Tom Sandoval sent a public birthday message to his “friend” Raquel Leviss six months after their scandalous love affair — dubbed Scandoval — resulted in a media storm.
“Happy Birthday Rachel, I really hope ur finding peace and happiness. Miss u friend,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star wrote in an Instagram comment to his former co-star Tuesday, referring to her by her birth name, which she recently adopted as her preferred moniker.
It does not appear that Leviss, who turned 29 Tuesday, has responded to the well-wish yet.
Her rep did not immediately return Pvnew’s request for comment.
However, many other people did voice their opinions on Sandoval’s remark in the comments section.
“R U OK. Hope you’re finding peace? LOL you’re a big proponent on why the girls doesn’t have peace. This coulda been a text or dm my dude,” one person wrote.
Another added, “You’re so manipulative! Go away.”
Sandoval cheated on his former longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix for months with Leviss before the affair was exposed in March.
The Something about Her sandwich shop owner learned about the infidelity when she discovered a sexually explicit video of the former pageant contestant on her now-ex’s phone.
The fallout of Scandoval was featured on Season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules,” which caused Leviss to seek treatment at a mental health facility due to the backlash she faced.
She subsequently refused to return to the reality show to film Season 11, which began production in early July.
Meanwhile, Sandoval, 41, has been spotted shooting several scenes with his co-stars, including most recently a cast trip with Madix, 38, and her new beau, Daniel Wai.
The Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman has not been romantically involved with Leviss since May.
“Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her,” an insider previously told Pvnew.
Sandoval appears to have moved on with a new gal pal named Tii. However, he claimed in August that the two were “just friends.”
