Andy Cohen of Vanderpump Rules Shared His Thoughts on Cast Member’s Decision Not to Return
In a recent exclusive interview, Andy Cohen expressed his support for Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, also known as Raquel, for choosing not to return to Vanderpump Rules for season 11. Cohen stated, “I think it’s a personal decision. If that was the healthiest move for her, I respect looking at it and saying, ‘This was not something that brought out the best in me so I’m going to choose something else.’”
Despite Leviss’ absence, Cohen hinted that the upcoming episodes will be a wild ride, stating that he is “very excited for people to see Vanderpump Rules [season 11].” The season will pick up where the drama left off and focus on the shifting relationships and growth among the cast members.
Leviss’ decision came after she had checked herself into a mental health facility following a scandal involving her and Tom Sandoval. She admitted to having no plans to return to the Bravo series, expressing that she did not want to endure emotional abuse any longer. Additionally, the network’s refusal to provide her with a bigger paycheck also contributed to Leviss’ ultimate decision.
The cheating scandal involving Leviss and Sandoval caused a stir among fans and cast members, and their decisions in the aftermath will play a significant role in season 11. Cohen revealed that filming started months after Sandoval and his girlfriend at the time, Ariana Madix, called it quits due to his affair with Leviss. The show will explore the aftermath of this fallout among the Vanderpump Rules cast members.
Aside from discussing the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules, Cohen also shared details about his collaboration with Walmart+ for their Save Your Resolutions campaign. The campaign aims to help people save their New Year’s resolutions and achieve their goals by offering time and money-saving memberships. By signing up with Walmart+, members can enjoy benefits such as free grocery delivery and discounted fuel. Additionally, Cohen encouraged fans to sign up for Walmart+ before the end of January to receive $50 in Walmart cash.
