Raquel Leviss shared a story about a conversation she had with Lala Kent regarding a potential romance with Oliver Saunders to Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval. In a sneak peek clip of Vanderpump Rules: Secrets Revealed, Leviss explains that while at dinner at Vanderpump Paris, Oliver, their waiter, brought out fancy drinks. Lala mentioned how cute Oliver's smile was, and after he joined their conversation, Leviss admitted to also finding him attractive.
Raquel explains to the former couple that the founder of Give Them Lala, who is 32 years old, informed her that she was not interested in pursuing Oliver, who is also 32 years old, and gave her the permission to approach him. The two of them ended up kissing on the dance floor. Later, Lala pulled Raquel aside to discuss the matter. According to Raquel, the conversation took a negative turn and Lala expressed her discomfort about having Raquel around her man. In response, Raquel retorted that it's fortunate that Lala doesn't have a man.

Raquel sought professional help for her mental health after the intense reunion filming in April. According to sources, she voluntarily entered a behavioral health and trauma facility and continues to receive treatment for her wellbeing. Her focus is on understanding the root of her decisions and learning from her mistakes to make better choices and become a better person.
