Rachel Leviss Responds to Cast Reactions to Bethenny Frankel Interview 

Sandoval’s plan was clearly for Rachel to move in with him and take on half of the financial burden of the house. It was obvious when he suddenly decided he did not want to buy Ariana out of the house once he realized Rachel wasn’t coming back. He really thought he could just replace Ariana with Rachel like he was changing out car parts. He was upset and shocked that she did not fall in line with his plans. He was definitely trying to control her by convincing her to leave treatment & separate herself from the influence of her parents. Really toxic behavior on his part. LVP protects her business investments period. James and Sandoval impressions are on point😂

For someone who doesn't want to be on reality TV she sure can't shut up about it.

They DID have a deep convo about being intimate, and Ariana bared her soul to Rachel for all the world to see, shame on you girl

I just can't wrap my mind around Rachel thought process, so basically, she was hanging with Tom and Ariana bc she was in love with Tom and cared nothing about Ariana. One day, I hope she can comprehend the emotional harm she has caused to Ariana. Every time I start to feel a little empathy for Rachel, she says something to hurt Ariana and defend her nasty behavior. For Rachel to sleep with Tom in his and Ariana bed is so cruel. I just can't think what was in Rachel mind.

Ariana was a loyal friend to Rachel while Rachel was going through a break up with James. The depth of kindness and empathy Ariana showed Rachel was real. Ariana was ride or die for Rachel and Tom. That is a best friend level friendship. Ariana experienced loosing her grandmother, Charlotte her dog and the ultimate betrayal from a partner and girlfriend. Being the kind, loving, open friend Ariana is she is now wiser as to who she will allow into her inner circle of friends.

Love that you tried to get through to Scheana on her podcast the other day.

Your podcast actually give me different perspectives about my own life when you go off on tangents and get really deep, it really helps a lot of people

Just watched you on Scheana's podcast and I really appreciated how you tried (albeit unsuccessfully) to make Scheana see how hurtful it will be to Ariana when she sees how awful the cast was whenever they talked about her regarding Scandoval. Scheana really angered me the way she is now dismissive of Tom and Raquel's affair and is going hard for Lala and her situation with Randall. At one point she even said that Lala didn't "just" get cheated on like Ariana did. Wow, if all the other stuff she's said and done to Ariana wasn't bad enough, that statement would really sting! I'm not minimizing what Lala has and is still going through with Randall, he's a monster. However, for Lala to hold it against Ariana that the public did not rally around her, offer her endless endorsements and career opportunities or hate Randall to the degree with which they hate Sandoval makes Lala look bitter and jealous. I have no doubt she's both. And since Scheana is also bitter and jealous of Ariana she's now abandoned a friend who was ride or die for her for over a decade. So if Scheana and Lala think that when they put it to the viewers that this is why Lala has been so critical and downright cold to Ariana, it certainly isn't going to excuse either one of their behavior to me. In fact I will root all the more for Ariana. It's not her fault no one was invested in Randall and Lala's relationship. Not only did it not play out on TV for a decade but most people saw it for what it was; Lala's karma for being a gold digger! Sorry for the long rant, but I am so triggered by Scheana and Lala's treatment of Ariana and Katie too for that matter. 😊

Raquel doesn't give a fck about her mental health. It's never actually been about that and it's pretty obvious. She only went bc her PR team suggested it would look good for her. I hate how ppl say she left the show to focus on her mental health and growth when Raquel herself has already stated that she would have gone back to the show if they gave her the same pay as Tom and Arianna!!!! It is an insult to those who actually care and so work on their mental health. If she was truly working on herself she would absolutely not be doing everything she is now! Tom and Raquels actions prove they do not have any remorse bc they do not regret what they did and the fact they hurt so many. Raquel I've never ever liked, I saw right thru her. She will always be a super fan who blew it. I have zero sympathy for her. ANYWAYS.....LOVE LOVE LOVE that I found your channel!!!! Love your content.

hi ryan i saw you on scheana,she really didn’t giv out anythg new,but i felt she eluded that lala is pissed about her not gettg sympathy after rand,wow! great show by u & kiki !

