‘Pump Rules’ fans ‘scared’ of emotionless Raquel Leviss at reunion: ‘Unfazed shell’
“Vanderpump Rules” fans were taken aback by Raquel Leviss’ “heartless” lack of emotion during part two of the Season 10 reunion Wednesday.
“It freaks me out how Raquel has ZERO emotions seeing this entire thing unfold in front of her,” a Bravo fan account tweeted.
“No compassion or empathy? Like it’s legit scary how frigid and detached she seems.”
Another pointed out how the rest of the cast was seen displaying some sort of emotion — whether anger or sadness — but Leviss, 28, was the only one who remained stoic.
“It’s also wild to see everyone getting SO emotional: Tom [Sandoval], Ariana [Madix] and Scheana [Shay] are crying, James [Kennedy] can’t stay in his chair, [Tom] Schwartz is taking Xannies — literally everyone BUT Raquel shows emotion… she’s just a totally unfazed shell… scary 😬,” the user wrote.

A third person agreed, “It kills me to see that almost everyone on the panel is crying, yet #Raquel sits there stone faced. Her lack of tears or ANY emotion speaks VOLUMES.”
A segment in particular that drew the most attention to Leviss’ calm demeanor was when Shay, 38, broke down while discussing the dismissal of their restraining order.
The former pageant contestant filed the protective order against her co-star after the pair allegedly got into a physical altercation in March.
Leviss claimed Shay “punched” her once the latter found out about the former’s months-long affair with Sandoval, who was dating Shay’s best friend Madix at the time.
However, Leviss decided to dismiss the order the day of the Season 10 reunion taping later that month.
“I trusted her with everything,” Shay said of her former friend amid tears while Leviss watched from a trailer off set.
Leviss was seen staring blankly at the “Good As Gold” singer on the screen and, at one point, nonchalantly said with a big smile that she perhaps should have written her former BFF a note.
“What is wrong with Raquel, she has zero emotion while Schena is pouring her heart out!” one viewer tweeted after watching the scene.
The Queens of Bravo fan account added, “Scheana is literally having a breakdown over how betrayed she is, and all Raquel can do is smile and make jokes. Rawt!”
A third wrote, “Scheanna [sic] is pouring her heart out and Raquel. Nothing. Zero emotion. Damn girl is heartless.”
A rep for Leviss did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the Bravo star’s reactions — or lack thereof — at the reunion.
However, Leviss has previously hinted as to why she may have atypical responses to problematic situations.
In March, the reality star told Bryiana Dyrdek on social media that she “could relate” to her fellow pageant queen’s autism diagnosis.
According to medical experts, people with autism “have difficulty making appropriate facial expressions at the right times.”
Although, Leviss has yet to confirm any official diagnosis.
Soon after the fallout of her affair with Sandoval, 40, and the taping of the reunion, the Bravolebrity fled to a mental health facility to seek “trauma therapy.”
Her rep told us in April, “Raquel and her family decided months before the relationship was discovered that she needed mental health treatment and ultimately decided she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling.”
An insider added that the treatment was “a long-haul program” and not “short-term.”
