In a surprising move, Raquel Leviss, former star of “Vanderpump Rules,” recently announced that she will be auctioning off two significant items from her past. These items hold a special place in Leviss’ heart, as they are linked to her affair with Tom Sandoval. In an emotional Instagram Story video, Leviss expressed her desire to let go of the things that no longer serve her, both physically and emotionally. The items in question are her lightning bolt necklace and TomTom sweatshirt.
The 14K gold lightning bolt necklace, purchased for $765, was a symbolic token of Leviss’ devotion to Sandoval during their affair. But now, she no longer wants to see it or have it in her possession. This necklace represents a chapter of her life that she is ready to leave behind. In the eBay listing, Leviss eloquently described her decision to part with this item and stated that the power Sandoval once held over her has faded. The bidding for the necklace has already surpassed $1,000 and is steadily rising.
Bidding Farewell to Controversy
Included in the auction is also the infamous three-tone topaz on black TomTom hoodie that Leviss boldly wore to BravoCon last year. This sweatshirt gained attention after Leviss’ affair with Sandoval was exposed to the public. It is now receiving offers of nearly $3,000, proving its significance to fans of the show. Leviss even revealed in the listing that she gifted the same style hoodie to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” just hours before her and Sandoval’s affair was revealed. The auction also features a black hoodie adorned with black rhinestones, which Leviss agrees to sign upon request.
To coincide with World Mental Health Day, Leviss is turning this auction into a fundraiser for the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), an organization dedicated to promoting better mental health. Leviss believes that by letting go of these triggering items and changing her environment, she is creating a better mindset for herself and setting herself up for success. All the proceeds from the auction will go towards this noble cause.
A Fresh Start
In her eBay listings, Leviss candidly admitted that she can’t rewrite history, but she can use these items from her darkest days towards a good cause. By parting with them, she is symbolically closing the chapter on her affair with Sandoval and embracing a new beginning. The fact that these items are generating such high bids shows that fans are invested in Leviss’ journey and support her decision to let go.
The auction will continue until next Tuesday, October 17th. As the bidding prices rise, it is clear that Leviss’ decision to sell these memorable items has struck a chord with fans. By auctioning off these pieces of her past, Leviss is not only raising money for a worthy cause but also reminding us all of the importance of growth, self-reflection, and moving forward.
