Former Vanderpump Rules star, Rachel Leviss, reminded her podcast audience that she went to a mental health facility, not a spa, as The Valley‘s Jax Taylor alleged.
“I was met with a lot of judgment and scrutiny” for getting treatment, began the ex-Bravo TV personality. Rachel explained that another guest at The Meadows Treatment Center leaked she was at that specific facility. She claimed Jax and the media “twisted” her whereabouts. According to Rachel, the press (and Jax) said she was at a “spa” when she said she was at a “mental health facility.”
Jax accused Rachel of being at a “spa” not a treatment center:
“The irony of all that is Jax [said] he knows for a fact that I was at a spa. So, I just want to bring that context into this space. Understand, this is something SO IMPORTANT to talk about.”
Tom Sandoval’s former paramour explained she’s not judging Jax. In fact, she can “empathize with him” for “judging [her] for getting treatment. He probably was suppressing something within him.” Rachel reasoned Jax has likely been “grappling with [getting help] for some time.”
“Suppressing that and projecting that onto me saying, ‘There’s no friggin’ way she’s checking herself into a mental health facility. Who the heck would do that? I sure as hell wouldn’t.’ At that time,” he wouldn’t because he hadn’t yet,” concluded the former beauty pageant contestant.

This isn’t the first time Raquel/Rachel/Rocky made Jax’s situation about her:
The Scandoval side piece typed, “I am deeply saddened to hear of Jax’s mental health struggles and I wholeheartedly support his decision to seek treatment.” She could have stopped typing… but she didn’t.
“I pray that his news is met with the open-mindedness that mine lacked. I faced mockery and accusations of simply being in a spa.” Continuing to insert herself into the conversation, Rachel added, “I hope he finds the healing that I did through my own journey. This situation highlights the urgent need for mental healthcare and accessible treatment for reality tv stars.”
Rachel’s finishing touch on this open letter to the ‘Number 1 guy in the group’ was a pair of star emojis “✨💫” and the caption, “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”
