Tom Sandoval at the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 11 Premiere ; Rachel Leviss arrives at the KIIS FM’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2023.
Tom Sandoval still has Rachel “Raquel” Leviss on his mind.
On Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules, the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner, 41, admitted that he was “worried” about his former flame as she continued to receive treatment at The Meadows, a mental health facility in Arizona that she entered at the height of the Scandoval to address her trauma and love addiction.
When asked by Lisa Vanderpump if they had spoken recently, Sandoval, 40, responded, “No. I want to just have some sort of relationship with her, whether it’s a friendship, whether it’s…”
She then interrupted him and said, “I wasn’t going to tell you but I spoke to her at length.”
“I don’t know some of the things she said, she just didn’t seem very happy with you,” she added.
Sandoval revealed that his last conversation with Rachel, 29, had not gone well, explaining, “The last time that I talked to Rachel she had stated that when people get done with this program they will stay there and I told her I was like this is something you’re going to have to face eventually. And the longer you stay there, the harder it’s going to be.”
He continued: “And she got mad at me, of course, because it became this thing where if I didn’t 100% agree with everything they said to her, I was, you know, bad for her or something.”
Lisa, 63, then further detailed Rachel’s concerns about staying in touch with Sandoval, saying the former SUR server told her she wasn’t “comfortable lying to everybody” while Sandoval had allegedly told her “life is lying,” which he promptly denied.
“I’ve been worried f—ing sick about her,” he responded. “I just want to give her a f—ing hug and know that she’s okay.”
After his admission, Lisa encouraged him to talk directly to Rachel but he revealed that she had blocked him. Lisa then realized it was then time for Sandoval to face the music, saying, “Well, then it’s over. Gotta go forward now, Tom. I think it’s the past. I really do.”
Lisa added in a confessional, “She said that she felt manipulated by him and she actually told me that she didn’t love him anymore.”
Sandoval recounted at a guys’ night what Lisa told him about her conversation with Rachel, saying, “I guess she’s not happy with me for some reason, like I haven’t heard from her in probably over a month. A single word. It sucked. I’m sitting here looking at my phone every f—ing night. She doesn’t call, I’m like alone. I can’t f—ing do this anymore.”
Schwartz then encouraged him to start dating and Sandoval admitted in a confessional, “It’s been 15 years since I was single dating around. Been a long time. But what can I do?”
“She’s obviously made a decision. She’s not coming back,” he added. “Couldn’t even send me an email for closure. I don’t want to find another relationship. I think I just want female energy in my life.”
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
