After sharing that she was happy to see that the scandal surrounding her and Tom Sandoval‘s affair had launched Ariana’s career, Raquel, 30, shaded Ariana’s character, revealed if she’s hoping to reconcile with Scheana Shay, 39, and shared something “gross” about Tom, 42.
“I think the part that irks me the most is the way that [Ariana] went out of her way to dehumanize me at the reunion,” Raquel shared of “Scandoval” on the September 17 episode of Rachel Goes Rogue. “It really propelled more hate my way and death threats and things that were not necessary, because I already had a lot of shame surrounding it and a lot of people shaming me already.”
“It’s very telling to her character,” she added.
Still, despite her criticism, Rachel praised Ariana for her success since the scandal.
“Honestly, I’m really happy Ariana is living out her dreams. She always wanted to be on Broadway,” said Rachel. “She’s always been obsessed with Love Island. So, the fact that she’s a host of Love Island is pretty epic. I’m just happy that Scandoval was able to really launch her in the direction that she’s always dreamed of.”
When a fan questioned whether she’d say, “Hi,” to Scheana if she ran into her, Raquel confirmed she’d already run into her “twice” before noting that she would not want to interact.
“I don’t have a desire to speak to her, and clearly, she doesn’t have a desire to speak to me. So that’s not going to happen,” she shared. “I just don’t think that there’s any type of conversation that I can even comprehend. There’s no point in having a productive conversation with somebody that you don’t want to have a friendship with anymore.”
“[I have] no desire to reconcile with Scheana,” she further clarified.
As for what’s “gross” about Sandoval, Raquel recalled her former flame sweating off his self-tanner.
“This may not come as a shock to all of you guys, but Tom Sandoval does love his Loving Tan self-tanner, and he will wear it and sweat it off, and he doesn’t care what it looks like when he sweats it off,” she revealed. “[It’s] just kind of gross and funny.”
Vanderpump Rules season 12 is expected to go into production sometime this fall.
