On March 8, Raquel Leviss released a statement regarding her role in her affair with Tom Sandoval.
“I want to apologize for my actions and my choices to Ariana, my friends, and the fans so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and must own my actions. I deeply regret hurting Ariana,” Raquel wrote.
Ariana Madix and Tom had been in a relationship for about nine years when he and Raquel developed a secret affair.
In her statement, the SURver claimed that she was reflecting and “speaking to a counselor.”
“I am learning things about myself such as my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved,” she wrote. “I have sought emotional validation through intimate connections that are not healthy without regard for my own well-being, sometimes negatively affecting others and often prioritizing the intimate connection over my friendships.”
The reality star said she was taking steps to change before claiming that she had been threatened and assaulted due to this drama.
“Although I chose to be on a reality show accepting the good and bad that comes with it, beyond my own actions I have been physically assaulted, lost friendships, received death threats and hate emails in addition to having my privacy violated,” Raquel wrote.
In her conclusion, she said she is trying to “end my unhealthy behavioral cycle, learn to set stronger emotional boundaries, and learn to protect my mental health.”
She wrote, “Right now, I must focus on my own health and well-being and as I start to be a better person moving forward, I will prioritize my mental health and learn from my mistakes.”
Shortly after, Raquel released a statement about her relationship status with Tom.
“Besides the indefensible circumstances surrounding our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been sincere and born out of a loving friendship,” Raquel wrote in her second post.
The reality star took an absence from social media after releasing this statement. Now, the VPR star has made her return to Instagram, and many fans aren’t buying her intentions.
On March 21, beauty pageant queen, Bryiana Dyrdek, announced to her Instagram followers that she had been diagnosed with autism.
“After a few months of privately processing my autism diagnosis, I decided to come out about it because the little girl in the last slide deserved better,” Bryiana wrote. “I’ve finally reached the acceptance phase of my late diagnosis and am filled with more hope and peace than ever before. So if you see me acting different, it’s because I am.”
It was Raquel’s comment on the post that had people questioning the reality star’s words.
