Rachel Leviss is looking back at her former friendships with the cast of Vanderpump Rules.
Rachel, 29, first started appearing on the hit Bravo reality series in season five back in 2016. She left the show after season nine in 2023 following the revelation that she had been having an affair with co-star Tom Sandoval while he was still in a relationship with Ariana Madix.
After the affair was revealed, almost everyone from the cast cut ties with her, except for Tom, 42, whom she continued to date for a few months before splitting in the summer of 2023.
During a new episode of her Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, Rachel admitted that she misses “everyone” from the cast, except for one person.

“Heck, I even miss Lala [Kent],” Rachel continued. “I miss Lala’s feisty energy. Thinking back on some of the interactions, our most heated moments, I think there’s part of me now that understands Lala a lot more after experiencing this entire scandal. I have an appreciation for Lala.”
Despite a lot of tense moments and never really getting along, Rachel admitted that she also misses Katie Maloney.
“Even Katie, there was a moment for Katie and I back when James [Kennedy] brought us all to Palm Springs for our surprise engagement, and Katie and I had a good moment in the pool,” Rachel recalled. “That could have been a good friendship too.”
As for why she and Katie didn’t develop a better friendship, Rachel said she believes that it’s because she “did not prioritize those friendships.”
“I think I miss everyone except for James,” Rachel said of her ex-fiancé.
Even though she says she misses “everyone” (but James), Rachel did not mention Sandoval or Ariana, who she frequently bashes on her podcast and even filed a revenge porn lawsuit against them, claiming they sent around an explicit video of her. Sandoval and Ariana have both denied Rachel‘s claims.
