Vanderpump Rules’ Raquel Leviss breaks down in tears as she opens up cruel trolling
VANDERPUMP Rules star Raquel Leviss ended up in tears live on stage after opening up about cruel trolls and the toll it's taken on her mental health.
The star joined stars of HayU's Below Deck, Real Housewives and other US reality show favourites for New York City's Bravocon over the weekend.
Speaking on the Bravo2Bravo panel, where she compared experiences of being in the spotlight with faves including Million Dollar Listing's Josh Flagg, Below Deck's Aesha Scott and Summer House's Ciara Miller, Raquel found herself unexpectedly moved as she was asked about her treatment online by fans who have taken exception to her.
Admitting she finds it hard, Raquel teared up as she admitted: "I feel like I've always been true to who I am, and I think being newly single I'm exploring a different side of life.
"I'm trying to figure out who I am as a person, I've realised now that I have co-dependant relief systems put in place and I'm breaking those.
"And so.. I think I'm constantly evolving and I think being a part of this show at the very beginning, I wanted to be the girl I am sitting before you right now."
The three-day event proved to be emotional for many of the stars involved, with unresolved tensions often bubbling up on stage throughout every panel.

On Saturday's Sur'ving Up The Latest Vanderpump Rules, co-star Tom Sandoval hinted that stars were in talks for a spin-off of the long-running reality series, which in itself is a spin-off of the wildly popular Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
"There's a lot of ideas that get thrown around and you know, obviously things like be sort of speculated or maybe worked on," he told the audience when responding to fan questions.
"I've heard a lot of other show concepts that have been thrown around but you know right now there's nothing like solidified to do that. Obviously."
We can't wait to here what they plan to Sur-ve up next over with the rest of the team…
Vanderpump Rules is available to stream now on HayU in the UK and Ireland.
