Raquel Levisswill be addressing her actions head-on.
TheVanderpump Rulesstar, 28, will attend the show’s season 10 reunion in person this week to discuss her affair withTom Sandoval, Bravo confirms to PEOPLE.
The news comes after the Los Angeles Superior Court granted Leviss a restraining order against costarScheana Shaybecause the women allegedly got into a physical altercation following news that Sandoval, 40, had beencheating on his girlfriendof nine years,Ariana Madix, with Leviss, whose birth name is Rachel.
The lawsuit, as it stands, prohibits Shay from being within 100 yards of Leviss.
“So they can’t both be physically present at the reunion,” Shay’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani previously told PEOPLE. “Rachel not only betrayed her friends, but she has sabotaged this reunion because it just can’t happen in any meaningful way while this order is in place.”

Rahmani said that even if one of the reality stars calls in virtually to the reunion, legally, they cannot speak to each other. “Potentially, one of them could Zoom in and appear virtually but Scheana still can’t communicate with Rachel either directly or through an intermediary,” the lawyer said.
Last week, Shay, 37, confirmed on herScheananiganspodcast that she, too, plans to attend the reunion in person.
“As far as I know,I’m fully intending on being there in person,” Shay said on Friday’s episode, adding that “I have no say over how this logistically works out.”
The mom of23-month old daughter Summer Moonadded, “We also have another COVID test we have to do before the reunion. So that is not up to me whatsoever. I just wanna make that very clear.”
