Raquel is upset because she is the only one that didn't profit from Scandoval. Bethenny is egging her on. What does this have to do with Bravo? It's not like Bravo went to Ariana and said, here's a $1M bonus. Ariana was approached by multiple brands - ABC for DWTS, BIC, Duracell, etc.

Raquel, ya dumb bitch, you didn't get approached because companies don't want you to be the face of their brand or even associated with them. You have a PR team, why didn't you have them call a medical supply company, maybe you could be the face of straight jackets

Bethenny is the one who brought it up and she said you were "masturbating". Raquel then went on to explain how she was in NY a few days before her WWHL appearance. She watched some porn and Face Timed with Tom. Sounds like she called him. She then claims she didn't know he recorded her.

I've had limited experience with these video chatters, but when we record meetings on MS Teams and Zoom at work, I see a popup warning me that my meeting is being recorded.

Part 2

 

[KungFuBunny]

The professional victim is back, with Bethenny gassing her up to her downfall.

Raquel needs to make up her mind - she will say something is the absolute truth because "Tom" told her, but then say how he lied and used her.

She's falling back into - I was so naive and malleable and gullible and trusting and in love and he manipulated me an got me to act out of character.

TBH, I think Lisa’s always been the one who has run TT. She’s more than a silent partner. She just lets the Toms think they’re in charge, when in fact they’re just contributing their names to the bar sign. 

EDIT — Just checked the Schwartz and Sandy’s website again. 🤣Still one page, no drop-down menu. Only thing new is a link to a reservations page, like I’m going to make a reservation for a place I otherwise know nothing about. 

Of course Lisa Vanderpump was responsible for managing TomTom since the Toms owned a tiny part of it, and she owned almost all of it. They appeared at the restaurant here and there for PR reasons. 

[itsadryheat]

Interestingly both the karaoke singer" and the failed pageant contestant did their first interviews with people that never watched the show, allowing them to give their versions of the truth with basically no argument.

This time, the world's fastest talker and the world's slowest talker join in an attempt to do a successful podcast together. Audio torture.

Rachel has zero entertainment value. The only thing positive re Bethany is her philanthropy

The robot's canned answers clearly will reignite the contempt the public has for her.

Don’t want to hear from Bethany, Rachel, and her thirsty parents again.

Basically, a liar went on another liar's podcast and LIED.

[KungFuBunny]

One of the points the letter Bethenny had Bryan Freedman send to NBC said,

Deliberate attempts to manufacture mental instability by plying cast members with alcohol while depriving them of food and sleep.

KFB: If a lawsuit ever is filed against Bravo and they go to court, Bravo can say Bethenny was guilty of this, since she had her Skinny Girl liquor at every event under the sun while on RHNY

 

 

[hoodooznoodooz]

By the way, folks, in Part 1, you’ll be happy to know, Rachel forgives herself.

[KungFuBunny]

This interview was done in one sitting. They may have taken breaks for lunch, bathroom, etc.

I can't wait for Bravo/NBC to use this in court against both of them.

In the first part, Bethenny says she has never watched the show, she's only seen clips. In part 2, she says she saw all 4 parts of the reunion and the Scandoval episode.

Goin along with Hoody's post...you'll all be happy to know that Bethenny could be Raquels's mother and Andy's older than Bethenny.

[KungFuBunny]

I just saw a clip where Lisa Vabderpump was questioned by some sort of Paparazzi. She questioned about the Raquel/Bethenny interview. The person said Raquel is being paid less than an intern

Lisa actually said "She was paid very well. $361000"

I'm sure Bravo gave Lisa the okay to relay this information.

Bethenny is up shits creek. Remember for VPR that $361K is for maybe 8-12 weeks of filming. This means her intern's salary needs to be 4x$361K. If this goes to court and Bethenny can not provide proof that her intern makes more than that - it is defamation.

Frankel reads a transcript of what Ariana, and maybe Lala, said to Rachel at the reunion.

Frankel is incredulous. They gave Ariana a tissue. Why didn’t anyone give you a tissue?

