Since sharing her 2024 festival content on Instagram, Rachel Leviss has lost an incredible 8,000 followers.
The former cast member of Vanderpump Rules, who was implicated in the ‘Scandoval’ cheating scandal that averted the reality show’s cancelation, seemed to be handling it well.
In March 2023, word leaked out about Leviss, 29, having an affair with another cast member Tom Sandoval, 41, behind his fiancée Arianna Madix’s back.
The announcement caused the series and Bravo to find great success in the ratings department with the program about the employees of the restaurant owned by the show’s namesake, Lisa Vanderpump.
The former beauty queen wrote on Instagram, “Well, I’ve lost 8K followers since posting all my festival photos and videos… oh well.”
‘Thank you to the real ones that have been supporting me and want to see me thrive! ily,’ she said. Posting one of those festival pictures, she added, ‘Here’s a pic of me and that dandelion I love.’
Commenters were quick to share their own theories as to why the Rachel Goes Rogue podcast host was less popular than before.
‘I don’t think it’s the festival content, I think it’s your inability to take responsibility & continue being a mean girl/talking about VPR when you said you wouldn’t,’ suggested one.
‘I don’t feel sorry for you and the least. You showed the kind of person that you are. With friends like you…’ stated another.
Luckily for Leviss, some were still on her side.
‘Their loss. God forbid you live a life that includes fun. Sick to think that they’d rather see you suffering in a melancholy – depressed state. To boot, they’d rip you apart for that too. You can’t win hun….live your life,’ advised a fan.
‘Ignore the haters. You don’t need to be punished forever.’ wrote another follower.
‘You took accountability. You took the steps to make things better. You are allowed to be happy and share your truths for as long as you want. And you can change your name whenever and to whatever YOU want. This is your life. Celebrate moving in and healing. ❤️’

Some fans blamed Leviss’ loss of popularity for her ‘inability to take responsibility,’ for her role in the affair she had with Tom Sandoval, 41, while being ‘best friends’ with his now ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix, 38
Many of Leviss’ fans rallied to her side. ‘God forbid you live a life that includes fun. Sick to think that they’d rather see you suffering in a melancholy – depressed state,’ wrote one fan. ‘You are allowed to be happy and share your truths for as long as you want,’ said another
Leviss has sued Sandoval under California’s Revenge Porn law for recording intimate FaceTime interactions and saving them.
Madix discovered one of the videos on Sandoval’s phone, which lead to the revelation of the affair.
She is also suing Madix for allegedly obtaining two of the videos and distributing them or showing them to others without Leviss’ consent.
On May 24, a judge in Los Angeles ruled Leviss had enough evidence to move forward with the lawsuit.
