Well, my friends, the time has come. To earn some money. Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss is set to emerge from her hiding place and return to the scene of the crime.
Season 11 has already begun filming and most of the cast has their boots on the ground. I say “most” because the two main players in the Scandoval drama are scared otherwise engaged at the present time. Tom Sandoval is busy filming another show. And Raquel is … probably negotiating her enormous salary.
Time to check out
According to Us Weekly, Raquel’s time in a mental health care facility has come to a close. Because nothing says self-care more than going right back into the mess. Many people challenged the theory Raquel was indeed ensconced and tending to her personal needs. Now, whether she was in a blanket fort in a hotel or a sophisticated hospital, she’s coming back.
An insider shared Raquel has “begun negotiations” to head back to LA. “Raquel is going to be checking out of the mental health facility within the next 10-15 days,” the source said. Despite the apparent checkout, she may or may not “choose to stay longer.”
During Raquel’s time away, VPR producers “have remained committed to supporting Raquel’s treatment.” But that seems odd considering it’s anything but healthy to put her back into the lion’s den.
Is there a Raquel ETA?
As far as Raquel’s official return to the show, it’s probably happening. That said, they want to dangle a carrot in front of fans. “Nothing has been decided yet and it’s all still up in the air. Both sides are hoping they can work something out so that Raquel gets the treatment she needs, and she’s still able to be included in the show.”
Raquel has been off the radar since April, which was the best way to go for her after Scandoval. Viewers have had time to settle and let the edge dull while her PR team plans to bring her back. In the interim, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney have been spotted filming at TomTom while the coast is clear.
No word on whether or not Tom and Raquel will return to production at the same time, whilst wearing the same shirt.

Kevin Jonas recently revealed his wife, Danielle Jonas, was asked to join the Bravo fam but politely declined.
It’s no shocker to anyone that Bravo and the producers of the Real Housewives have tried to cast big-ticket names before. It seems like a no-brainer, given the immense amount of love this franchise receives. At times they’ve been successful. Just look at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, for crying out loud. And other times, they tried but failed to miss the mark. Paula Abdul, LisaRaye McCoy, and Vanessa Bryant are just a few celebs who have all claimed to have turned the iconic franchise down.
And next, you can add Jonas to that list. Yep, Radio Disney, Year 3000, boyband Jonas. The singer chatted alongside his wife recently and shared some juicy behind-the-scenes bits about their almost return to reality TV.
Kevin’s wife Danielle turned down RHONJ
During a recent episode of the Lady Gang podcast, Kevin and Danielle revealed that she was asked to join the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Of course, the Jonas family isn’t new to reality television. Their own series, Married to Jonas, aired on E! From 2012-2013. During their interview, when the conversation turned to reality television, Danielle shared she’d return, but not on the Real Housewives.
“That is so funny!” Danielle said right before Kevin revealed that the producers did ask her to join. “I was asked! she said. But I think I would die in it. I think they would kill me.”
Kevin had a different take, adding that he believes his wife “can hold her own,” even though Danielle disagreed. “I probably would sit there just laughing,” she said.
But in the end, the couple said they declined the opportunity because filming would’ve been “too much.” Danielle did say she’d “rather [reboot] Married to Jonas” rather than filming the Real Housewives.

90 Day Fiancé Season 7 aired four years ago back in 2019, though a number of the cast members are still relevant to the current franchise. While some 90 Day Fiancé stars fade back into normal lives, others choose to extend their time in the TLC spotlight after their season. Likewise, some 90 Day Fiancé Season 7 couples are still together, while others have faced messy splits.

