It sounds like Rachel Leviss had to say goodbye to quite a few followers on Instagram. Losing followers can be tough, but it’s also an opportunity to focus on engaging with those who remain.
“Welp, I’ve lost 8K followers since posting all my festival photos and videos… oh well,” Leviss, 29, wrote via Instagram on Friday, May 31, alongside a photo of her at 2024’s Lightning in a Bottle Festival in Buena Vista Lake, California.
“Thank you to the real ones that have been supporting me and want to see me thrive! ily.”
Rachel Leviss recently attended the Stagecoach Festival and faced accusations from fans of copying an outfit worn by Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules. This sparked discussions among followers about Leviss’s fashion choices.
“Yeah, I did see that,” Leviss said on the May 1 episode of her “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast. “Apparently, we have the same shirt. I bought that shirt at Urban Outfitters. It just matched my jeans perfectly.”
She added,
“So, people are like, ‘Oh, she stole that shirt from Ariana,’ which is not the case. I purchased it, and I didn’t even remember seeing her wearing that on the show. To clarify, it’s my shirt, not hers. Ariana has her own orange shirt that’s exactly the same.”
Rachel Leviss’s relationship with her former Vanderpump Rules costars soured after news of her affair with Tom Sandoval emerged in late 2022.
Following the confirmation of Sandoval’s split from Ariana Madix in March 2023, tensions escalated during the season 10 reunion where Leviss and Sandoval faced scrutiny from their castmates.
Leviss subsequently cut off contact with Sandoval, sought treatment at a mental health facility in April 2023, and decided not to return for the show’s 11th season.
“I’m not dating for a year, and in doing that, I’m just focusing on myself and after this talk, focusing on my emotions that come up for me,” Leviss said during a January episode of her podcast.
“Like, what are my own needs that I need met? And not adding an additional person into the equation. So that it is just focused on me and other people as well my friends and family and the people that are in my inner circle that are safe friends.”
Despite Rachel Leviss’s declaration to stay single in 2024, she was linked to businessman Matthew Dunn in April.
Leviss’s publicist, Juliette Harris, stated that it was too soon to label their relationship, emphasizing that they had only met a little over a month ago and are currently “friends just getting to know each other.”
