Tom Sandoval shot down speculation that Raquel Leviss lied about entering a mental health facility earlier this month.
The 40-year-old, who recently went to a wellness retreat himself, slammed “Vanderpump Rules” co-stars Peter Madrigal and Dayna Kathan for claiming Leviss was actually at a “spa.”
“Raquel is in a mental facility,” a visibly angry Sandoval told TMZ paps on Tuesday. “Whether she decides to tell you where that is after the fact … that’s where Raquel is. No visitors, no friends, no family, no phone, no nothing.”
He then called Peter Madrigal and Dayna Kathan out by name, saying they “have absolutely no idea what’s going on.”

Despite claiming he didn’t have any contact with Levies, Sandoval noted that the former beauty pageant queen is “doing great.”
The heated discussion took place after paparazzi asked him if he had seen Leviss while at a wellness retreat in Arizona, where he spent quality time with nature amid backlash over his months-long affair with her.
While Sandoval didn’t reveal where he was staying, it definitely wasn’t at the luxe wellness resort Miraval Arizona, which he previously slammed for ousting his stay for publicity.

Meanwhile, Leviss has been off the grid while getting help at an unnamed facility somewhere in the Grand Canyon State.
“Raquel and her family decided months before the relationship was discovered that she needed mental health treatment and ultimately decided she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling,” Leviss’ rep told Page Six earlier this month.
Yet soon after, Madrigal, 38, responded to news of her retreat on Instagram, commenting “Not a mental facility! It’s a Spa Resort.”

Similarly, Kathan commented, “She’s at a spa,” under a separate post about Leviss’ decision.
The pair’s affair — dubbed Scandoval — was exposed on March 3 after his then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, found inappropriate messages and videos from Leviss on her now-ex’s phone.

The controversial couple’s dalliance began in July 2022, nearly eight months before it became public.
The fallout from the affair was captured for the ongoing season of “VPR,” with tensions reportedly boiling over at the upcoming Season 10 reunion.
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