When 90 Day Fiancé Season 7 premiered in 2019, eight couples signed up to appear on the season. Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi were already known from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Angela and Michael have a very up-and-down relationship that continues into 2023. Meanwhile, three couples from their season most definitely broke up.
Tania and Syngin are one 90 Day Fiancé Season 7 couple who did not stay together. In fact, they split publicly on 90 Day: The Single Life. Their break up was actually quite sad, as they both revealed that they loved each other but were not meant to be. However, Syngin was later accused of abuse from his next ex-girlfriend, while Tania backed the woman’s claims.
However, Syngin has not addressed these claims and is now in love with his new girlfriend, Shayna. While Syngin is considered a franchise villain, Tania has fared better. Tania is openly bisexual and is still looking for love.
Michael and Juliana were actually friends with their fellow 90 Day Fiancé Season 7 couple, Tania and Syngin. Like their friends, they also broke up. Their split was very ugly, as Juliana alleged that she was mistreated in her marriage, while Michael accused her of cheating with his ex wife’s new husband.
Juliana then moved to Germany and had her first child with her new partner, Ben Obscura. Michael appears to still be bitter over the break, though he has been seen on dating apps.
Mike and Natalie are an infamous 90 Day Fiancé Season 7 pair, who have aired a long and exhaustive run in the franchise. The couple took their relationship to various spinoff shows before finally calling it quits.
Natalie and Mike are two very different people who should’ve never gotten married. Though they’re still legally married, Natalie moved to Florida to date other men on The Single Life. Meanwhile, Mike remains in Washington and has a new mystery girlfriend.
Angela and Michael from Before the 90 Days brought more chaos to 90 Day Fiancé Season 7. They faced many issues, such as Angela’s extreme jealousy problems and her inability to carry their child due to her age.
Things reached a breaking point on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, which led to them approaching the subject of divorce. However, they quickly got back together. Angela and Michael are likely keeping their relationship status private, since they will probably be on a new spin-off show soon.
Alexandr “Sasha” Larin & Emily Larina – Still Together
Sasha and Emily did not have a long run in the franchise after their first season. The American and Russian couple initially chose to stay in Russia, though they later move to the United States due to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian man Sasha made controversial comments about the war, while he seem to be living apart from Emily for some time. However, the parents are still believed to be together.
Robert and Anny experienced the most heartbreak out of the Season 7 cast, as they lost their young son. The loss was very hard on the parents, though it has not broken them apart.
One year later, Robert and Anny are still mourning, though they are building the best life they can. Many viewers have supported the parents, as they have dealt with their grieving process. Meanwhile, Robert and Anny are known for their humor on Pillow Talk.
Blake and Jasmin are the surprise success story from 90 Day Fiancé Season 7. When Finnish woman, Jasmin joined Blake in the United States, viewers were overwhelmingly suspicious that she was using him to simply live near her sister.
However, the couple surprisingly did not divorce and are still together. In fact, they seem to be very happy and have showed the genuine love on social media that few viewers were able to see on screen. Model Jasmine now looks significantly different due to her plastic surgery transformation.
Anna and Mursel are another surprising success story to have emerged from 90 Day Fiancé Season 7. The American and Turkish beekeepers appeared doomed, since they did not share a common language. However, they are now not only happily married, but proud parents to a little boy who they welcomed via surrogacy, Anna and Mursel faced a harrowing process, as they retrieved their son from his surrogate in Ukraine during the war. Thankfully, the family is now safe.
The happy parents are also successful business owners, as Anna sells homemade honey products, and Mursel has his own custom furniture business. This makes him a successful foreign 90 Day Fiancé franchise spouse who built a new life in the United States.
TELL US – ARE YOU A FAN OF THE 90 DAY FIANCÉ SEASON 7 CAST? DID THE COUPLES WHO STAYED TOGETHER AND SPLIT UP LEAVE YOU SHOCKED?
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiered in October 2010, making it the sixth installment in the Real Housewives franchise. RHOBH, similar to Real Housewives of New Jersey, had a family aspect to it that really captured fans’ attention. Kim and Kyle Richards’ complicated sister relationship was compelling to audiences and made it easy for fans to become invested in the cast. In addition, the show was essentially a display of excessive wealth and viewers tuned in to awe at the fabulous ladies of Beverly Hills.
In this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills guide, you’ll find everything you need to know to jump into one of the Real Housewives franchise’s best offerings.

As the show progressed, new housewives were added and original cast members departed from the show. Fan favorites like Dorit Kemsley brought some much needed comic relief to the show and pot stirrers like Lisa Rinna provided the drama fans crave. The OG cast of Beverly Hills has now pretty much all moved on from the show. Kyle is the only remaining OG cast member.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Memorable Moments

There are almost too many memorable RHOBH moments to count. Over the last 12 seasons, the women of Beverly Hills have delivered some of the most iconic reality TV moments to date. From puppy gate to Lisa Rinna and Kim’s explosive fight in Amsterdam, the cast of RHOBH knows how to make good TV.
There are currently 12 seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Bravo has yet to reveal when Season 13 will premiere. However, in a June 2023 interview with Variety, Garcelle Beauvais teased that fans may have to wait a bit for a new season.
“I’m hearing November is our release date,” she told the outlet.

