Raquel Leviss FINALLY unfollows Tom Sandoval on Instagram after she accused Bravo of ‘rewarding’ him for cheating scandal… but the Vanderpump Rules star STILL follows her
Raquel Leviss has finally taken the step of unfollowing Tom Sandoval on Instagram, although he still currently follows the former pageant queen.
The TV personality, 28, who recently wowed in a bikini while soaking up the sun in Arizona, made the decision to unfollow the reality star, 40, nearly six months after their cheating scandal came to light.
Earlier this year, in March, Ariana Madix discovered intimate Facetime videos between Raquel and Tom on his phone, promptly ending their nine-year relationship.
The cheating scandal – which has since been dubbed Scandoval – was particularly played out towards the end of the 10th season of Vanderpump Rules, as well as the heated season 10 reunion.
After that, Leviss checked into a mental health facility and left last month in July, but has made the decision to stay in Arizona and not film the upcoming 11th season of the popular Bravo series, which is currently in production.

Going further, the TV personality made the decision to unfollow the reality star for nearly six months since their cheating scandal came to light.
Despite Raquel taking the big step of removing Sandoval from her Instagram feed, the founder of TomTom Leviss is currently still following.
Her moves come shortly after she called out Andy Cohen for claiming she was “heavily medicated” while filming the season 10 Vanderpump Rules reunion, which taped back in March.
While appearing on the Just B podcast with Bethenny Frankel, the reality star admitted she was hurt by the Bravo host’s recent interview with Variety, in which he attributed her lack of emotion during the three-part special to either “really medicinal or really out’. in touch with her role in the Scandoval drama.
“To say I have to be heavily medicated because my behavior was erratic or because I had no emotions is not okay in my eyes,” Leviss told listeners.
She continued, “I feel like that violates some sort of HIPAA law. And making such assumptions is harmful to a person.’
HIPAA, short for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, applies to healthcare professionals.
The federal law was created to prevent patients’ medical records from being made public without their consent or knowledge.
The former beauty pageant queen, who graduated from Sonoma State University in 2018, further revealed that she started taking drugs “around the time” she joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules in 2015.

Leviss further confirmed that she is “medicated” and has “been on antidepressants for a number of years now.”
“I mean, I know that’s confidential information,” Frankel replied. “Whether it was true or not – or speculation – I just don’t know where the line is.”
The Real Housewives of New York City alum also pointed out that during the reunion, the Leviss costars even threw a “pill bottle” around and asked each other if anyone wanted “a Xanax.”
“This is basically — it’s a non-traditional workplace, but I would imagine there are even some workplace rules in a strip club — it’s still a workplace,” said the mother of one.
Cohen made the comment about Leviss’ state of mind while saying he was “concerned” about her “mental health during the reunion” amid heated backlash over her affair with Tom Sandoval, behind the back of his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix.
Just weeks later, the television host apologized, suspecting she had been “really medicated.”
While also speaking to Frankel, she claimed that Sandoval was “awarded” by Bravo for his role in the publicized cheating scandal, such as getting “editing rights” and “being offered a producer credit for season 11.”
However, the network recently denied the claims in a statement to Entertainment tonight. “Tom Sandoval was never offered a producer credit in season 11 and had absolutely no creative control over editing during any season of Vanderpump Rules.”
Leviss’ appearance on Bethenny’s podcast comes after Lisa Vanderpump confirmed that the former pageant queen will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules to film the show’s 11th season.

As I recently spoke with TMZ, the restorer said, “While she was at the facility, her team texted and emailed us. We wanted to make sure she was in a good place first. I went one-on-one with her.’
“She talked about coming back, the team got in touch, but I think in the end she decided not to. The cast doesn’t really believe what she’s saying, so there’s no point in her (coming back).’
“I talked to her and we talked about doing a one-on-one. I wanted to talk about her growth and her thoughts after being in the facility.”
Regarding the reasoning behind Leviss choosing not to return, Lisa responded with, “Oh, I don’t know.” I really don’t understand what she’s doing.’
