Raquel Leviss is finally in talks to return to “Vanderpump Rules” as filming resumed earlier this week, according to a report.
The reality star, that has been at the center of Scandoval drama that propelled the show to new heights, is reportedly negotiating with Bravo on a deal to return for Season 11.
Sources tell TMZ that talks haven’t been all that smooth, though, as several insiders report of “complications” in sealing the deal.
The 28-year-old is currently receiving treatment for her mental health at a facility she’s been in since filming the Season 10 reunion in March.
Her well-being had taken a toll after her months-long affair with co-star Tom Sandoval was exposed that month.
As Leviss gears up to leave the facility in the coming weeks, Bravo bosses have began conversations with her team to get her back on board for the next season.
Sources told the outlet that salary negotiations are top of the list.
The outlet adds that Leviss is planning on being discharged from the facility “soon,” meaning that Bravo bosses were able to start discussions 3 days ago.
It’s been reported that the current cast members — including Sandoval, 40, and his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix — are all returning.
Lala Kent recently confirmed that cameras were set to begin rolling this week.
“That’s, like, giving me anxiety,” she said during an Amazon livestream Monday. “They sent us what our schedule may look like — it’s subject to change — and I’m just like, ‘Oh, we’re really in it again.’”
Leviss hasn’t seen her co-stars since the explosive reunion, which aired in May and June.
During a one-on-one interview with host Andy Cohen, she admitted she was still unsure about returning to the series.
“Um, I don’t know. It’s in question right now,” Leviss told the Bravo honcho, adding that she’s interested in returning.

Madix was faced with horror heartbreak in March while out cheering on Sandoval at his cover band’s gig in West Hollywood.
She discovered a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone, prompting her to dump him after nearly a decade together.
The secret tryst kickstarted in July 2022, but it wasn’t until early March that the world learned about it.
