The document was a dismissal form that the court asked us to submit, and I wanted to show Scheana my intentions and that we had informed the judge we weren\u2019t moving forward \u2013 and it was an explanation at the reunion to alleviate Scheana\u2019s concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Scheana\u2019s attorney,\u00a0<b>Neama Rahmani<\/b>, told\u00a0<i>Life &amp; Style<\/i>\u00a0that there was \u201cno way\u201d Raquel could simply \u201cdrop\u201d the restraining order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRachel had Andy \u2018serve\u2019 Scheana with a document during the reunion, but the papers have no legal meaning,\u201d Neama said in her statement. \u201cIt was a request to dismiss a complaint or a civil lawsuit, but Rachel had requested a permanent restraining order, which is something completely different. There is no way for Rachel to \u2018drop\u2019 the temporary restraining order before next week\u2019s hearing. This is California law and even on the court\u2019s website. Even if Rachel had the correct document, which she didn\u2019t, it wasn\u2019t filed with the court. There is no file stamp in the top right corner. This was just another public relations stunt by Rachel and her team. If Rachel really wanted to make this go away, she would come out and publicly say the \u2018punch\u2019 never happened and she is sorry for all the harm she caused Scheana, Ariana, and her other friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/did-scheana-shay-hit-raquel-leviss-rumors-legal-action-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid the Scandoval drama, Scheana Shay might have gotten into it with Raquel Leviss.