There is no way her therapist agrees with what she’s doing and if they do, she needs a refund.

Rachel is forgetting a lot of things she said on her podcast in previous episodes such as that time she said once before she was blaming Bravo and stating that she believed that Ariana knew about the affair before filming season 10 and for a storyline, now she is saying on sed podcast again that she only argued with Tom about breaking up with Ariana because what they were doing was wrong😮, like girl stop you are hurting you case that you are trying to sue for.

love how you jumped right into it ❤ sometimes with reality podcasts i feel like i have to skip the first two minutes bc it’s just filler so thank you for getting right to the money!

I don't know if you're ever going to read this, but a different perspective. I grew up with a father who is consistently not faithful. He would have long term affairs, year long. I can tell you that my dad never left my mom. statistically speaking a man usually never leaves his wife for the mistress. I loved my Dad, there is good and bad in everyone. I don't think Tom ever planned On leaving Ariana, Unless she left him. Rachelle was his escape plan, nothing more. He is a man that cannot be alone, a man that needs that constant high with a woman. Rachelle was fulfilling a void he had. The way he moved with this affair, he 100% he has had other long term ones on Ariana.

It’s a vortex of her making!😂

She needs to go back to her med Spa Because as soon as VPR didn't offer her the money she wanted and she wasn't going back She talked about being Healthy mentally. The minute they were back on TV and people were talking about them she had to be involved in it so she made that podcast and all she does is talk about last year nothing about moving on and it's just nothing and nobody cares. She thought she was irreplaceable in that Bravo would pay anything for her but they kept their pay scale and she left😂🎉

I think you're incredibly gracious and I really feel like you approached this sensitively and with kindness. I hope she sees this

❤❤❤ She who will never be named NEVER APOLOGIZED TO HER EVER AND NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO SUE HER🧐

I’m shocked anyone would trust her. In my opinion Ratchell is still very delusional and seems willing to be self serving in a futuristic manner. I don’t see true growth…. Blech I have chosen not to listen to her fake news version of things. I can hear about it from you❤

It is so refreshing to hear your generous considerations. I really enjoyed listening to your philosophical mediations on Rachael’s ‘work’, and this season’s VPR. It is refreshing to hear your deep dive into the grey areas of identity, reality tv, behaviours, context, morality and our relationship to these stories. Thanks for not being mean and judgemental.

Nice extra episode ❤

Nobody onew her when she dated James, she was a hanger oner that was living with James because he provided her a free expensive olace ro lovecin that nice as hell highrise, he bought all her expensive clothes, shoes accessories etc, he paid for everything for her but that VW...she thought Tom1 was gonna leave Ariannaxand move her into HIS house, she never said, Tom and Ariannas house, shes so dumb she thought Tom bought that house,lmfao, she assumed Tom was paying Ariannas way, her car etc, he wasnt!!

I think Rachel should go on Patti Stanger and Nick Viall’s dating show to break her bad dating habits!

Rachel’s podcast really shows she is not built for reality tv. She will have to go back into treatment once the show is done airing. She needs to stop because it’s harming her mental health. I think she already shared her story, what more is there?

Based on what other casters say about Rachel podcastsl- not sure therapy is working. Her podcasts seem a psyche term wordsalad. And really. She screws a dude, her friend's man. She splits when that is exposed? So weird. She did the guy and betrayed someone who cared about her, then poof, you're gone? You didn't love him? You didn't want him? You have no care for either Tom or Ariana? You abandon the mess you made and go immediately to therapy? You sue the woman whose life you destroyed? And therapy helped? Not if the goal was for you to fully accept responsibility for the damage you left in your wake.

