Yes, the Tom Sandoval-Raquel Leviss cheating scandal may have been a real pain for those who experienced it firsthand.
But let’s be honest, this whole thing is really fun Vanderpump Rules fans!
The relationship between Tom and Raquel has a ripple effect that affects every member now Vanderpump cast and quite a few former stars.
One of the more interesting subplots emerging from all of this is Raquel’s accusations against Scheana Shay.
In case you missed it, the night news of their relationship went public, Scheana and Raquel were in New York filming an episode of Watch What Happens Live.
Raquel said Scheana punched her and gave her a black eye after she found out about the relationship.
Scheana says that’s total BS, and insists she never laid a finger on Raquel.
Anyway, Raquel has been granted a temporary restraining order against Scheana, and that could create some problems for the Bravo bosses.
You see, highly anticipated Vanderpump The season 10 reunion is set to film on March 23.
And the first hearing on Raquel’s restraining order against Scheana won’t take place until March 29.
This means that these two will not work at the same time.
This is a major issue, as this is the most anticipated reunion Vanderpump history, and host Andy Cohen definitely wants the whole cast involved.
Fortunately, there is a workable solution.
And it comes to us courtesy of Scheana’s lawyer, who hilariously compared Raquel in the comments by calling her by her real name, Rachel.

“The temporary restraining order, as it stands, currently prohibits Scheana from being within 100 yards of Rachel so that she cannot physically participate in the reunion,” said her lawyer Neama Rahmani in a recent interview with People magazine.
“Rachel has not only betrayed her friends, but she has sabotaged this reunion because it can’t happen in a meaningful way while this order is in place,” Rahmani said.
“There is no mechanism to change this temporary civil ban order before the hearing so the reunion, at least having it all together, is always in jeopardy.”
Rahmani said Leviss and Shay will “have to film [the reunion] separately or virtually.”
He added that Raquel had “created chaos for her friends and for the show” by filing for the restraining order.
Yes, make a mess like Raquel is doing now.
But hey, they might get it Vanderpump another five seasons with all that messiness, so maybe her castmates should thank you!
