Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Set to Tackle Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval’s Cheating Drama
Fans of the hit reality TV series “Vanderpump Rules” can rejoice as the show gears up for its eleventh season. This time around, viewers can expect a rollercoaster of emotions as the aftermath of Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal takes center stage.
Back in March 2023, the news broke that Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix had decided to end their nearly decade-long relationship due to Sandoval’s infidelity. This unexpected turn of events led to the cameras rolling once more, capturing every detail of the ensuing drama for a new season finale.
Cast members weighed in on how the show adapted to the unfolding events surrounding Sandoval and Raquel. Lala Kent, in a May 2023 episode of her “Give Them Lala” podcast, addressed the situation, admitting that the initial episodes were missing a key ingredient. She explained, “I told you guys that we did not have any editing placed in the episode until Scandoval happened. I did speak too soon. Now remember, what I see beforehand is not always what makes it onto the television screen.”
Lala then shared her perspective on how Raquel’s storyline evolved as more details emerged about her dating life. “She would have won the season. She would have been the No. 1 chick as she is sobbing about making up for lost time,” Lala noted, referring to the model’s emotional confessions regarding her breakup with James Kennedy. She raised the question, “Do we think she was crying so heavily because she was feeling guilty? The line was crossed well before they had sex. The emotional affair had already started.”
Despite the criticisms, Lala added, “As much as I slam her every chance I get, beyond that I do see a broken person. I do not think she is heartless and soulless.”
As for Raquel, she made headlines for a different reason. Following the cheating scandal, she entered a mental health facility to take care of her well-being. Emerging from the facility in August 2023, Raquel confirmed that she would not be a part of season 11.
So, as “Vanderpump Rules” returns for its eleventh season, fans can anticipate a season filled with drama, emotion, and unexpected twists. Stay tuned for more updates on the show’s latest installment.
