Rachel “Raquel” Leviss is suing her “Vanderpump Rules” co-stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix for revenge porn, eavesdropping, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, while Sandoval appears unfazed, enjoying a date with his girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson amidst the legal turmoil.
Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss found themselves in the eye of a storm that’s only been intensifying. Getty Images captured them in happier times, but those days seem like a distant memory now.
The scandal, affectionately dubbed Scandoval by fans and foes alike, has taken a dark turn. It’s been a year, but the drama refuses to fade away.
Raquel Leviss, known from “Vanderpump Rules,” has taken a bold step. She’s suing her former friends and lovers, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. The allegations? Revenge porn, eavesdropping, and a whole laundry list of privacy violations. “Us Weekly” got their hands on the court docs, and oh boy, are they juicy.
Meanwhile, Sandoval seems unfazed. He was spotted out on a date with Victoria Lee Robinson, all smiles and not a care in the world. They were hiking at sunset, a perfect scene for a romantic movie, if you ignore the legal drama shadowing Sandoval.
In a brief video, Sandoval reaches for Robinson’s hand, grinning widely. It’s like he’s in his own little world, far removed from the courtroom battles awaiting him.
The lawsuit paints a grim picture. It alleges Sandoval secretly recorded explicit videos of Leviss. And it gets worse. One of these videos is at the heart of the whole Scandoval saga.
Ariana Madix, Sandoval’s then-girlfriend, stumbled upon the damning evidence. She found the explicit video on Sandoval’s phone, a discovery that shattered their relationship.
The legal documents claim Sandoval didn’t stop at one video. He allegedly has multiple recordings of Leviss in compromising positions. And Madix? She’s accused of spreading these videos without Leviss’s consent.
Bravo, the network behind “Vanderpump Rules,” is caught in the crossfire but not named in the lawsuit. Still, the suit suggests Bravo exploited the scandal for ratings, dragging Leviss through the mud in the process.
Leviss’s side of the story is heartbreaking. She begged Bravo to let her defend herself, to no avail. The scandal took a toll on her mental health, forcing her into a three-month stay at a mental health facility.
As the drama unfolded on national TV, Leviss’s life crumbled. She’s now a shadow of her former self, her career and reputation in ruins.
Despite the chaos, Sandoval has kept quiet about the lawsuit. He’s moved on with Robinson, a relationship he confirmed on Billie Lee’s podcast. He claims they’ve known each other for ages.
It’s a tangled web of love, betrayal, and legal drama. And as the Vanderpump Rules saga continues, one thing’s for sure: the legend of Scandoval is far from over.
