“2023 hands down has been the hardest year yet. My life had become completely unmanageable and I was so far down the rabbit hole of making bad decisions that I NEEDED help. I’m so blessed I was able to get the help I needed,” Rachel wrote on Instagram, seemingly referencing her stay at a mental health facility after it was revealed that she had been having an affair with former friend Ariana Madix‘s then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval.
“Now, I finally feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. As we set intentions into the new year, I vow to be a better friend to the ones close in my life,” Rachel continued. “To those that have stood by me through my darkest days, I will always remember and cherish you. Eternally grateful for a second chance. Here’s to an epic 2024! 🦋”
In a preview for her new podcast, Rachel explained why Ariana influenced her decision to not return for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
