Tom Sandoval has now filed a lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix.
The 42-yera-old Vanderpump Rules star is suing the 39-year-old Love Island host over the footage she found on his phone that led her to find out he was cheating on her with Rachel Leviss.
This comes several months after Rachel sued both Tom and Ariana for revenge porn and more over the same video.

“On or about March 1, 2023, Cross-Defendant MADIX obtained access to Cross-Complainant SANDOVAL’s cell phone and reviewed images, information, data, videos and/or communications (“DATA”) including, but not limited to, Facetime videos between LEVISS and SANDOVAL without SANDOVAL’s authorization or permission,” Tom‘s suit, which was filed July 16th in LA Superior Court, states, via Deadline.
“SANDOVAL is informed and believes and thereon alleges that MADIX made copies of the DATA and distributed the DATA to LEVISS and third parties without SANDOVAL’s authorization or permission,” the court document continues.
In a repsonse, Ariana‘s lawyer Jordan Susman slammed Tom and said he is emotionally abusing his former partner.
“It is abhorrent that Tom Sandoval continues to torment Ms. Madix,” he shared with Deadline in a statement.
“From engaging in an illicit affair that shattered her home and stability, to months of emotional warfare and now this attempt to further shirk personal responsibility for the effects his actions have had on her and her emotional wellbeing,” Jordan continued. “Mr. Sandoval knows full well what sort of privileges he and Ms. Madix shared in regard to their personal communication devices. 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,” he added. “Even months after the New York Times branded Mr. Sandoval the most hated man in America, he has clearly learned nothing and believes it necessary to continue torturing Ms. Madix in a vain effort to rehabilitate his image.”
“Ms. Madix is confident that a jury will see through this latest ploy and dismiss his frivolous claims,” he concluded.
