Putting herself first. Raquel Leviss opened up about being proud of her personal progress amid a public feud with Vanderpump Rules costar Katie Maloney.“Here’s two versions of me … little Miss Femme Raquel that you’re probably familiar with, but more recently I’ve been trying not to take myself as seriously,” the former beauty pageant contestant, 28, captioned an Instagram video on Tuesday, November 1.In the social media upload, Leviss danced in a pink dress on Halloween with her costar Tom Sandoval.

The TomTom co-owner, 39, was channeling the California native in a hoodie promoting his restaurant, which Leviss wore during BravoCon last month.“I’ve found my voice and I’m not afraid to lean into this new found ‘baddie’ Raquel,” the model continued in her lengthy post. “It’s easy for me to laugh at myself because I am so proud of how far I’ve come in my personal growth journey.”She concluded: “I used to care so much what other people thought of me and now I just DGAF.

Imma keep doing me and I’m so grateful for the people who inspire me to do exactly that.”Leviss’ insight on her life comes after Maloney, 35, called her a “fan girl” for wearing the TomTom hoodie to the New York event. “Started as a fan of the show and now a fan of the tom’s,” the Utah native wrote in the comments section of a Bravo fan page late last month.In response, Leviss addressed her decision to show support for Sandoval and Tom Schwartz.“Just came here to say that the number one reason I wore this TomTom sweatshirt on Day 3 of BravoCon was for the comfy vibes,” she captioned an Instagram reel on Tuesday. “I also wore it to support BOTH of the Toms and encouraged people to stop by their booth to check out the rest of the cute merch.