Frankel claims she watched the Reunion.

Rachel wasn’t crying. That’s why no one gave her a tissue.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Sorry if I am repeating what is already in this thread, or stating the obvious. But Frankel is posing as someone who believes Bravo should more fairly compensate its reality cast members. Bravo is exploiting the casts.

But that is exactly what Frankel is doing to Rachel in this three-part podcast.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Rachel complains about the way Ariana handled the intimate video. 

Someone on Reddit joked that Rachel would blame Steve Jobs for creating FaceTime before she would blame Sandoval for this mess.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Sandoval recorded her without her consent. He is upset with Rachel for making him look bad on camera. But she still gives him the key to the apartment she’s been using.

You like my bunny ears?

[hoodooznoodooz]

More hypocrisy:

Everyone’s coming down hard on Rachel. Sandoval received hardly any hate. They always go after the woman.

But Rachel is going after Ariana and Scheana, not Sandoval. He recorded her without her consent. That’s predator behavior. But she’s focused on the women.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Frankel seems to have forgotten all the terrible things she has said to other housewives.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Didn’t Rachel state in that one-on-one interview with a producer, that they showed after the reunion, “I’m in love with Tom. I love Ariana. I thought maybe we could become a throuple.”

But now she actually wasn’t friends with Ariana. She only hung out with Ariana if Sandoval was going to be there.

Raquel is claiming that she was promised a mental health advocate on set for the reunion but it was withdrawn as punishment.

I call BULLSHIT

She is claiming that her team reached out to Bravo to clear it up that she was at Meadows and they refused to do so. I call Bullshit, Raquels team could have easily disclosed that since they had TMZ on speed dial.

[KungFuBunny]

Did anyone else catch Raquel referring to her bill from the facility as

TUITION

[JenE4]

I just listened to parts 2 and 3. I don’t think this did Rachel or Bethenny any favors! Bethenny read a transcript of the “emotional abuse” Rachel suffered at the reunion—without giving the context that it was the “scorned woman” confronting her “friend” who cheated with her partner for 8 months right under nose. This was the first time Arianna saw Rachel. Of course she was angry and let her have it. Bethenny was also so distraught about Schwartz’s Xanax bottle and that Andy questioned whether Raquel was medicated to have remained so emotionless. I seem to recall Bethenny ranting diagnoses and to go take medication at Kelly Bensimone. But somehow everything that happened is because of Bravo. Rachel didn’t even acknowledge that this was all because of her affair until the very end—and even then it was completely passive, as something that “happened to her” rather than an 8-month ongoing affair that she chose to act on every time she fucked Tom. The audacity of both of them! Outrageous! But fear not, people, Rachel is going to start a podcast about mental health.

Looks like we both found this outrageous proof that she is not living in the real world simultaneously. The most annoying part is her vocalizing any thought. Imagine her with professionals. It's a twofer - not very bright or interesting and the delivery. Yeah, go for a podcast!

[KungFuBunny]

Raquel came off worse than she did at the reunion.

At least during the reunion she justified her affair because she felt a deep connection and was in love with Tom

You would think, a person who works on herself for 3-4 months in therapy would be reflective, remorseful and take accountability. I felt she learnt nothing, and still believe she was not at Meadows or any other MH facility.

Instead, it seems that Raquel took the time to become a better Professional Victim.

Her affair was minimized. She double downed on her actions and thought they were justified

I would never had an affair with Tom if I thought there was longevity in their relationship. Everyone knew they were just room mates.

Ariana and I were never close friends, just acquaintances because of the show. 

Scheana was my friend, but I'm insulted that she says she was like a mother, I have a mother who I love very much.

Everyone made money but me, and it's not fair.

Everyone else cheated, why was my cheating such a big deal.

Seriously! Thanks to her three month psychiatric “education” she’s ready to start a mental health podcast! This is on par with getting “pageant credit” by saying someday she’s going to go to school for occupational therapy to help children without, you know, ever applying to college.

