While Raquel Leviss filed a restraining order against Vanderpump Rules costar Scheana Shay, she ultimately skipped their court hearing on Wednesday, March 29.“When Rachel realized that she would lose in court and that she couldn’t just drop it, she decided to not show up at all,” Shay’s attorney, Neama Rahmani, told Us Weekly in a statement on Wednesday, using Leviss’ birth name. “We were prepared to expose Rachel’s lies, but instead she will have to live knowing that she betrayed two of her best friends: Scheana and Ariana [Madix].”The former beauty queen, 28, filed a temporary restraining order against Shay, 37, after claiming that her Vanderpump Rules costar had allegedly hit her when she learned about Leviss’ affair with Tom Sandoval.Us confirmed earlier this month that Sandoval, 40, and Madix, 37, had ended their nine-year relationship after the TomTom founder had cheated with Leviss.“I want to first and foremost apologize to everyone I’ve hurt through this process.

Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana,” the Missouri native wrote in an Instagram statement on March 7. “I made mistakes, I was selfish and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love.

No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly. I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us.

I feel really horrible about that. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana.”After news of the Schwartz & Sandy’s owner’s months-long secret affair with Leviss made headlines, the California native alleged that she had suffered injuries following an altercation with Shay.
