During the episode, the former reality star read from a diary about her three-month stay at The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona, where she voluntarily checked into treatment.
In it, Rachel claimed that Tom “manipulated” her and kept her under his “love spell,” making it difficult for her to let go.
She also said that Schwartz and Sandy’s co-owner tried to distance her from her family, insisting that her mother was “gaslighting” her.
“My mother has ulterior motives, he says. He tries to talk me out of treatment. ‘They’re going to brainwash you. There’s no such thing as love addiction,'” Rachel read.
