Raquel Leviss has made her TikTok debut as “Rachel” following two months of intense therapy at The Meadows in Arizona, where she reportedly accrued a $200,000 bill.
As Raquel reportedly reacquaints herself with society after exiting treatment earlier this month and allegedly embraces her government name, Tom Sandoval, who she engaged in a months-long affair with amid production on Vanderpump Rules season 10, has seemingly made amends with Tom Schwartz after a number of tense moments filmed for season 11.
In photos shared by The U.S. Sun on July 15, Sandoval and Schwartz, both 40, were “all smiles” and in good spirits as they visited a number of shops in Los Angeles.
As Schwartz walked alongside his business partner in a bright yellow long-sleeve pullover, black shorts, a black hat, and black slides, Sandoval was seen in a black tank top, khaki pants, and white tennis shoes.

As Pump Rules fans may recall, Sandoval and Schwartz have been seen at odds on a number of occasions during filming. And during an appearance on FOX’s Stars on Mars last month, Schwartz admitted that what Sandoval did to his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, was “incredibly messed up.”
“It seems each time I try to weigh in or talk about, ramble on about it, drivel on, I inevitably sound like I’m somehow justifying it or making excuses for it, and I’m not. Because there’s just no excuse for it,” Schwartz confirmed.
“Any sort of version of his side of the story has become obsolete because of the way he handled it,” he continued of Sandoval’s affair with Raquel. “Ultimately, that’s his life. That is his life. I did not have an affair. I am not him. It’s just so strange that I’ve been absolutely mired in this. It’s taken on almost a life of its own.”
But during an interview with TMZ days after Schwartz suggested he was “stepping away,” Sandoval denied that the two of them were no longer friends.
“He said he’s indefinitely over talking about ‘Scandoval,’ not Sandoval. ‘Scandoval,’” he explained.
In other Pump Rules news, Raquel has returned to social media as “Rachel.”
“Rachel is Rachel-ing on TIk-Tok. Wonder when she’ll make her grand rebrand on Instagram?!” the Glorified Gossip Girl asked on Instagram on July 17, giving a nod to the Pump Rules Fans page, who noticed the name change first.
“Rachel’s TikTok profile has been updated and she has been active on IG,” the Pump Rules Fans page stated.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
