Whereas showing on a current episode of the “Chicks within the Workplace” podcast, the Bravo producer revealed what he believes led Raquel to have an affair with Tom Sandoval, who, after all, was in a long-term relationship with Ariana Madix and was Leviss’ finest buddy.

“[Raquel] was barely on the present. … Possibly two seasons in the past or extra, she was having a pet social gathering,” Andy started, referencing the Season 7 episode. “That was her first type of occasion that she was having on the present. She was very upset ‘trigger not one of the women needed to come back. They’re like, ‘We’re not coming to your f-ing pet social gathering.'”

Raquel first appeared on the present as James Kennedy’s girlfriend on Season 5 again in 2016. She had a recurring function till Season 8, earlier than changing into a principal forged member of the Bravo sequence in Season 9.

Manufacturing in Season 10 started in July 2022, with Andy stating to “Chicks within the Workplace” podcast hosts Maria “Ria” Ciuffo and Francesca “Fran” Mariano that final 12 months Raquel “in some way received the eye” of two ideas of the present, Sandoval and Tom Schwartz.

He added that along with the 2 Toms, she grew to become entwined within the women’ group, together with Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, and naturally, Ariana. “She’s within the combine in a really large means,” Andy mentioned.

“So, is there part of you that might take into account that perhaps she grew to become intoxicated by now being a principal on this present and being thought-about as such?” he continued. “She received a number of consideration. Possibly she grew to become intoxicated by being such part of the present, and perhaps that made her lose her sense of herself.”

“Chicks within the Workplace” co-host Ria introduced up a second from final week’s explosive finale, by which Ariana informed Sandoval throughout their heated confrontation that Raquel was “looking for id in males” and has “no id of her personal.”

In March 2023, Raquel and Sandoval’s months-long affair — and the latter dishonest on Ariana, his girlfriend of practically 10 years — was uncovered to your entire world, with the scandal changing into often known as “Scandoval.”

The Season 10 finale — titled “#Scandoval” — chronicled the dramatic fallout after the information broke. Manufacturing of Season 10 had wrapped final fall, however filming began up once more simply two days after Ariana discovered a compromising video of her longtime companion and good buddy on his cellphone in early March.

Whereas the finale featured the forged reacting to the scandal, it did not embrace a confrontation between Raquel and Ariana. Viewers must look forward to that till the three-part reunion, which kicks off on Wednesday on Bravo.