Ryan, I just have to commend you because I did listen to you on Scheana’s podcast only because you were on as I unsubscribed from her long ago, she annoys me! I am so glad you did not let her off the hook, and you stood your ground when it comes to her talking behind Ariana’s back and how Lala is acting, I wish you would’ve went a little harder on her because she needs to know how hypocritical she is and looks!! I always enjoy you though and that’s why I listened, because I love how you keep it real ❤️❤️❤️

Rachel was in Havasu on the end of Katie and Lala’s bed threatening to “SNAG” your men as soon as Ariana went home to be with her puppy. Then left ASAP to see what she could drag up!

You are the voice of reason for all these people. Wish you could be their therapist. Need someone who gets it and a still be honest yet kind!

Totally not related to this… but I watched Scheanas podcast with you… and I feel like what shocked me the most was that she said Ariana didn’t watch the episodes. Which I guess I think now… how would she have time… but damn talk about going into the reunion blind.

13:56 🤣🤣 she was totally frenkled out…

For someone who doesn't consider Ariana a good friend she sure got very personal about if Ariana and Tom were having sex and if Ariana was still attracted to Tom. That's pretty personal for not being close. She's full of it! She even said they were her family. Such a liar

Ryan, always love your podcast because it’s intelligent. My view is Raquel starts by saying , I did a bad thing. She is taking responsibility. Sandavol has not once taken responsibility or accountability. He has even pinned things on Ariana and now the cast is making her out to be a villain. It’s disgusting! Why are the women always made the villains. Raquel went to rehab and took accountability. Sandavol has done nothing. He is a liar and Schwartz is just as bad covering for him. VPR needs to end!And La La and Scheana coming around to Sandavol and being jealous of Ariana’s opportunities is so disappointing.

Hi Ryan. Caught you on Scheananigans 😊. Big Easter egg that Ariana didn't watch the advanced episodes before the reunion? I'm guessing Ariana announces she's done with VPR, Lala snipes that she's known that would be Ariana's position and accuses Ariana of not "bringing it" this season thereby justifying her sh1tty behaviour towards Ariana. Or similar 😂😂. On serious note, I hope you're doing okay Ryan 💛

Seems to me Rachel has had some sort of head trauma...all neurons arent firing, not trying to br mean just an observstion drom the heslthcare side of her behavior..copies others thiughts, ohrases, lies, twists stories etc

Love your work and the impressions give life...Best ever...on a separate note I can't wait for the word 'narrative' to go out of fashion...no 1 word used by the cast currently!

I thought I was playing this on 10x speed 😅

I think it’s funny how Rachel really did not go deep into her rent situation with Scheana!! Because Scheana said, it was only supposed to be a month that Rachel would be be there, but Rachel kept asking her month after month until finally Scheana said, she had to go, but Rachel really doesn’t go too far into that because I think she knows she would sound hypocritical and I don’t think she realizes she contradicts herself a lot when explaining a situation.

Your great & so are your Videos👍you’ve got this👍

I’m so glad that I get off work late at night and got this little treat!!

You came up on my you tube on my phone🎉🎉🎉🎉

I just can’t fault Raquel for being duped by a narcissist. I think she lacks some social skills and it comes off evil but it’s really more like she’s oblivious which is what narcs love- lost, loving, lonely, brainwashable supplies.

I don't think I've ever seen you have an imaginary convo to this degree, with a cast member

I love Alley as well! Ryan, why do you talk so fast? How much caffeine have you had? Lol

Nowadays it feels like we cannot just watch VPR. Almost every cast member or people around the show have a podcast where they talk about the show and give more info and context to what we are watching. I refuse to listen to all those people and their constant noise. But I am glad that Ryan and Jolene do so on my behalf. I just hope they have found healthy ways to recover from listening to those halfwits and their endless stupidity. Thank you, Ryan.

Her podcast reminds me of Larry David’s Spite Store

The reunion you refer to Ryan was cruel and deplorable! It was designed to punish and ruin Rachel and Toms lives because they made a mistake. Rachel is best to stay away from that kind of nasty scapegoating,(they all cheat) at this point I think she is the most honest of the whole lot of them.And I like her podcast its good.

