NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Andy Cohen shared his thoughts on Raquel Leviss' appearance on the explosive 'Vanderpump Rules' reunion. The Bravo executive said she may have been "medicated" at the set.
"I was worried for Raquel’s mental health going into the reunion. I mean, I still am. But actually, when I saw how unemotional she was, it made me think she was either really medicated or really out of touch with her role in everything," Cohen said during the 'Making A Scene' episode by Variety which also featured Scheana Shay.
'I never could have imagined that reaction'
The talk show host who hosted the show's Season 10 special also talked about the former pageant queen's comment on her former friend Shay being emotional during the three-part reunion. "When Scheana is crying her eyes out and [Raquel] says in the trailer, 'I should have written her a note' — I found that very confusing. It made me think that maybe there was something she was missing about what these relationships were," the 55-year-old host said before adding, "It made me think that maybe she didn’t think they were as real as the other people thought. I didn’t understand."
Shay also commented on Leviss' response and her aloof state. "It was lights on, no one’s home. [It was] bizarre. I never could have imagined that reaction because Raquel who I was friends with wasn’t that person," said the 38-year-old star.
'I hate being deceitful, it’s horrible'
Toward the end of the reunion, Leviss expressed her apology for the cheating scandal and revealed she and Sandoval, 40, had been sleeping together for a long time. During the conversation with Cohen, the 28-year-old star also confessed she had sex with Sandoval in the farmhouse in California he shared with his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix. "This has f*****g killed my soul. I’m so sick of lying, I hate it. I hate being deceitful, it’s horrible," she admitted. Leviss also claimed that she was encouraged by Sandoval to not be truthful about the timeline of their affair to make it "less hurtful" to Madix, according to Page Six.
After the news of the scandal broke out, Leviss broke her silence for the first time in March months before the reunion was filmed. "I want to apologize for my actions and my choices, foremost to Ariana [Madix] and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships," said Leviss. "There is no excuse. I am not a victim, and I must own my actions, and I deeply regret hurting Ariana," she added.
