“I think I might have to tune in to watch it. I don’t know why,” she said of Peacock’s Emmy-nominated psychological reality competition series. “I mean, I watched [Sandoval on] Special forces.

Rachel Leviss claims Tom Sandoval is ‘blaming the victim’ after turning her into an ‘unwitting porn star’

The former reality star shared that she wasn’t ready to endure the physically and mentally challenging series after her stay at The Meadows, a mental health facility in Wickenburg, Arizona, where she sought voluntary treatment following her and Sandoval’s months-long secret relationship.

“I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I’m going to walk out of this inpatient treatment facility and go straight into, like, a horrible, traumatic situation where everybody’s yelling at me and telling me I’m one with–you all that stuff? No,” she recalled.

However, that didn’t stop her from tuning in to watch the Schwartz & Sandy co-owner compete on the Fox reality series.

Tom Sandoval calls ex Rachel Leviss a ‘coward’ as he reflects on his ‘toughest season’ yet and ‘long way to go’

“I watched it and in a way I had a little joy watching him go through painful experiences,” she admitted. “I might have to get involved Traitors.”

“I watched last season Traitors, and the dynamics are interesting”, she added. “I don’t know many people on [season 3] actors but I may have to adjust to this as I feel he is the ultimate manipulator and it would be very interesting to see his tactics in a situation where he is encouraged to manipulate. Like, more like ‘put your psych cap on’ for this because it sounds like a lot of fun.”

Representatives for Sandoval did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
