Ex-Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/strong><\/a> cast member Rachel Leviss<\/strong><\/a> is back in the business with her freshly released iHeartPodcast, Rachel Goes Rogue<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n Formerly Raquel Leviss, she was a major character in Seasons 5-10 of the Bravo show Vanderpump Rules<\/em>, a spin-off from \u201cThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.\u201d This show delves into the lives of the staff of restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump.<\/p>\n For her ultimate season on the show, Leviss found herself in the middle of a well-publicized, highly charged sexual affair with castmate Tom Sandoval<\/a><\/strong>. The two had been involved in a clandestine relationship while the tenth season was filmed, unbeknownst to Sandoval\u2019s nine-year partner, Ariana Madix<\/a><\/strong>. The affair was exposed when Madix read through the contents of Sandoval\u2019s phone and came across an intimate video of him and Leviss.<\/p>\n Madix contacted the production team to advise them of the situation, and shortly after, TMZ revealed the story, which caused a surge in viewership for Vanderpump Rules<\/em> and Bravo. Subsequently, the show was nominated for two Emmys. Leviss, however, indicated that the aftermath of the situation, particularly the overwhelming public criticism, caused her to leave the show<\/a>, though she attempted to return for Season 11. In April, Leviss entered a mental health treatment center in Arizona.<\/p>\n
