As the scandal involving her affair with Tom Sandoval continues to unfold, Raquel Leviss has checked into a mental health facility. Leviss and her family had decided months before the affair came to light that she needed mental health treatment, and she ultimately chose to enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling.

A representative for the "Vanderpump Rules" star told Page Six that Leviss had initially planned to begin treatment before the reunion show but decided to complete her filming obligations first. The rep also confirmed that Bravo and the show's production team were aware of her decision and supported her efforts to improve her mental health.

Leviss' representative clarified that the 28-year-old reality star is not in rehab but is undergoing "mental health and trauma therapy." An exclusive source revealed that Leviss has been in the program for some time, describing it as a "long-haul" rather than a short-term endeavor.

Tom Sandoval, 40, was involved in a nine-year relationship with co-star Ariana Madix when news of his affair with Leviss broke in early March. In the aftermath of the revelations, Leviss issued a public apology and stated that she was consulting with a counselor.

Her apology included a reflection on her past choices, during which she mentioned her struggles with codependency and an addiction to feeling loved. She admitted to seeking emotional validation through unhealthy intimate connections, sometimes at the expense of her own well-being and friendships.

Leviss' statement concluded by expressing her commitment to ending her "unhealthy behavioral cycle" and learning to prioritize her mental health. She acknowledged that she did not expect sympathy, understanding, or forgiveness, but needed to concentrate on her personal growth and well-being.

Since appearing at the explosive "Pump Rules" reunion taping, Leviss has maintained a low profile and remained silent on the matter. In contrast, Sandoval recently gave a tell-all interview to Howie Mandel, during which he shared that he and Leviss have put their sexual relationship on hold.
