It’s all happening! After months of speculation over whether Raquel Leviss will return to Vanderpump Rules, the disgraced reality star has reportedly begun negotiations for her return — even though Season 11 began filming without her earlier this week.

While Leviss — who’s had her fair share of public scrutiny since her months-long affair with Ariana Madix‘s now-former boyfriend Tom Sandoval — has yet to officially sign on, sources with direct knowledge of the situation told TMZ that negotiations finally began this week.

“Bravo, production and Raquel’s team began talking about a new contract just three days ago,” the source explained to the outlet.

The specifics were not disclosed, although it’s “standard operating procedure” in the entertainment industry to prioritize the salary first, per TMZ.

According to sources, negotiations were stalled because Bravo didn’t want to begin production while Leviss was still seeking treatment in the mental health facility she voluntarily checked herself into more than two months ago. They feared that if they rushed into things and brought her back too quickly, they could face legal troubles if she were to backslide.

Sources claim that talks of her return finally began this week because she will leave the facility “soon.” They added that “production is ready when she’s ready.”

The last time we saw Leviss on our screens, she made several secret (and tear-filled) confessions to cameras following the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion. The former Sur waitress revealed that she and Sandoval had hooked up “multiple times” during Scheana Shay‘s wedding week in Mexico and once in his shared home with Madix while she was out of town for a funeral — despite vehemently denying up until that moment that anything happened during those times.

The news of her potential return comes days after Bravo’s reported plans to create a Vanderpump Rules spinoff that focuses on the beloved OGs. According to Deadline, former stars Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute are rumored to join the eight-episode series.