She also said she prioritizes her mental health and would never put herself in the position of being on reality TV again, with much accolades from Bethenny. But immediately followed it up with because she tried to get as much pay as Tom and Ariana plus her $200,000 “tuition” to the mental health facility—and that she absolutely would have gone back had they agreed to that amount of money. Uh, okaaaay. But now both Rachel and Bethenny can keep all their money by telling their truths on podcasts instead of Bravo. Kudos, assholes. You got me to listen to all three parts. You win, I guess.

[KungFuBunny]

I don't know how to post Instagram videos.

If you go to Instagram and look for Glorifiedgossipgirl, the pic below. On Instagram you can click to play the video.

It's Bethenny - this took place after Scandoval broke and everyone including CNN was talking about it and before the VPR reunion

I can post the pic, but the play button doesn't work on this message board

She's calling reality TV an elective sport - this means you choose to be on

[itsadryheat]

 

What does Rachel want to do now that she has grown up?

Rachel: I really am impassioned by learning about myself and the psychology behind all of this. And I am taking the steps to start my own podcast. I feel like it would be a great way to share my side of the story and bring on experts that really understand the psychology.

Bethenny: Like the self help. So we should talk about it.

Rachel: Yeah. And I feel like this is an area that’s untapped because nobody really wants to talk about being the other woman. And for as many people that are hurt by this affair, there’s equally as many people that have been that…

Bethenny: That’s been the other person. Exactly

Does Rachel want to get married and have kids? Or what about relationships.

Rachel: I would love to have a healthy relationship but right now I am nurturing my house plant and you know still healing myself so that I can break these patterns

Where will Rachel be living now?

Rachel: I’m going to be traveling around. I’m not headed back to LA anytime soon. I have some plans to check out different states and areas. So it’s unwritten at this point but I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life

Ariana Madix Announces New Book, Single AF Cocktails: ‘My Story, Told Through Drinks’

"She prefaced the announcement by saying, “These last few months have been a whirlwind and though I’m in a better place now, having my personal devastation unfold so publicly was painful … But now is the time that I’m fully telling my side of the story.” This comes in the wake of Rachel ‘telling her side of the story’ on Bethenny’s podcast."

"She explained, “Each cocktail tells part of the story of what happened, in my own words. From our happy honeymoon phase, the early issues in our relationship, to when everything broke, and finally, making it out the other side, stronger than before.” She also added the book is “a thank you” to family and her other many supporters."

Sandoval didn’t help her with this one, right?

[itsadryheat]

This was a major PR fail for both B & R/R, a scrambled fairy tale of misinformation, obvious lies and coached responses. She would have come out better going scorched earth on sandy, especially the nonconsensual recording of their famous FaceTime session. She has a lot to say about everyone but him.

In a nutshell, if Bravo had paid her the same as Ariana and sandy, PLUS had her mental health stay reimbursed she would have returned to toxic VPR. But then she states she would never go back to reality TV because of her mental health.

So much talk about money, lack of brand deals, and being broke from the professional victim. We saw her whining to Peter about how expensive everything is. How could she possibly be broke?  She received $350,000 for 3 months of work (won't be getting that in Tucson btw) and said openly that James paid for everything, stayed at Scheana’s, and her parents paid for her tuition at the mental health spa.

So maybe it's just part of her entitled schtick-spends her dough on fun things for herself like the $800 lightning bolt necklace and doesn't want to waste it on rent, food, utilities, insurance - you know, adult things. She is so broke she was caught staying at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale this week. https://pagesix.com/2023/08/18/raquel-leviss-shows-bikini-bod-in-poolside-pics-after-pump-rules-exit/

That doesn't surprise me. We know that piece of crap gets off on being bitten. He's an alcoholic and probable drug addict and Rachel cut him off for 2 years before they parted. I could see him encouraging the dog to bite him as a work around. I'm not accusing him of bestiality but I believe her on this. I believe her on most of the tidbits she dropped regarding James and Sandoval. Less so regarding the reunion pile on and some of the Ariana comments and her belief on what Bravo owes her.  

