Yesterday’s price is not today’s price! After the amount of harassment and criticism Raquel Leviss faced in Vanderpump Rules Season 10, it’s no surprise the reality star is reportedly pushing for a raise before coming back for Season 11.

“She wants to get as much money as she possibly can so she is playing hardball,” an inside source told Page Six.

Filming for Season 11 has already commenced. But the source claimed Leviss and Bravo should reach an agreement by the time the cast goes on their trip to Lake Tahoe next week.

“For the right price, she will be there,” the insider said.

Vanderpump Rules hit record-breaking ratings in Season 10 after Tom Sandoval was exposed for having an affair with Leviss. His co-star and now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, had found a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone in March, marking the end of their nine-year relationship. The scandal, known as Scandoval in the Bravoverse, helped the show earn its first Emmy Award nomination.

And in a hilarious turn of events, the Emmy nomination has brought more fans to Leviss’s corner who also think she should be paid more.

“I hope the entire cast, crew, and people at Bravo have thanked Raquel and Sandoval for creating Scandoval and making Vanderpump Rules relevant again,” one fan wrote. “Without them, none of them would have all these appearances, sponsorships or Emmy nominations.”

Though she is definitely gearing up to return for Season 11, the source told Page Six Leviss is “genuinely concerned for her well-being.” And returning to the show likely won’t be easy. Madix has already confirmed she will not be filming scenes with Sandoval or Leviss.

“I have nothing to say to either of them,” Madix told The New York Times. “Our show is very real and follows a real group of friends, and neither of them are in the group of friends, so, good luck.”

All ten seasons of Vanderpump Rules are now streaming on Peacock.
