Rachel Leviss, known as Raquel, has expressed her reluctance to return to the reality TV show 'Vanderpump Rules' after facing backlash for her affair with co-star Tom Sandoval. In an interview with Us Weekly, Leviss humorously mentioned that it would require extensive therapy for her to consider a comeback to the show, emphasizing the importance of protecting her mental health and living authentically.
Leviss indicated that she does not see a positive future on the series due to the unhealthy dynamics and the focus on past controversies. She watched Season 11 of 'Pump Rules' but found it challenging as it primarily revolved around the aftermath of her affair, leaving her unable to defend herself.
While she ruled out appearing on the spinoff show 'The Valley,' Leviss hinted at the possibility of participating in a competition show in the future. She reflected on missing the friendships she had with her former co-stars but acknowledged feeling betrayed by them following the fallout from her relationship with Sandoval.
Leviss shared her struggles with the situation, including the need to cut off communication with her friends and the heartbreak of their quick judgment. Despite the difficulties, she emphasized the importance of healthy friendships and moving on from past conflicts.
After seeking treatment at a mental health facility and returning to Arizona, Leviss has been focusing on her podcast and building new friendships in her yoga community. She highlighted the significance of fostering positive relationships and avoiding toxic dynamics that she experienced in the past.
