Katie Maloney learn Rachel Leviss‘ tell all interview no Us Weekly – and he had some thoughts.

On the Wednesday, August 14, episode of their “With Respect” podcast, Katie, 37, and producer Dayna Kathan expressed frustration after seeing Rachel pondering the consequences of her cheating scandal with Tom Sandoval.

“He’s moving the post again, everybody. I have to laugh about it because I don’t know what he’s trying to achieve,” commented Katie. “But it’s crazy because he wants to talk about how he remembers his friendship, but in the beginning none of us were his friends.”

Katie specifically pointed to a quote where Rachel, 29, expressed her frustration at the lack of support she received from some friends.

“That’s what he was promoting that no one is that close. I wasn’t that close to him. That’s why he excuses everything – all his behavior with it Tom Schwartz or Ariana [Madix] – it was because [she] it wasn’t that far [with anyone],” Katie recalled. “He issued a restraining order Scheana [Shay]. Who would take the f-king phone, babe? If anyone was going to pick up the phone, it was going to be Scheana. He accuses everyone.”

In March 2023, Rachel made headlines about her relationship with Sandoval as she and Ariana called it quits after nearly ten years of dating. Then Rachel checked into a 90-day mental health facility, and left Vanderpump Rules and filed a lawsuit against Sandoval and Ariana for retaliation for pornography, wiretapping and invasion of privacy.

Rachel said Us earlier this month he missed the friendship of the past since the scandal.

“I haven’t heard from anyone. I think the saddest part of all is feeling betrayed by my friends. I know how that feels because I was someone who betrayed a friend,” he explained. But in the most difficult times, I just thought that these are my true friends and they will love me no matter what and they will want to hear me. It just wasn’t like that.”

The former reality star said it was “sad” when he saw the way people turned on him.

“I had to learn the hard way to completely cut off contact with all my friends … so that was a really difficult time. But I have been able to renew some of my cherished friendships [with] trusted people,” he said. “Now we have come to this freedom [where] I don’t need to guard what I say anymore because everything is already there. This is my new life and I really have nothing to hide.”

Katie had a harsh message from Rachel on Wednesday’s podcast, “She’s ruining Ariana because she—she brought her boyfriend into her house while she wasn’t at the funeral. You’re suing him because you saw s—t on his phone. You need to get your head checked, Rachel.”

He added: “To take everyone out, to drag me along, bad king, king—you tell me, the way you made me feel when I looked at your king.” face and I told you and now you want to come and say this.”

Katie proposed to Rachel after over a year of no contact.

“Log out. Get out of the king’s internet. Go open a Pilates studio. Find a good man, anyone who will fall in love with you and have a simple life. Nobody wants to f-king talk to you about the s-you’re doing. You’re crazy. Leave us all alone,” he concluded. “You’re crazy that we weren’t just hitting you, you dived out, you disappeared, you went to your mental health center, you blocked everyone who tried to touch you from afar, it didn’t happen.”

While talking to UsRachel said she was happy to move on after leaving Bravo behind.

“The dark times were very dark, and there seemed to be no way out for a very long time. I [decided] i need[ed] so that we can start making better decisions,” he added. “It took me a while to integrate everything I learned into my real life, but I feel that I have finally been able to live for myself.”
