PEOPLE has reached out to representatives forVanderpump Rulesand Leviss.
Not long after, Levisschecked herself into a facility for “mental health and trauma therapy"in April.
“Raquel and her family decided before the relationship was discovered that she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling,” her rep told PEOPLE at the time. “She was scheduled to go in pre-reunionbut decided she wanted to finish her filming commitment. Bravo and production were aware and in support of her journey towards better mental health.”

The day was complicated due to arestraining orderLeviss had filed against costarScheana Shaythatrequired the pair to keep at least 100 yards' distancefrom one another. (The restraining order was laterdismissedjust days after the filming.)
Afterwatching the first half of the taping from a trailer outside the studio, Leviss joined the reunion partway through — but only after Sandoval warned her:“Ariana’s gonna unleash on you.”

Weeks before, in the wake of the news of Sandoval and Madix’s split, a source told PEOPLE the pair “had been having problems for a while” but his affair with Leviss was “the final straw.”
“She put up with a lot over the years, but she won’t sit back and be disrespected this way,” the insider added.
Both Leviss and Sandoval have sinceapologizedfor their infidelity.
Levissexclusively issued a statement to PEOPLEon March 8 that included an apology and a promise to focus on her well-being moving forward.
“I need to take care of my health, work on self growth and take time to be ok with being alone,” she said. “I care for Tom and I don’t want to label anything or predict what lies ahead. Right now I need to heal.”
Later addressing her misconduct on Frankel’s podcast, Leviss said: “I would not be involved in this affair secrecy type of situationif I thought there was longevity in this relationshipbetween Tom and Ariana.” The series alum also claimedshe was “remorseful” for having “hurt” Madix.
