In the world of reality television, drama often follows even after the cameras stop rolling. Lisa Vanderpump, former star of “Vanderpump Rules,” recently shared her thoughts on Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ decision to address her past on her podcast, “Rachel Goes Rogue,” shedding light on Leviss’ controversial affair with Tom Sandoval.
In an exclusive interview with E! News while promoting her upcoming appearance on Gordon Ramsay’s “Food Stars,” Vanderpump remained poised and diplomatic, offering her perspective on Leviss’ choice to speak out. Acknowledging Leviss’ right to share her side of the story, Vanderpump suggested that doing so within the context of “Vanderpump Rules” might have been a more appropriate platform.
Despite Leviss’ departure from the Bravo series and her subsequent podcast revelations, Vanderpump maintained a level of grace, refraining from harsh criticism and instead expressing her views with tact. She emphasized that while Leviss may be entitled to her opinions and experiences, the Bravo show could have provided a more conducive environment for addressing the situation.
Vanderpump’s response showcased her ability to navigate sensitive topics with poise and maturity, even in the face of controversy. Rather than engaging in a war of words, she chose to offer constructive feedback while maintaining a level of professionalism.
When questioned about Leviss’ next career move, Vanderpump humorously suggested a return to Leviss’ roots as a beauty queen—a lighthearted comment that underscored her knack for injecting humor into even the most serious discussions.
Despite Leviss’ insinuations on her podcast regarding Sandoval’s involvement in orchestrating their relationship for the sake of the show, Vanderpump refrained from adding fuel to the fire, opting instead to focus on her upcoming projects and maintaining her composure.
As Vanderpump continues to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of reality television, her measured response to Leviss’ podcast shade serves as a testament to her unwavering professionalism and class. In a world often characterized by drama and controversy, Vanderpump’s ability to rise above the fray sets a commendable example for others in the industry.
