Raquel Leviss’ glamorous first name was a perfect fit for her years as a beauty pageant competitor. In 2016, she was crowned Miss Sonoma County, and she later competed in the Miss California and Miss Malibu USA pageants, as noted in her bio for Us Weekly. When she joined “Vanderpump Rules” in 2016 as James Kennedy’s girlfriend, she was also introduced as Raquel. It’s the only name we’ve ever known her by.
But following her volatile “Vanderpump Rules” scandal, Leviss was hit with a lot of hate from furious fans and former friends. She went so far as to file a restraining order against co-star Scheana Shay, and the court paperwork is under her real name, which is Rachel Leviss, according to Page Six. In a video uploaded to TikTok, Leviss’ high school yearbook photo was also shown with the name Rachel Leviss underneath it. “Her name is even fake,” the TikTok user exclaimed. “When you find out Raquel went to your husband’s high school and her real name is actually Rachel,” read the original caption of the clip.

Fans may have missed a bit of a clue to Leviss’ real name, though. On the ninth season of “Vanderpump Rules,” Kennedy proposed to his girlfriend of five years with a “Rachella” themed festival in Palm Springs, California. Rachella, not Raquella. Ironically, Leviss’ future lover, Tom Sandoval, helped foot the bill for the pricey party.
