Rachel (neé Raquel) Leviss is reportedly not filming season 11 of Vanderpump Rules as she prioritizes her mental health and leads a “slower life” in Arizona. After being at the center of the Bravo series’ “Scandoval” cheating scandal between Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, Raquel reportedly checked into a mental health facility for 100 days, per TMZ. The reality star has also changed her name to Rachel following the drama that ensued on the show’s last season.
Since checking out of the facility in July, Rachel has been spotted running errands in the Tucson, Arizona area. On Tuesday, August 8, she went makeup-free and sported a comfy and casual look consisting of a vintage Pink Floyd shirt, black biker shorts, sandals, gray socks, a backpack, and glasses.
Per TMZ, she picked up some water bottles from the drug store and was also spotted at a local Massage Envy, where she was scheduling an appointment. The report says she didn’t attempt to disguise herself, but she was soft-spoken during her interaction with the Massage Envy employee to not draw any attention.
According to a report by Entertainment Tonight, Rachel is laying low as she stays with family in Arizona. “Rachel has been receiving letters from people opening up about their own mental health journey and applauding her for taking time away from filming to focus on her mental health,” an anonymous source told the outlet. “Rachel is in a really good place and has been enjoying a slower pace of life. She’s been doing Pilates and often goes hiking.”
Page Six last reported that Rachel was “playing hardball” as she allegedly wanted to make more money while negotiating her contract with Bravo. Her Vanderpump Rules co-stars, on the other hand, have been filming season 11 and don’t believe she’ll be returning to the series since she hadn’t shown up to set. With recent reports that she hasn’t been filming, it sounds like we may not see more of Rachel’s story unfold, if at all.
