Lisa Vanderpump confirmed that Raquel Leviss will not be returning to “Vanderpump Rules” — saying there’s no point for her to return because the cast doesn’t “believe anything she says.”
After a jaw-dropping Season 10 that saw Leviss have a months-long affair with Tom Sandoval behind pal Ariana Madix’s back, Leviss was ultimately shunned by her co-stars.
At the explosive Season 10 reunion, the Bravolebrity was slammed by her castmates, including Madix, who made it clear there was no chance of a reconciliation.
Leviss, 28, later checked into a mental health facility in Wickenburg, Ariz., in a desperate bid to work on herself.
“When she was in the facility, her team texted and emailed us,” Vanderpump told TMZ Thursday. “We wanted to make sure she was in a good place first and I was going to do a one-on-one with her.”
“She talked about it [coming back]. Her team reached out, but in the end I think she decided not to. The cast don’t really believe anything she says, so there’s no point in her [return],” the “RHOBH” alum added.
When asked why Leviss isn’t coming back to the show, Vanderpump said, “I don’t know. I don’t really understand anything she does.”
The former beauty pageant queen spent three months at a mental health facility and checked out on July 14.
Since then, the reality star reportedly “played hardball” with Bravo execs regarding the salary portion of her contract for “Pump Rules” Season 11, which has been in production since early July.
When quizzed on rumors the show won’t be as successful without Leviss, Vanderpump laughed, “It was successful before her, and before she wanted to join and hooked up with James [Kennedy].”
Leviss recently sat down for a tell-all interview with Bethenny Frankel on her “Just B” podcast, during which she claimed that Sandoval was offered a producer role on the show.
“I think he was being rewarded for the Scandoval of it all,” she told the “RHONY” alum. “He’s not technically a producer,” she continued. “He’s been on the series from day one, Season 1.

“I don’t know if I’m even able to disclose this information, but he did tell me during negotiations for Season 11 that he was offered a producer credit for Season 11,” Leviss added.
But the claim was shrugged off by Vanderpump, who called it “hilarious.”
“No, he’s not going to be a producer,” she told the outlet. “I’m the executive producer and creator of the show and I never heard that before. But I don’t really understand anything she says.”
