LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rachel Leviss is still upset with her behavior when it comes to Ariana Madix.

The reality star who had already apologized to her co-contestant feels she can do better.



 

Rachel Leviss explains why she still wants to apologize Ariana Madix

While presenting her podcast 'Rachel Goes Rogue', the star said, “It was hard to see because I'm in a different place than I was back then,” she said after she viewed the premiere of 'Vanderpump Rules.'

“I got emotional watching that. I recognized that my behavior was so hurtful to her," she said.

The 29-year-old added, “I feel like, with my apology that I made at the reunion, I had all the right intentions and I was extremely sorry, but there's another part of an apology, which is your actions afterward — they have to align with what you're saying.”

She continued over her podcast episode, “And by sending him letters and being in contact for a good amount of time, I still want to take this time now to apologize again because I am in a different place than I was back then, and I can see things a lot clearer now.”



 

Rachel Leviss says she is investing on her mental health

The scandal broke last March when her affair with Tom came to light. The latter was then dating her longtime girlfriend and co-star Ariana.

Rachel, who came back from rehab and joined the Season 10 reunion of 'VPR', shocked fans after quitting the show, as per Daily Mail.

She explained her decision on her podcast, “I am watching this show and I'm really having to accept the fact that I'm not on it this season, and that was a decision that I really had a lot of weight in making.”

The star added, “I didn't take that lightly, and so it's almost like a part of me grieving what could have been in a different parallel timeline. But I do think of that I made the right decision by not going back.”

“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, like what are my own needs that I need met, and not adding an additional person into the equation,” Rachel shared over her podcast.
