Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss has seemingly learned to take herself a little less seriously in recent months. And amid all the ongoing drama and tensions with her Pump Rules co-star Katie Maloney, Raquel has realized she’d rather just continue to be herself.
As previously reported by Monsters and Critics, Raquel and Katie drifted apart after rumors surfaced claiming Raquel had hooked up with Katie’s ex-husband Tom Schwartz while the two were members of the wedding party for Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding back in August.
Since the hookup, Katie and Raquel have admitted to “distancing” themselves. Katie recently took a hard-hitting jab at her co-star, calling her a “fan girl” for supporting Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval’s TomTom restaurant by wearing their merch during BravoCon 2022.
However, that hasn’t stopped Raquel from having fun and seeking personal growth for herself.
Her split from James Kennedy heavily inspired her desire for growth. The former couple was engaged and had been together for five years before their December 2021 split.
Since then, Raquel has maintained that she’s not keen to jump back into dating and is taking things slowly to re-discover herself.
In a recent post to social media, Raquel solidified that desire and shared that she’s less self-conscious these days and is proud of how far she’s come.
