Raquel Leviss BLOCKS Tom Sandoval After Comment on Her Birthday Post _ E! News

Transcript

00:00 Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval says that he misses his friend Raquel Levis.

00:07 Six months after the affair between Rachel "Raquel" Levis and Tom Sandoval shook

00:11 up the Vanderpump Rules universe and ended his nearly decade-long relationship with Ariana

00:17 Madix, the TomTom co-owner is showing the former beauty queen some birthday love.

00:24 Raquel shares this video montage to Instagram on September 10th of her at a farm, writing

00:30 quote "I've been dreaming of a place like this" adding the hashtags #flowerfarm,

00:36 #flowerarranging.

00:39 Just two days later on her 29th birthday, Tom sends best wishes her way in the comments,

00:45 writing quote "Happy birthday Rachel.

00:48 I really hope you're finding peace and happiness.

00:52 Miss you friend."

00:54 Though Raquel did not respond directly on Tom's comment, two days later she took action

00:59 by blocking her former castmate.

01:03 She shares this screenshot of Tom's blocked Instagram account to her story on September

01:08 12th, in which she added an X graphic over Tom's profile picture, as well as an animation

01:14 that says "OK BYE".

01:17 The surprising interaction comes as Raquel has kept her distance from the rest of the

01:22 Vanderpump Rules cast, including Tom, in the months since season 10 wrapped at the end

01:27 of March.

01:29 Shortly after filming the explosive three-part reunion, which featured Raquel meeting Ariana

01:34 face to face for the first time since news of the affair broke, she checked herself into

01:40 a mental health facility in Arizona.

01:43 Following her departure from the facility after two months, Raquel has made it clear

01:48 that her days on the Bravo series were behind her.

01:51 In fact, don't expect to see her back on reality TV at all.

01:56 During the August 18th episode of the Just Be podcast with Bethany Frankel, in response

02:02 to whether she might ever return to reality TV, Raquel says, "Oh, hell no.

02:09 No because I refuse to not respect myself on that level where I would endure that emotional

02:15 abuse any longer.

02:17 I can't do that to myself."
