It looks like Vanderpump Rules fans are in for some premature red-flag behavior from Raquel Leviss in this week’s upcoming episode. But don’t let it fool you! Andy Cohen assured us that no one went in to re-edit the scenes since the reality star’s cheating scandal with Tom Sandoval came to light.
While speaking on his Sirius XM podcast Radio Andy, the Bravo boss told listeners, “You’re going to watch Wednesday’s episode. You are going to think that it was recut. It was not recut. This was the episode.”
He continued, “I watched the episode and it had been sent to me weeks ago. I watched it on my sick bed — this episode that’s going to air in two days — I watched it and I was like, ‘People are going to think we did this or moved stuff up.’”
Cohen pointed out that the “conversations that go on between Katie [Maloney] and Lala [Kent] and Raquel are not to be believed in the light of what has come out,” before adding, “But I’m telling y’all — the episode was not touched. This is how it was going to be shown. Which makes it all the more shocking. You won’t believe it.”
In the teaser for the new episode, we see Maloney and Kent grilling Leviss following her Vegas hookup session with RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais‘ married son Oliver Saunders (side note: he did tell the group he was separated from his wife).

While laying in the hotel room bed, Kent says, “I will say this. You drinking? I would never trust you around my man,” to which Leviss responds, “Thank God you don’t have a man to, like, fucking have around,” prompting shocked reactions from all of her fellow co-stars.
In the last couple of weeks, it’s been revealed that Leviss was having a months-long affair with Sandoval after his girlfriend of nearly 10 years, Ariana Madix, discovered a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone. Given the alleged timeline, they could have been together at the time the scenes between Leviss, Kent and Maloney were filmed for this week’s episode.
While production quickly fired back up to film the fallout of “Scandoval” — which they plan to add onto the currently airing Season 10 — Kent further told viewers in an Instagram video that “nothing was re-edited,” but noted that fans will “view it very differently now.”
Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. You can stream new episodes the next day on Peacock.
