Rachel "Raquel" Leviss is turning lemons into lemonade.
The Vanderpump Rules star recently revealed she was auctioning off her TomTom restaurant hoodies and lightning bold necklace for charity in honor of World Mental Health Day. So, exactly how much did the former beauty queen raise with her Tom Sandoval affair items?
According to eBay, the gold necklace fetched $5,300 and the two sweatshirts sold for an impressive $9,500 for a total of $14,800.
Weeks ago, the 29-year-old announced that, in an effort to move on from the cheating scandal, she was raising money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
"I am currently in the process of letting go of things that no longer serve me," Leviss shared with fans on her Instagram Stories. "As I was cleaning out my closet, I have found a few items that are a little bit triggering and I just don't want to see them. I don't want to have them in my possession. I will never wear them again."
"It's all about creating a better mindset," the Bravo star added in her message, "changing your environment so that you can set yourself up for success."
After news of her and Sandoval's affair came to light in March, Leviss sought treatment for her mental health and has since been staying out of the spotlight in Arizona.
As for Sandoval and his ex Ariana Madix, they've also moved on from the Bravo controversy.
He tested his mental and physical endurance on Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test and competed on The Masked Singer while Madix is currently a fan-favorite on season 32 of Dancing With the Stars.
Keep reading for everything we know (so far) about Vanderpump Rules season 11 in the wake of Scandoval.
Filming for Vanderpump Rules season 11 began in late June just weeks after the explosive three-part season 10 finale finished airing. Ariana Madix was even spotted letting loose while shooting at her ex's restaurant TomTom.
"Dj James Kennedy is playin' a set at tomtom," TikTok user audpen wrote June 30 with a video of Madix dancing inside the West Hollywood eatery. "Ariana is as gorgeous as ever living her best life, and the whole crowd chants for her. The world is good."
On July 6, Tom Sandoval was seen filming for the first time since Scandoval. The 40-year-old dropped flowers off at Lisa Vanderpump's now-closed West Hollywood hot-spot PUMP, which shut its doors this summer.
Season 11 will surely highlight the opening of Madix and Katie Maloney's new West Hollywood sandwich shop Something About Her, which is supposed to open this summer amid filming. The BFFs have shared plenty of sneak peeks inside their latest business venture on social media.
Four months after filming their shocking season 10 reunion showdown, the exes were spotted filming together on July 11 at SUR's weekly See You Next Tuesday event with several of their costars.
Bravo fans will have to wait and see as to whether Madix and Sandoval actually interacted during the outing.
After checking out of a mental health facility in Wickenburg, Arizona in July, Rachel "Raquel" Leviss confirmed in August she is not returning for season 11. In fact, she stated that she won't be coming back to reality TV at all.
"Oh, hell no," Raquel told Bethenny Frankel. "No because I refuse to not respect myself on that level where I would endure that emotional abuse any longer."
On July 18, Scheana Shay and husband Brock Davies, James Kennedy and girlfriend Ally Lewber, Tom Schwartz, Sandoval and Lala Kent jetted off to Lake Tahoe for a summer getaway, marking the cast's first post-Scandoval vacation.
Shay and Kent shared Instagram Stories from their luxury lakeside rental. As for where they stand with Sandoval…
Although Shay and Sandoval were photographed posing with a fan alongside their costars in Tahoe, the "Good as Gold" singer clarified she has not totally forgiven the TomTom co-owner for his affair.
Retweeting a video of Sandoval from her Instagram, Shay wrote July 19, "Who said all is forgiven?? We are all here for Lisa."
She added in response to another social media user questioning if they were friends again, "I'm posing in a photo for a fan. I take photos w strangers on the daily and have my arm bent up behind ppl. End of story. Should I look miserable in a group fan photo I got thrown in walking to our car?"
While in town, the cast checked out Vanderpump's new club Wolf at Harrah's, meaning fans will definitely get a look at the restauranteur's new Tahoe business venture next season.
In videos shared to social media, Shay, Davies, Kent, Sandoval, Schwartz, Kennedy and Lewber even helped knock down walls inside the venue during renovations.
Several weeks after Leviss finished her stay at a treatment facility, Kennedy announced their dog Graham, who they rescued in 2018 while still dating, was back in his custody.
"Look who made his way back home, back into my life," the DJ wrote in a July 19 Instagram along with two adorable photos. "I'll take care of you forever and I love you."
As it was announced in early July that Madix is officially joining season 32 of Dancing With the Stars, we can only hope we'll get a behind-the-scenes look at her ballroom prep.
While the cast was filming their Tahoe trip, Madix flew to Fiji to make a special appearance on her favorite show Love Island USA.
On Aug. 6, the whole cast (minus Sandoval) was pictured enjoying a tasting at Something About Her ahead of the shop's opening.
While they made sure to keep their distance from one another, Madix and Sandoval were photographed together for the first time since the explosive season 10 reunion.
The exes reunited for an Aug. 8 water tasting with the rest of their season 11 castmates.
Schwartz debuted bleach-blond hair in August.
Season 11 culminates with a group vacation in San Francisco. Madix, Sandoval, Schwartz, Maloney, Kent, Shay, Kennedy and Lewber were all in attendance according to their Instagram Stories touring the Golden Gate bridge and other landmarks.
Madix's man joined the cast on their season 11 trip to San Francisco and it seems he's set to make his debut on the show.
Madix and Wait coordinated for a night out in SF.
On Aug. 3, Kennedy announced "that's a wrap" on season 11 with a cute pic with Lewber in San Francisco.
