Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss , who was last seen on the hit reality show in a season 10 reunion special, is not in the mood to reunite with the other cast members soon. The filming of season 11 is underway and Leviss was known to negotiate a lucrative deal with the producers but it looks like she is happy spending time in Arizona. The former beauty queen was spotted running errands and at a Massage Envy in Tucson on Tuesday afternoon. Leviss is prioritizing her mental health over filming the current season, she is enjoying hiking and her new ‘zen mode’ as she heals after checking out of a mental health facility following the cheating scandal with co-star Tom Sandoval. A close source told ET, “Rachel has been spending time with her family in Arizona since leaving the mental health facility. Rachel has been receiving letters from people opening up about their own mental health journey and applauding her for taking time away from filming to focus on her mental health. Rachel is in a really good place and has been enjoying a slower pace of life. She’s been doing Pilates and often goes hiking.”

As per TMZ, Rachel’s cast mates are feeling that she won’t be filming season 11 with them due to her growing absence on the sets. Following the brutally explosive season 10 reunion, during which the former beauty queen was subjected to humiliation for being Tom Sandoval’s secret lover, she then quietly checked herself into a mental health facility in Arizona, close to her family. Leviss stayed at the treatment center for almost three months and checked out after paying a whopping $200,000 bill. While the entire cast was on a trip to Lake Tahoe in mid-July, Leviss was spotted running errands in Tucson wearing a baseball cap that showcased the quote, “Be a good person.”
