Lisa Vanderpump Reveals If She's Talked to Raquel Leviss Since Scandoval

On Thursday night (May 18), the 62-year-old reality star hosted the 2023 Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, Calif.

While arriving at the event, Lisa revealed if she’s spoken to Raquel, 28, since the fallout of her affair with Tom Sandoval.

“I haven’t had any contact with Raquel,” Lisa revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “I think she really needs to discuss with us what’s going on in her life, but Sandoval’s been part of that group for 15 years prior. You know, four years prior to the show. So, of course, there’s conversations and questions to be answered, and I hope they can get to that place. That’s what I really hope for them.”

Lisa continued, “I don’t think you can just shut the door on somebody. I think we’re all guilty of some things… maybe not that. But I think at some point, there needs to be kind of discussions, and I think we’ll be there for it.”

Lisa also admitted it was “hard to watch” the season 10 finale when Ariana Madix finally found out that Tom, 40, had been carrying out a months long affair with Raquel.

“Well, it was so emotional,” Lisa said. “As you know, that was filmed quite a bit after we finished filming the season. And so, it’s just so raw, and it was hard for me to watch, because although as a producer you love all the ins and outs and shenanigans, when you’re emotionally invested in a group of people, my heart really broke — actually for both of them.”

Of course, what he did… it cannot be condoned in any way shape or form,” Lisa continued. “But still, to see the utter kind of misery and the devastation of the fallout, the relationship — it was hard to watch.”

Guests at the 2023 Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala included Paula Abdul, Kristin Chenoweth and fiance Josh Bryant, Bachelor Nation‘s Nick Viall and fiancee Natalie Joy, Garcelle Beauvais and son Oliver Saunders, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell, Shahs of Sunset star Reza Farahan and husband Adam Neely, Trixie Mattel, comedian Heather McDonald, Lance Bass and husband Michael Turchin, former Real Housewives of Orange County star Meghan King, Mario Lopez and wife Courtney, Bring It On actor Jesse Bradford and wife Andrea Watrouse, and Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa Gharachedaghi.