What day is Ryan Bailey's birthday 🎂?

I got bored early but yeah I think Rachel meant other people were telling her story in the aftermath not now.

I still think Rachel is on the spectrum

Imo Rachel hasn’t even given anything on her stupid podcast nothing good at least. She needs to move on. It’s making more & more sense why her & Scummy clicked to begin with!! && the funniest & most pathetic part is that scummy named her podcast. She is so immature

“I don’t want to be misrepresented” aka I don’t want anyone to talk about my fuck ups but me. She went hard on the “working on herself” narrative in hopes that would get her out of the consequences and all the the conversations that would happen as this all came out. You can’t be misrepresented when you did the things that people are talking about.

O.J.'s mom😂

14:58 ok, sooo… ok to cheat w/acquaintance bf; and, ok to cheat w/friend bf… but just canNOT w/BEST friend bf. 👌👍🏼 got it, mistress Rach.

As always, I love the even-handedness with your recaps. I totally agree. I’d love to see Rachel talk more about how she acted and why and being intoxicated by the friendships, fame, and money. I also believe she was wrapped up in this but isn’t being fully honest about it. I do think that the friendships on this show are heightened for the show and the cast is good at gassing them up to serve a narrative. But Tom did manipulate Rachel (and Ariana). Maybe it wasn’t grooming, but it was full on lying and manipulation. As a codependent, I do feel Rachel was in a place to be manipulated, and people like Tom do target people without boundaries. She has to take responsibility for trusting him and her part as Ariana has said. Rachel chose to believe the liar instead of going to Ariana or Scheana and blowing the whistle. One thing in Rachel’s defense. It’s really hard to be under a delusion-the delusion of the fantasy of the show and the dilution of Tom and the potential of that relationship. It’s intoxicating. I think she still needs to dig deeper and keep moving through her healing, but as someone who has been the target of a smear campaign in real life, it’s a long journey to letting it go and moving on. It does feel very black and white and winners and losers. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have a whole-ass show and people all over online platforms contributing to a public smear campaign while making money off keeping it going.

I, unlike many others, have been a Rachel sympathizer because of the mental health aspect. At the same time, I don't think she is doing herself any favors by saying she wasn't "best friends" with Ariana because it just makes it look like she is justifying what happened. That being said, I do think that she is leaps and bounds ahead of Sandoval in terms of growth and taking accountability. You don't take accountability by apologizing and grovelling...you have to make real life changes and I think she is trying as much as she is capable of doing atm.

28:15 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏 😮 to make MONEY 😵‍💫😱

I cannot stand Rachel or TSandy however I think Sandoval or even better Arianna should try to get Camille Vasquez but she probably wouldn’t take the case-too low brow😂

Pleasepleaseplease DO NOT talk so fast thru these convos. Consider that everyone is not on Adderall (not to imply you are.....but JEEZZ). I'm trying to watch while doing chores so please again slow it down so I get it. I need to be able to hear what you're saying not just your reading shit without consideration of audience - 54 yrs. Love you Ryan...plsplspls do better for all of us. Hearts

Now Sandoval is going to screw Schwartz out of 6,000.00 a month so he can keep his house. What idiots both Toms are. I lost a lot of respect for both of them. All their character flaws in their relationships with women. But its almost comical the codependency the Toms are. Or better put Tom the Narc master manipulates the Tom the twit for his financial gain. I mean which Tom is the bigger loser at this point. I was so wanting to finally see Schwartz grow a pair and say he'll no to Marco. But it's just sad.

With all the red flags, I can't believe Arianna didn't have discussions with Tom about hanging with Raquel too much. I was extremely sus before the news broke. Arianna, as the other women, definitely saw the signs, plus their relationship was pretty much over. Tom is 12 years older than Raquel. He definitely fed her a narrative that he and Arianna were over except on paper.

It doesn't matter what she does everyone is always going to hate her. She literally can't win. So she's just gonna do it I guess. I think it's terrible how harsh everyone is toward her.
