Tom Sandoval FLIPS OUT After Miraval Resorts Exposed His Spa Getaway With Raquel
Tom Sandoval didn’t mince his words when he criticized Miraval Resorts for suggesting that he stayed at their Arizona property while his partner, Raquel Leviss, was undergoing treatment for her mental health.
On April 17, the Vanderpump Rules star wrote on his Instagram Story that he had planned a solo trip to the resort to work on himself and find peace, but it was not the right place for him.
“I’m beyond disappointed in @MiravalResorts @MiravalArizona and their decision to post to their Instagram account this past weekend alluding to me staying there this week,” the Vanderpump Rules star, 40, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, April 17. “They claim to be a refuge for wellness and betterment. But that is obviously false. They’d rather feed into the negativity and spectacle that has engulfed my life.”
Earlier this week, the Arizona branch of Miraval Resorts shared a photo on their social media page, which has since been removed, featuring an empty bar and the caption “You know that it’s our time, these are the best days of our life. 🍸,” which are lyrics from the theme song of the Bravo show.
“In a continuous effort to be healthy and work on myself, I planned a trip to go there completely alone to try to find some peace. Miraval clearly isn’t the place for that,” Sandoval continued. “Special shout-out to the general manager who refuses to take any responsibility for the actions of his team even though he considered the post ‘in poor taste.’ Regardless of where you stand in all this, we all deserve the chance to work to be better.”
Tom Sandoval has faced criticism recently for the consequences of his affair with his girlfriend Raquel Leviss, who is 28 years old. This led to the breakup between him and his long-time partner Ariana Madix. The couple ended their nine-year relationship after the actress, 37, discovered her ex’s infidelity.
When news of the scandal, dubbed “Scandoval” by fans of Pump Rules, surfaced, the couple’s co-stars gathered around Madix to offer their support during the breakup. The duo faced intense scrutiny while filming the reunion special for season 10 last month.
In March, when news of the scandal first emerged, Raquel alluded to facing difficulties with her mental health in her apology to Madix. The native of California disclosed that she had sought the help of a counselor as she reflected on her challenges with seeking “emotional validation” through her romantic relationships.
On April 14, Raquel entered a facility to receive treatment for her mental health as she continues to deal with the repercussions of her relationship with Tom Sandoval and the frontman of Most Extras.
“Raquel and her family decided before the relationship was discovered that she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling,” a statement from Leviss’ rep read at the time. “Raquel had planned to admit herself before the VPR reunion was taped on March 23. She was scheduled to go in pre-reunion but decided she wanted to finish her filming commitment. Bravo and production were aware and in support of her journey towards better mental health.”
After news broke of Raquel’s choice to undergo treatment, former Pump Rules cast members Peter Madrigal and Dayna Kathan claimed that the former beauty queen was staying at a “spa” rather than a mental health facility.
“Not a mental facility! It’s a Spa Resort,” Madrigal, 38, wrote in an Instagram comment on Pump Rules fan account @realvanderpump’s post about Leviss’ treatment on Saturday, April 15. Kathan, for her part, commented, “She’s at a spa,” on @glorifiedgossipgirl’s account that same day.
On Saturday, an exclusive source informed Us Weekly that Raquel, “is absolutely not at a ‘spa,’ Miraval Resort, or otherwise.”
The insider added, “People looking to jump on the bandwagon for relevance and spreading misinformation and rumors should not only consider Raquel’s circumstances but also consider all of the people struggling with their mental health who are watching how people are reacting to this situation. It will only make it harder for them to seek help.”
