Rachel “Raquel” Leviss extended public well-wishes to fellow “Vanderpump Rules” alum Jax Taylor as he checked into a mental health facility, but fans did not react positively.

“I am deeply saddened to hear of Jax’s mental health struggles and I wholeheartedly support his decision to seek treatment,” Leviss, 29, wrote in a screen recording of her notes app, which she shared via Instagram Wednesday.

“I pray that his news is met with the open-mindedness that mine lacked, as I faced mockery and accusations of simply being in a spa,” she went on, referencing her three-month stint at a mental health treatment center last year after her affair with Tom Sandoval was exposed.

“I hope he finds the healing that I did through my own journey.”

The former Bravolebrity ended her message by asserting that Taylor’s “situation highlights the urgent need for mental healthcare and accessible treatment for reality tv stars ✨💫.”

She captioned the video, “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”

Instagram users quickly flooded the comments, criticizing Leviss for appearing to make Taylor’s struggles about herself.

“How did you already manage to make this about yourself 😭,” “And you made this about you,” Did…..did you manage to make this about you? 😅,” “Yeah, this isn’t about you anymore,” “I dare you to not make everything about you” and “Sounds like you’re making this about you” were among the many critical messages left beneath the upload.

“Maybe some more treatment is needed if you felt the need to run to Instagram and make someone else’s situation about yourself,” someone else remarked, while another netizen wondered, “How have you managed to make this about yourself? This reads so passive aggressively too. Did you learn anything at that retreat?”

Someone else felt similarly, echoing, “This seems like a backhanded support message. Shoulda just kept this in the notes.”
