Raquel Leviss made a not-so-subtle change to her social media presence in the wake of her affair with Tom Sandoval.
Eagle-eyed TikTok users noticed on Monday, July 17, that Raquel, 28, updated both her display name and handle on the platform to “Rachel Leviss” following rumors that she would be reverting to her given name. Her Instagram account, meanwhile, appears to be unchanged.

Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz and more cast members declared their loyalty to either Ariana, 38, or Sandoval — and ruthlessly went after Raquel — in the aftermath of the affair.
Raquel, for her part, attempted to defend herself and her relationship with Sandoval in front of her costars during the reunion. “A lot of people make mistakes,” she asserted. “You can say that about anybody in this room.”
In a heated on-camera exchange, Lala, 32, and Raquel debated the merit of their respective nicknames, with Lala asserting that abbreviating her name from “Lauren” is different than Raquel — born Rachel — using a new name entirely. Lala went on to tell her costar she should be “mentally evaluated.” (Raquel
