Vanderpump Rules' Raquel 'dumps dog at shelter instead of giving pet to her ex'
Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss has been criticised for allegedly giving her dog to a shelter, rather than rehoming him with her ex-partner James Kennedy.
Former couple Raquel, 28, and James, 31, are said to have bought dog Graham together during their relationship, but she's said to have had custody since they split in 2021.
James recently announced that Graham was back with him, posting about their reunion on Instagram earlier this week and saying: "I'll take care of you forever and I love you".
It's been claimed that Raquel had taken the four-legged companion to a shelter and that a charity run by her co-star Lisa Vanderpump, 62, later reunited Graham with James.

Lisa's charity The Vanderpump Dog Foundation is said to have been made aware of Graham's situation and "worked out the reunion" between the dog and Raquel's ex James.
James announced his reunion with Graham yesterday, sharing photos of the pair together. They included a photo that showed them alongside James' girlfriend Ally Lewber.
Alongside the photos, James wrote in the caption: "Look who made his way back home, back into my life." He further commented: "I'll take care of you forever and I love you".

One person wrote: "You are a good person for taking Graham. How could she be so cruel not to give him to you."
Another said: "Glad to see this. Absolutely awful an ex would dump a dog with a rescue rather than reach out to the other most important person in that dog's life. [...] You don't get to do this kind of thing and still get to call yourself a decent human being".
Whilst someone else wrote on Twitter recently: "It's so mean-spiteful and inhumane. Nobody had to drop the dog off anywhere. They could have [contacted] James".
"So gross. She could have just given him back to James," tweeted another person. Whilst someone else wrote on the platform amid the allegation: "This is deplorable".
Another said: "Wow, that's cold. I get if you can no longer care for the dog but knowing the connection the dog has with James why not ask him. I doubt he would of said no."
It's the latest scandal for Raquel - who reportedly recently checked out of a mental health facility after a two month stay - following reports that she had an affair with Tom Sandoval while he was dating their co-star Ariana Madix.
