Sandoval accuses Madix of making copies of explicit video
In a lawsuit obtained by US Weekly, it is claimed that the Love Island USA host “made copies” of a video from his phone before their breakup. Not only that, but he also alleges that she distributed the video to “Leviss and third parties” without his consent. At the time, Madix had discovered her ex-partner’s month-long affair with her friend, happening behind her back.

‘The Scandoval’
The gloves are off in the explosive Vanderpump Rules fallout. After a nearly decade-long relationship that ended in a very public cheating scandal, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix are embroiled in a legal battle . Last year’s Vanderpump Rules season 9 finale became infamous for the “scandoval.” Cameras documented the fallout after Madix discovered explicit videos of Leviss on Sandoval’s phone. Their relationship ended soon after. Though Sandoval briefly dated Leviss, they too went their separate ways in May 2023.
Ariana Madix’s attorney responds
“It is abhorrent that Tom Sandoval continues to torment Ms. Madix. From engaging in an illicit affair that shattered her home and stability, to months of emotional warfare,” Madix’s attorney Jordan Susman responded to the lawsuit as per US Weekly.
Calling this attempt to, “further shirk personal responsibility for the effects his actions have had on her and her emotional wellbeing,” Susaman said Tom Sandoval is well aware of the shared access and privileges he and Ms. Madix had regarding their personal devices.
The statement further read, “If he or his mistress had their way, it would be illegal for someone to discover their spouse or significant other was having an affair. For Mr. Sandoval to go from begging Ms. Madix for forgiveness to blaming her for his wrongdoing speaks for itself.
