Unbothered Raquel Leviss shows off bikini bod in poolside pics after ‘Vanderpump Rules’ exit

Reality TV

The cameras won’t “leaf” Raquel Leviss alone.

The “Vanderpump Rules” alum was photographed looking carefree and chilled out in a foliage-patterned bathing suit after confirming she won’t return to the series.

The former Bravolebrity showed off her bikini bod Wednesday while going for a swim and relaxing poolside in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Leviss accessorized her swimwear with a pair of circular sunglasses.

The 28-year-old wandered into the pool and waded around before swimming to the other side.

When Leviss wasn’t lounging in the pool, she sunbathed on an outdoor daybed filled with pillows.

At one point, the former reality star put hair hair up in a loose high bun while looking at her phone.

Throughout her pool day, Leviss appeared unbothered and content – despite finding herself at the center of headlines once again.

The former beauty pageant contestant was featured on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, “Just B,” this week where she made several accusations against her former network and co-stars.

In addition to sharing details from her months-long affair with “unavailable” Tom Sandoval, she also addressed her departure from the franchise.

“Hell no, [I’m not returning]. I refuse to not respect myself on that level where I would endure that emotional abuse any longer, and I can’t do that to myself,” she told Frankel on Friday’s episode.

Leviss was most likely referring to the explosive Season 10 reunion where she faced off against her former friends – including Sandoval’s ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix – as they hurled several insults at her.

“Absolutely I was emotionally abused,” Leviss said of the volatile reunion, noting that “in the moment, I felt like I deserved it.”

Leviss also went on to claim that she has “not seen a single penny” from filming, but sources told Page Six that she actually earned $20,000 per episode.

“I think she got very well paid,” Lisa Vanderpump teased to TMZ on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, both Sandoval and Madix have returned to film Season 11 of the show, which has been in production since early this summer.
