Attorneys representing Tom Sandoval have filed court documents requesting the dismissal or amendment of Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ revenge porn lawsuit against him. The documents argue that the lawsuit is an attempt by Leviss to extend her fame and portray herself as a victim, while denigrating her former friend Ariana Madix and Sandoval. The public drama between Leviss and Sandoval has been ongoing since last year on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, originating from an incident where Madix discovered explicit videos of Leviss on Sandoval’s phone while they were dating.
Leviss filed the lawsuit in February 2024, accusing Sandoval and Madix of eavesdropping, revenge porn, and invasion of privacy. Sandoval’s legal team aims to discredit these claims, stating that the videos in question were consensually exchanged between Leviss and Sandoval on Facetime, and Sandoval merely saved private copies of them.
