Vanderpump Rules is full steam ahead with one major star missing: Raquel Leviss.ET has learned the 28-year-old reality TV star hasn’t signed on for the new season and her team is still negotiating her contract with production.

The news comes after it was revealed earlier this year that Tom Sandoval was cheating on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with Leviss, which played out last season. «Raquel’s mental health is the most important thing to her and her family,» says the source. «She spent a lot of time working on her mental health at the facility and knows going back to the show and filming will be very stressful.»In April, ET exclusively reported that Leviss checked into a mental health treatment facility.

At the time, Leviss' rep told ET, «Raquel and her family decided before the relationship was discovered that she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling.»Her rep added that Leviss had planned to admit herself before the Vanderpump Rules reunion was taped on March 23. «She was scheduled to go in pre-reunion but decided she wanted to finish her filming commitment,» said the rep. «Bravo and production were aware and in support of her journey towards better mental health.»TMZ was the first to report that Leviss still hasn’t signed her contract.

Leviss hasn’t been seen since April and was noticeably absent on Tuesday while Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay and the rest of the Vanderpump Rules cast filmed at Lisa Vanderpump's Sur Lounge.
