Vanderpump Rules Spoilers – Raquel Changes Her Name!

Last season on Vanderpump Rules, the bombshell known as “Scandoval” fascinated viewers. But while ratings soared for episodes about Tom Sandoval cheating on Ariana Madix, Tom sparked a backlash for himself and the woman he chose for that secret dalliance: Raquel Leviss. As a result of the trauma, Leviss entered a mental health facility after the reunion filmed. But two months later, she’s left the facility amid a name change, according to People.

And the 28-year-old Vanderpump Rules star chose to return to her birth name of Rachel. But beyond emerging with a new name, Rachel’s visit to The Meadows in Wickenberg, Arizona, helped her through its blend of “trauma therapy” and mental health treatments. Sources described Leviss as a new woman after the $200,000 treatment.

But a rep claimed that even before Scandoval, Leviss planned to enter a “voluntary facility for mental health counseling.” And at first, Rachel wanted to go in before the reunion. But then she decided to finish up her commitment to filming Vanderpump Rules. And Bravo supported “her journey towards better mental health,” added the rep.