[KungFuBunny]

I just posted an interview Lisa and Alex Baskin had a few days ago. It's over on Surmising the New Season thread.

 

[KungFuBunny]

So if you look at skanky hos Instagram page...it still says Raquel and it still says 849 posts - but she has hidden the majority of pictures with Tom, James, Scheana, Ariana. I wonder if the reason she hid them is because if she deletes she loses followers - anyone an Instagram expert?

What's crazy is there are still pics of James, tons of pics of Hippie the dog she dumped, and a ton of people that friended her because they were friends with Scheana/Ariana and have unfriended her since. One person she has tons of pics of is Jenny Ting - the girl who paid for a room in Mexico, that said Raquel you can room with me since my husband can't make it to Scheana's wedding, whose room Rachel hijacked to use as a fuckpad. Jenny UNFRIENDED her but she has to give the illusion of having friends and girlfriends. Promo shots taken at different pageants - again these are not her friends they are taken to promote the pageants.

She is definitely trying to rebrand  and change her image. She's relying on the Bethenny followers that never watched VPR.

All of the comments on her posts are gone - those are probably hidden as well

She made $350,000 for S10 because she was a supporting character only before, and earned very little. She has to pay taxes (California and federal) on this amount, so I don't doubt she might not have any left, or she is broke if she paid for the mental health facility herself.

She either deleted, or hid (archived) some of her IG photos- she only knows, we cannot tell, unless we knew what was the original number of posts. If she archived photos, she can unarchive them. I don't think it can affect the number of her followers. The only reason for people to unfollow her is if they don't like her, or her content. She archived, or deleted photos because they depicted her previous life, and some of the people in the photos are not her friends anymore.

Well the interviewer asked about a throuple, but there’s no context on whether he meant Sandy + Schwartz and someone or Sandy + Ariana and someone. But the way they said Lala leads me to believe the interviewer was asking about Sandy and Ariana, since Ariana and Lala hooked up in the car in front of Tom. But I do think Schwartz was making a joke about Raquel wanting to be in a throuple with Tom and Ariana and then trying to play it off when he realized he shouldn’t have said anything. That being said, your theory wouldn’t surprise me, either.

I just find it suspect that Schwartz says throuple way before season 10 even aired. He used it months before the reunion taped on March 23th. Then Rachel uses that word 6 days later. I think he was talking himself, the other Tom and Rachel.

Isn't it also strange that at the reunion, Schwartz diverted the possible threesome throwing Billie Lee in the mix, and then saying the open relationship was something he heard?

[itsadryheat]

June 2023    

“I mean, I even suggested, I was like maybe like what would Ariana think about like having me as an addition. And he [Sandoval] was like, ‘no, no, no, she would not be into that.’”

“A throuple?”

“Yeah. Because like I love Ariana as a person and then also I am in love with Tom Sandoval. So, yeah, it didn’t seem like that far-fetched of an idea. But it was not something in question.”

R/R: "Ariana and I were not best friends. We were acquaintances who became friends through the show. She’s always been somebody who has been very sweet to me. She would stand up for me and encourage me to pursue whatever I was…I don’t know"

R/R:" Yeah she would encourage me to pursue whatever I was pursuing. And that was all great but we never had like a deep conversation that I would have with a best friend. And it’s painful to think that I hurt her in this way because that wasn’t my intention. I wasn’t trying to be a malicious person, I just got wrapped up in this and wasn’t thinking clearly. But we were not best friends. The alliances, who I call these people my friends because I really did believe that they were my friends."

Hah

[KungFuBunny]

I know I posted that an article was dropping before Bravocon so before November 12th.

It is supposed to be about a Network (I think Bravo) and something negative. I also think it is Vanity Fair or Variety magazine.

The latest info is that Bethenny's reality reckoning schpiel is B doing her usual thing. The article that is dropping was worked on a long time ago - Bethenny heard about it. She had her people call the publication to ask to be involved. She is creating the illusion that she started this, she's at the forefront, she's the ringleader, and she's the hero. She just pestered her way to be involved.

I hope they bury her SkinnyGirl ass under the peacock logo
