisa believes that Leviss should not return because the cast doesn’t “believe anything she says. She talked about it [coming back]. Her team reached out,” added Lisa. “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].”
