Rachel Lewis took to her Instagram page on Monday to share a new statement about her relationship with him Tom Sandoval.
After a lengthy public apology to Sandoval’s girlfriend, Ariana Madixand loved ones hours before, the Vanderpump Rules star explained where he stands now, admitting that he doesn’t want to label anything while he learns to accept himself without a partner, his feelings for Sandoval are “sincere”.
“In addition to the untenable circumstances of our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been sincere and born of a loving friendship,” explained Raquel on March 9. advisable. I need to take care of my health, work on self-growth and take time to be comfortable with myself.
“I care about Tom and I don’t want to label anything or predict what he will do. Now I have to heal,” he added in the post, which was immediately “liked” by Sandoval.
In addition to apologizing to Ariana on Instagram, Raquel reportedly contacted her personally.
“Before apologizing to Ariana, Raquel tried to contact Ariana personally. Raquel was the first to reach out on Friday, March 3 following the news of the relationship,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight on March 8.
“Ariana responded to Raquel but wasn’t ready to apologize,” the source said. “Raquel also tried to apologize on Wednesday before releasing the statement, but she didn’t hear from Ariana.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Raquel admitted that there was “no excuse” for her actions and said she had to take action.
“I deeply regret hurting Ariana,” he stated, in part. “I thought about my choices, spoke to a counselor and I learned about myself such as patterns of dependence and addiction to be and feel loved. I have been looking for emotional validation through unhealthy intimate connections without regard for myself as well-which, sometimes affects others and often prioritizing intimate connections over friends.I take steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices.
While Raquel may have genuine feelings for Sandoval, he has reportedly been harassing her in recent times.
On March 8, when Raquel made her first post-Scandoval appearance in suburban Los Angeles on Wednesday, an insider told Page Six that Raquel had been “ignoring” Sandoval’s text messages and phone calls.
“Tom couldn’t track Raquel for days,” the insider said. “He’s been asking his friends if they’ve heard from him, but no luck. He can’t get in touch with him.
