Y’all I’m sorry, it’s not like Raquel murdered someone. Part 3 of the reunion was a little to aggressive for my liking, it actually made me feel sorry for her. #PumpRules

But, Ariana’s fans pointed out that she was still hurting from Raquel’s fresh betrayal when the reunion was filmed.
Should have waited for the final reunion to air before making this decision🥴 Her nasty words weren’t very glamorous
