After months of using her podcast as a platform to call out her former Vanderpump Rules co-stars, Rachel Leviss recently took a break from her weekly ranting and allowed someone else to go rogue take the reins.
On a recent episode of Rachel Goes Rogue, Rachel’s publicist, Juliette Harris, took over hosting duties for her client, whom she said was “on an amazing vacation” and therefore unable to record the episode. Juliette, who has appeared on Rachel’s podcast in the past, explained that she would be going over different headlines and adding her “perspective of 24 years doing public relations in the entertainment industry” in order to “give people some different things to think about.”
While Juliette did proceed to discuss different topics on the episode, all of them involved either Rachel, Rachel’s former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ co-stars, the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ spin-off The Valley, or all of the above.
Unsurprisingly, Rachel’s rep had some especially damning words for Ariana Madix, who was friends with Rachel until March 2023, when she learned that Tom Sandoval– her boyfriend of nearly a decade– was having a months-long affair with Rachel behind her back.
As The Ashley previously told you, Rachel is currently suing Ariana for claims of Revenge P0rn; Sandoval for Eavesdropping; and both for Invasion of Privacy and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, stemming from alleged NSFW videos involving Rachel and Sandoval that were allegedly recorded by Sandoval without Rachel’s consent and ultimately discovered on Sandoval’s phone by Ariana. Despite Rachel’s lawsuit against Ariana and Sandoval being an ongoing matter– and Ariana denying that she ever shared said-videos, as Rachel alleged in her lawsuit– Juliette called out the exes for committing “illegal” acts.
“The scandal was an unfortunate decision-making and we don’t need to go into that bad mistake,” she stated. “That’s one thing. Two things can be true. So, on the other side, these behaviors are still illegal and it’s 100 percent rational to sue or take legal action for such illegal activity, which is also true.
“At the end of the day, illegal activities get legal consequences,” she continued, before going on to state that she believes people are “failing to see” Ariana’s wrongdoing in the situation because “they love the show or they love Ariana and they feel bad for Ariana.”
Juliette argued that if “enough illegal activity” hadn’t occurred, the case would’ve been thrown out by now, which it has not been. She also claimed that Rachel was the victim in the situation, citing the alleged videos/text messages.
“Those videos being talked about was done with intention,” she stated. “Those videos being sent with horrible text was done with intention. Maybe if it was done to you, you’d roll over and take it, but good for Rachel that she’s not. I’ll stand behind her on that.”
Juliette also slammed Ariana for not approaching the Scandoval “with grace” and simply “walking away” from her relationship with Sandoval after learning about the affair.
“She could’ve said, ‘I was cheated on,’” Juliette argued. “Let’s not forget there was already huge problems within the relationship and it wasn’t going to last and everybody already knew that. It’s been confirmed and re-confirmed since this all happened.
“So, knowing that you were probably exiting a relationship, you could have just walked away from it,” she continued. “You could have just said, ‘I got cheated on and I’m not happy about it.’”
Regarding Rachel’s decision to take legal action against Ariana and Sandoval, Juliette said Rachel is “doing exactly what she should do.”
“She’s holding people accountable for their actions because nobody on the cast has any problems holding Rachel accountable for what she did, right?” Juliette stated, adding, “They do seem to have problems, however, holding Tom accountable to the same level of Rachel.”

Like the ‘Grace’ Ratchet Rachel gave arianna when she shagged twatty tom? Nah, jog on
Show grace!? Well Miss Juliette, bless your heart you twit and let me explain! When ones closest “friend” (I use the term very loosely) bangs your other half for months on end, seems to me the Ratchett one should have showed some effing grace by NOT screwing her friends man! Talk to me about showing grace! You lady are as delusional as your client!
I can’t stand any of them, especially Ariana, she had no problem laughing at Kristen when she was on WWHL with Andy, laughing about her cheating with Tom behind Kristen’s back, what a hoe.
Gross comment
Omg go away. Are you upset she got more famous from your scandal than you did? Phone isn’t ringing off the hook with offers? Do you need a clearer sign than that to go away? Go away, go away, GO AWAYYYYY!
She’s so dumb she still won’t get it
She’s just as delulu as Rachel
Rachel has some serious problems
Soo Rachel slept with her best friend Ariana’s long-time boyfriend Tom Sandoval and now she’s holding them accountable for it? Make it make sense..
