The pageant queen continued, “I reflected on my choices, talked to a counselor and I learned things about myself like my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved. I’m looking for emotional validation through unhealthy close connections without regard for my own well-being, sometimes negatively affecting others and often prioritizing close connections over my friendships.”
Noting that she is now “taking steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices,” Raquel added, “I don’t expect sympathy, understanding or forgiveness. to be a better person in the future, I will prioritize my mental health and learn from my mistakes.”
Tom is also in public apologized to Ariana because of his “reckless decisions” without a clear admission of an affair. “I feel terrible,” he said wrote in part on Instagram March 7. “My biggest regret is that I let Ariana down. I never meant to let so many people down, including our loving families and friends.”
