Andy Cohen feels there’s a particular purpose why Raquel Leviss appeared stone-faced all through the Vanderpump Rules reunion.
For those that someway haven’t seen the episodes but, the 28-year-old former pageant queen confirmed zero emotion on her face throughout a lot of the three-part reunion. She didn’t shed even one single tear whereas her now-former greatest pal Scheana Shay sobbed over the tip of their friendship and restraining order debacle! And many followers had been surprised and even a tad scared by her lack of emotion within the episodes. Now, Andy is weighing in on the matter!
While talking to Variety in regards to the three-part reunion, the 55-year-old Bravo govt producer was bowled over by her displaying little or no emotion – to the purpose the place he thought she was probably “medicated” through the present. He defined:
“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 really medicated or really out of touch with her role in everything.”

But Andy was much more baffled by her response to Scheana’s heartbreak over the dishonest scandal and restraining order:
“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 and it made me think that, maybe, there was something she was missing about what these relationships were. It made me think that, maybe, she didn’t think they were as real as the other people thought. I didn’t understand.”
You would suppose Raquel would have proven some form of regret, particularly when watching her associates break down in tears over her affair with Tom Sandoval! Even Scheana was puzzled by the SUR waitress’ “bizarre” impassive response, saying:
“For her to sit there and see me sobbing, and to just be buckling her shoe, and watching, blank stare, vacant, like, lights on, no one’s home. I mean, bizarre. I could have never imagined that reaction because Raquel, who I was friends with, wasn’t that person. I felt like she was someone who genuinely cared and could feel emotion.”
And now, the 38-year-old has been “mourning the loss of my friendship with Raquel and asking myself who the f**k Rachel is.” Friendship breakups are already brutal! Add in the truth that the rationale their relationship ended was as a result of her ex-pal’s affair along with her different greatest pal’s boyfriend, we can not think about how harm Scheana’s been feeling these previous few months.
Executive producer Alex Baskin additionally spoke out about Raquel’s on-camera demeanor. He famous how her lack of reactions almost certainly helped her get by a tricky day of dealing with her solid members, explaining:
“Raquel and Scheana’s different demeanors in their trailers reflect them as a whole. Scheana was really intense and agitated. And I think one of Raquel’s traits that I think is driving a little bit of fire is that she seems very leveled. In some ways that helped her that day because it helped her get through a very difficult day. But sometimes — where it does her a disservice is — it seems she’s maybe not affected by what is happening or doesn’t care. She would maintain otherwise but she had a very calm and leveled demeanor.”
Fortunately, Raquel has been searching for therapy at a psychological well being facility since April. But she reportedly plans on “sharing her story with the unfiltered truth” as soon as she leaves. Perhaps, she’ll reply some questions on her lack of feelings through the reunion then. You can check out the Variety interview (under):