Bravo clearly had a lot of faith in RHOBH because the first season kicked off with 17 episodes. The amount of episodes per season has remained pretty steady, with slight increases here and there. Season 12 had a whopping 24 episodes.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has inspired a couple of Bravo spinoffs.
The first spinoff, Vanderpump Rules, premiered in January 2013. When VPR began, it followed a group of friends that worked together at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant, SUR.
Bravo executed the launch of the show perfectly by seamlessly transitioning from a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode into the premiere of Vanderpump Rules. The two shows were connected by Lisa Vanderpump, of course, but also by the actor Eddie Cibrian. Eddie is RHOBH star Brandi Glanville‘s ex-husband. On the premiere episode of VPR, fans learned that one of Lisa’s waitresses at SUR, Scheana Shay, had an affair with Brandi’s husband during their marriage. Drama, drama, drama!!
The show was a mega success for the network. In fact, Vanderpump Rules celebrated a decade on the air this year.
The second spinoff of RHOBH, Vanderpump Dogs, premiered on the streaming service Peacock in June 2021.
Sometimes, it is hard to be in a marriage to a woman who is starring in the Real Housewives franchise. However, no matter how exhausting the Bravo cameras may be, the spouse should always know that if they choose to behave badly, they most likely will be caught in the process and judged by a court of reality TV fans.
There are moments that the Real Housewives husbands make the series better, like in the Real Housewives of New Jersey. But there are times when the man of the household just doesn’t live up to his promise and has to be put on blast. These are some of the worst Real Housewives husbands to be featured in the franchise.
To everyone else, Peter Thomas came across as an easygoing businessman. He was often warm and welcoming, and even took the Real Housewives of Atlanta crew on a trip back to Jamacia to share his upbringing and island life. However, while he was nice to others, he wasn’t always as loving as he should have been to Cynthia Bailey. There were times that Bravo cameras would catch Peter talking down to the former supermodel and make her feel less than within their marriage.
Not to mention Peter made some extremely questionable business decisions. During Season 3, Cynthia shared that she had loaned Peter $20,000 for his bar, Uptown, when it went into foreclosure. However, at the time, Peter denied it. Their finances put a major strain on their relationship. It didn’t help that Peter also created a rift between Cynthia, her mother, and her sister, Malorie Bailey.

Even though anyone married to Ramona Singer from the Real Housewives of New York City could be considered a saint, Mario Singer was not. The power couple portrayed themselves as happily married for multiple seasons. Many found it hard to believe when the duo announced their divorce in 2016. During the early seasons, Mario was often caught flirting with other women, but he did seem well matched for the Singer Stinger, as they were married for 20 years.
However, in 2014, RHONY fans learned that the father of one had been having an ongoing affair. Page Six revealed that Ramona had caught her husband with Kasey Dexter in their Hamptons home. Ironically, Mario learned in 2018 that his mistress-turned-girlfriend had an affair of her own and soon dumped her.
While Emily Simpson is a breath of fresh air on the Real Housewives of Orange County, her husband, Shane Simpson, wasn’t all he was cracked up to be. Even though he has since turned over a new leaf, it is hard for fans to forget just how nasty he was to his wife during the early seasons.
When Emily first came on RHOC, Shane clearly didn’t appreciate how hot of a wife he had. Emily was an accomplished lawyer, witty and beautiful to boot. Shane often abandoned his wife on outings and even made her cry once or twice with his harsh words that he claimed were just his way of joking.
Michael Darby

What can be said about Michael Darby? The Real Housewives of Potomac star has gotten himself into trouble more times than fans can count. It’s often resulted in embarrassing his wife, Ashley Darby. Many Bravo followers, as well as Ashley, became aware that Michael enjoyed holding financial power over much younger women.
Michael was accused of grabbing the butt of a male camera operator during Real Housewives of Potomac Season 5. The Australian native also was caught having sex with a woman in his Las Vegas hotel room. While Ashley tried her best to hide her husband’s indiscretions, the truth couldn’t be contained. Everyone figured out just how bad of a husband Michael was.
Don’t let his plastic surgeon credentials fools you, Lenny Hochstein may be the most two-faced Real Housewives husband of all time. The father of two has always been MIA when appearing on the Real Housewives of Miami, but no one had any idea he would become such a villain. Initially, Lisa Hochstein loved to tell everyone she was Lenny’s Barbie. However, it seemed the doctor had a knack for collecting multiple Barbie dolls and entertaining them at his Star Island mansion.
In a hot mic moment for the ages, RHOM fans heard Lenny admit to having an affair on camera. The scene had Lenny telling his friend he was no longer sleeping with Lisa, as he wanted to abstain. The moronic reasoning continued as Lenny revealed if he was intimate with his wife, he felt it would be cheating on his mistress, whom he really loved.
