Breaking Down the Biggest Reality TV Feuds of 2023
Reality TV provided Us with plenty of entertainment, drama and feuds in 2023.
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 was already airing when the news broke in March Tom Sandoval And Ariana Madix had called it quits after almost ten years of dating due to his affair with Raquel “Rachel” Leviss. As a result, cameras have captured more footage for a new season finale detailing the drama.
Sandoval and Raquel then found themselves on the run with most of their costars as everyone gathered around Ariana. After resolving their issues during the reunion special later that month, Raquel checked herself into a mental health facility and confirmed that she was leaving the show.
Lala Kent called Raquel’s decision a “mockery” after season 11 wrapped production.
‘She should have come back. I think she would have been very surprised,” Lala said on an August episode of the “Give Them Lala” podcast. “I don’t think reality TV is for everyone. It’s a very intense environment. If you’re not as mentally strong as fk, it can break you. That’s certainly possible. Now to say that Raquel was a victim of something, I don’t know. What I do know is that you’ve decided to sleep with your best friend’s partner of ten years. You didn’t have to do that. No one forced you to do it and no one asked you to do it.”
Sandoval, in turn, returned for season 11 and was seemingly able to get to a better place with different costars as the tide began to turn. The trailer for the upcoming season, which will air on Bravo in January 2024, hinted at a reconciliation between Sandoval and Scheana Shay.
Meanwhile, at Netflix, several Selling sunset stars disagreed for two seasons. Chrishel Stause And Nicole Young started their feud during season 6. Nicole accused Chrishell of only getting real estate listings because of their boss Jason Oppenheim was in love with her, causing Chrisshell to fire back.
Fellow employees of the Oppenheim Group Chelsea Lazkani And Bre Tiesi also had several disagreements when Chelsea shared her concerns about the newcomer she was raising a child with Nick Cannon – who has several children by six different women.
Both Selling Sunset feuds remained unresolved at the end of the show’s seventh season.
