Andy Cohen's Shocking Revelation About Raquel Leviss at 'Pump Rules' Reunion

Andy Cohen has apologized for his remarks regarding Raquel Leviss' mental health during the Vanderpump Rules reunion. He acknowledged that it was wrong of him to speculate on her medication and expressed admiration for how she handled the criticism from her castmates. Cohen praised Leviss' resilience and strength in the face of relentless scrutiny.

Andy observed that Raquel's apparent lack of emotion seemed indicative of a larger issue. He expressed doubt that she would be able to endure the reunion and speculated that she might have left early and disappeared altogether, based on his extensive experience with such events. These comments caused quite a stir when the host discussed the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion in a recent video with Variety.

Upon seeing Raquel's lack of emotion at the reunion, my concern for her mental health only grew. It appeared to me that she may have been heavily medicated or disconnected from her involvement in the situation," the insider shared on June 7th. Raquel, who is currently seeking treatment for her mental health, has yet to publicly address the aftermath of her affair with Tom Sandoval. Following the news of his infidelity and subsequent split from Ariana Madix in March, the former beauty pageant queen began her journey towards healing and is reportedly still undergoing treatment.

According to an insider who spoke exclusively to Us, Raquel has been in a voluntary inpatient behavioral health and trauma facility for the past 68 days. The treatment is aimed at helping her understand the reasoning behind her decisions and learn from her mistakes, with the goal of becoming a better person and making better choices in the future. The source also revealed that Raquel has expressed remorse for her past actions, specifically her cheating scandal with Sandoval. Despite her mistakes, Raquel is eager to share her story with complete honesty once she completes her treatment program.

Since the reunion episodes aired, Vanderpump Rules stars like Lala Kent and Ariana, 37, have opened up about how their perspectives on the drama have shifted. Lala, who received public criticism for her confrontations with Raquel during the reunion, revealed that she initially felt ashamed after the taping. The Give Them Lala author, 32, shared her experience with TMZ on Thursday, June 8.

When asked by a videographer if her feelings towards Raquel had changed, the cofounder of Something About Her responded with empathy, saying "Sure, yeah." Meanwhile, during his radio show, Andy defended his decision to have Raquel walk out on her own at the reunion, stating that he wanted to have one-on-one interviews with her, Tom, and Ariana because he was unsure how long Raquel would last on set. He praised her for sitting through the difficult reunion and taking everything in.

During a recent interview, the host of Watch What Happens Live disclosed that some of the questions he posed during the reunion episode were left out of the final edit. He specifically mentioned inquiring about Raquel's conversation with Ariana during the glamping trip, both in a one-on-one setting and in front of the group. Despite the abundance of material, these particular exchanges did not ultimately make it onto the show.
