Raquel Leviss Wants “As Much Money as Possible” for ...

Despite rumors that she’d officially signed onto another season of Vanderpump Rules, TMZ reports that Raquel Leviss is *still* in contract negotiations with Bravo over her return to the show. So what’s the holdup? According to Page Six, Raquel wants more money.

“She wants to get as much money as she possibly can, so she is playing hardball,” a source explains, adding that the Vanderpump Rules cast are going on a trip to Lake Tahoe next week and the hope is Raquel and Bravo will have reached “a deal and she will appear.”

As the source put it, “For the right price, she will be there.”

It’s not just the money though. Raquel—who has spent the last several months in a mental health treatment facility—is said to be “genuinely concerned for her well-being,” especially in the wake of the Vanderpump Rules reunion where the cast did not hold back.

“Watching the reunion was excruciating,” the insider tells Page Six. “The way the other women just completely tore her apart and essentially wished her dead. It was just a lot to take.”

Raquel’s contract negotiations come as Vanderpump Rules is nominated for its first Emmy award—specifically for last season, which revolved around Tom Sandoval cheating on Ariana Madix with Raquel. So yeah, she’s definitely in a good position to negotiate right now.
