Rachel Leviss revealed she’s ending her podcast as she wishes to “move on” from Vanderpump Rules. The star also shared that she’s in a “new relationship.”

Though she left the Bravo show after her affair with Tom Sandoval, Rachel began the podcast to tell her side of the story. She also dished on Pump Rules news, interviewed guests on mental health, and discussed tools for facing life challenges.

“I have decided to walk away from continuing the podcast,” said Rachel on her Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, via @breakingtherulespodclips on Instagram. “Because I would like to move on from, you know, having one foot in the door of Vanderpump Rules and one foot out, and choosing a life that is fully aligned in my values and who I want to show up as every single day.”

“So I’ll be focusing on myself, my healing, and a new relationship that I’m in,” she revealed. “I’ve made the decision to take both feet out of the Vanderpump Rules universe, and focus on myself, focus on my life, my healing.”

Rachel then reflected on journey with the podcast.

“I’ve had so many incredible guests join me throughout this podcasting experience,” she said. She then addressed her listeners. “I’ve been able to take away some amazing insight and tools to help not only myself navigate the challenges in my life, but also share those things with you guys, and hopefully help you guys in your own life.”

In a 2023 interview for Just B with Bethenny Frankel, Rachel first revealed her plans for the podcast.

“I really am impassioned by learning about myself and the psychology behind all of this and I am taking the steps to start my own podcast,” said the star at the time. “I feel like it would be a great way to share my side of the story and bring on experts that really understand the psychology behind it. And I feel like this is an area that’s untapped because nobody really wants to talk about being the other woman as for as many people that are hurt by this affair, there’s equally as many people that have been that [other person].”

Vanderpump Rules is currently on hiatus. Rachel left the show after its controversial 10th season.
