Will the SUR group tighten its circle, or will Raquel return to Vanderpump Rules post-#Scandoval?
Now that we're all in on the Vanderpump Rules secret and the explosive three-part reunion has aired in full, we're curious if there's any hope for redemption following Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss' affair.
If you ask Ariana Madix, don't count on it. In her interview with The New York Times, the reality star said, "I have nothing to say to either of them. Our show is very real and follows a real group of friends, and neither of them are in the group of friends, so, good luck."
The animosity is still strong, so is it even worth it for Raquel—and Tom, for that matter—to make a comeback? Can Ariana and Raquel find their way back to one another and mend their friendship?
Will Raquel return to 'Vanderpump Rules'?
Although specifics are still murky, it looks like Raquel and the rest of the crew will return to Vanderpump Rules season 11, which is likely to start filming in the summer of 2023 (probably around the time Something About Her opens). As far as what's going to unfold? We don't have a crystal ball, but we're willing to bet it's going to be a bumpy ride.
When speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the show's executive producer, Alex Baskin, revealed that the plan is for the crew to move forward...but we don't know what that necessarily means. Truthfully, no one probably knows.
"Our plan is to launch into season 11 in a few weeks. It is within sight," he told the outlet. "As far as we're concerned at this point, the entire group will be back. The plan is that we will see how the group picks up the pieces from whatever it is you're seeing."
Considering it was an expletive-filled Vanderpump Rules reunion, we're not holding out hope for another glamping getaway or girls' trip to Vegas...at least with Raquel in tow. Perhaps Ally Lewber, James Kenndy's new girlfriend, will play a bigger role. Maybe we'll focus more on Ariana's clique than Tom and Raquel. Who knows!
As far as where Raquel Leviss is now, sources say she entered a mental health facility shortly after the reunion and has been there for nearly 70 days, according to US Weekly.
"Her treatment is helping her learn the basis of her decisions and to grow from her mistakes with the hope of making better choices and becoming a better person," the source noted. "Raquel looks forward to sharing her story with the unfiltered truth when she comes out."
It certainly sounds like she's gearing up for a return. In her confessional after the reunion, she did express interest in keeping her role on the Bravo series.
"Um, I don't know," she admitted when asked about season 11. "It's in question right now. I want to."
We'll have to wait for everything to hit our screens. Ariana, for her part, doesn't seem fazed.
"Part of me feels like, 'What’s the worst that can happen? The worst already did,'" she told The Times. "So going forward, it feels a little bit like, 'What can I not handle at this point?'"
