Rachel Lewis seems on the fence about whether he will participate in the future Vanderpump Rules reunion.
According to a new report, Raquel, who is in a relationship with Tom Sandoval was found earlier this month, away from production last week, telling people close to him that he did not plan to attend the reunion before finally hearing.
On March 16, TMZ revealed that Raquel is currently in discussions with producers about appearing on the taping — and doing it in person instead of on Zoom.
As Pump Rules fans have certainly heard, Raquel proposed to restrain him Scheana Shay on March 7, accusing her castmate of assaulting her in New York City, which Scheana has denied. So, while filming the reunion with all the cast members present, this was impossible because Scheana had to stay at least 100 yards away from Raquel at least until the court hearing on March 29th.
Although they will definitely have to make some changes, the network will be willing to work with Raquel’s restraining order against Scheana to avoid any violations, which could mean Scheana will be forced out.
As Pump Rules producers trying to get out the details of the upcoming recording, believed to take place on March 23, Scheana’s lawyer who accused Raquel of “sabotaging” specifically and creating a “mess” both for “friends and for the show.”
“The temporary restraining order, as it stands now, prohibits Scheana from coming within 100 yards of Rachel from attending the reunion,” Neama Rahmani said in a statement to PEOPLE on March 14. “Rachel has not only betrayed her friends, but she has sabotaged this reunion by not allowing it to happen in a meaningful way while this order is in place.”
“There is no mechanism to change the type of civil arrest order before the hearing so the reunion, at least having everything together, is always in jeopardy,” he said. “Potentially, one of them could Zoom in and look real but Scheana still can’t communicate with Rachel directly or through an intermediary.”
According to their lawyer, Raquel and Scheana will “have to film [the reunion] separately or virtually.”
After Raquel’s confession about the attack on her, Scheana slammed her as a “liar” and a “liar”.
“Neither Scheana nor the other cast members want anything to do with Rachel moving forward,” he said, via Neama, continuing. “The judge only heard one account of what happened, and we look forward to presenting the full and true story at the hearing on March 29.”
