At Vanderpump Rules The reunion was filmed there.
And when the event is dramatized by the surprising relationship between Tom Sandoval and Rachel Lewisit is more complicated by the fact that Raquel filed a restraining order against him Scheana Shaywho allegedly attacked her after the relationship was closed.
According to a series of new reports, which came as Bravo confirmed the set of seating charts for the show, the producers were forced to restructure the taping to ensure that no legal violations were committed by cast members.
“It’s going to be done like before,” a source told Entertainment Tonight on March 23. “Lots of logistics have gone into preparing for the event. Raquel and Scheana will both attend the reunion but are not allowed within 100 yards of each other.
“Each will film with the cast at separate times, and when they’re not filming, they’ll be set in different locations,” the insider said. “There was discussion that they could do a video call when they weren’t on set, but because of the order that Raquel filed against Scheana, they couldn’t handle each other.”
Below is the seating chart for Pump Rules season 10 reunion.
Another source told Entertainment Tonight that when the cast will confront Sandoval and Raquel for the first time, the shocking betrayal begins. Ariana MadixBravo has always warned its stars not to get physical.
“Bravo has let some of the cast know and plans to remind them on set that filming the reunion is a safe place, and no matter how disappointing it is, no one should hold anyone back. Security will be on set,” he said.
The report goes on to say that the host Andy Cohen plans to “do a sit-down with them, together or separately depending on how.”
“There was also talk of Raquel getting some alone time with or without Sandoval,” the insider added.
And according to TMZ, Andy actually hosted individual interviews with Sandoval, Raquel, and Ariana.
As for Raquel and Scheana, he noted that the woman will be held in the trailer, watching the livestream of the recording, while the other is on set.
In a third report from The US Sun, the situation surrounding Raquel and Scheana is more detailed.
“It could be anything from both of them now but separately, Scheana seems to be almost or both of them showed up at separate times,” the insider said.
As producers prepared to record earlier this week, “minute-to-minute” changes were made.
As for how Scheana is handling the legal drama with Raquel, her attorney says she’s “exhausted.”
“He was so broken. They don’t know why someone would do this, why someone would make this false report,” the lawyer said. “They’ve been very close for years and when someone does this, it’s just confusing and amazing, and they can’t wrap their head around it.”
Lawyers then revealed what the future will look like after the women appear in court on March 29.
“If there’s no permanent restraining order, then this will all go away next week and it’s business as usual. If there’s a permanent restraining order, it’ll be like any other reality TV star who’s been convicted and jailed. I mean, basically you can’t participate, or you have to participate yourself, so I don’t know how. [Bravo’s] going to work.”
US Sun also spoke with Couples Therapy‘s Dr. Jen Mannwhich reacts to the potential future of Sandoval and Raquel.
“They both seem like they could use some time to do some insight work and better understand why they made unhealthy choices and hurt so many people. But I suspect that because of the secret nature of their relationship and the high level of excitement, they won’t stop,” he said. “The dynamic of that relationship is addictive.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
