Tom Sandoval’s Girlfriend Victoria Claims She’s Different from Rachel, But Both Seem Equally Attention-Seeking and Toxic

Rachel “Raquel” Leviss publicly wished fellow “Vanderpump Rules” alum Jax Taylor well as he enters a mental health facility, and it did not go over well with fans.

“I am deeply saddened to hear of Jax’s mental health struggles and I wholeheartedly support his decision to seek treatment,” Leviss, 29, wrote in a screen recording of her notes app, which she shared via Instagram Wednesday.

“I pray that his news is met with the open-mindedness that mine lacked, as I faced mockery and accusations of simply being in a spa,” she went on, referencing her three-month stint at a mental health treatment center last year after her affair with Tom Sandoval was exposed.

“I hope he finds the healing that I did through my own journey.”

The former Bravolebrity concluded her message by arguing that Taylor’s “situation highlights the urgent need for mental healthcare and accessible treatment for reality tv stars.”

She captioned the video, “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”

Almost instantly, Instagram users flooded the comments section to condemn Leviss for seemingly making Taylor’s struggles all about herself.

“How did you already manage to make this about yourself,” “And you made this about you,” Did…..did you manage to make this about you? ,” “Yeah, this isn’t about you anymore,” “I dare you to not make everything about you” and “Sounds like you’re making this about you” were among the many critical messages left beneath the upload.

“Maybe some more treatment is needed if you felt the need to run to Instagram and make someone else’s situation about yourself,” someone else remarked, while another netizen wondered, “How have you managed to make this about yourself? This reads so passive aggressively too. Did you learn anything at that retreat?”

Someone else felt similarly, echoing, “This seems like a backhanded support message. Shoulda just kept this in the notes.”

Others quipped that Leviss “just needed more attention guys.”

While a few people actually “love[d] the sentiment,” they pointed out that the ex-beauty pageant queen might “need a better PR team.”

A handful, however, defended her, as one supporter penned, “Why do you all go so hard on her. She is not making it about her. This girl spent a lot of time working on herself and why the comments to bring her down. Does it make you all feel better about yourself. How about be kind.”

Another fan commented, “Am I missing something or are all yall a bunch of C U Next Tuesdays. She’s relating because she has gone through something similar and yeah it’s her instagram of course it’s about her.”

Taylor’s rep told Page Six on Tuesday that he had “made the decision to seek inpatient treatment.”

“Jax has always been candid about his mental health struggles, especially during the past few months on his podcast,” the rep said, adding that “this is a particularly sensitive time for him and his family.”

The rep concluded, “They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak more on this matter.”

Early last month, Taylor, 45, revealed on his joint podcast with his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, that he had met an “absolutely amazing” female doctor at his new sports bar.

“And I went in there, and I literally just broke down,” he explained. “I’m like, ‘This is what’s wrong with me, and this is what I’m doing, and this is who l’m attacking. And I have serious, serious anger issues, and I have a child, and I don’t want him to see me act like that.’”

Cartwright, 35 — who shares 3-year-old son Cruz with Taylor — added that they were trying to “exhaust everything else” before divorcing.

Taylor continued, “We’re trying to live separately, we’re trying to possibly date other people, we’re trying to, you know, figure out what works for us.”

The pair — who both star on “Vanderpump Rules” spinoff series “The Valley” — announced their separation at the end of February after almost five years of marriage.

Taylor has since insisted that he is “definitely working on” himself in the hope of winning Cartwright back.

After news of his impatient treatment made headlines, the former model took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of him carrying and kissing Cruz.

“Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much,” he wrote atop the imag
