Tom Sandoval, after cheating on Ariana Madix, his partner of nine years, with their mutual friend and costar Rachel Leviss, spent the entire 11th season of Vanderpump Rules claiming that he had taken accountability for Scandoval. But he has still decided to sue Madix for accessing explicit videos of Leviss on his phone without prior “authorization.” And he seems to have deleted his Instagram. Sure.
For context, Madix discovered the affair when she found the explicit videos on Sandoval’s phone in March of 2023. Now, according to court documents, as reported by Us Weekly, Sandoval is claiming that Madix unlawfully “obtained access” to his phone without his permission and “made copies” to distribute to “Leviss and third parties.”
Sandoval’s lawsuit could be a reaction to the lawsuit Leviss filed against both him and Madix, alleging revenge porn and invasion of privacy, per Us Weekly.

In response to the lawsuit from Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix’s lawyer released a statement saying, “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 and now this attempt to further shirk personal responsibility for the effects his actions have had on her and her emotional wellbeing. Tom Sandoval knows full well what sort of privileges he and Ms. Madix shared in regard to their personal communication devices.”
Madix told Glamour in June of 2023 that her and Sandoval’s devices were synced at the time of the affair. “A few weeks after all of this [broke], I was just doing stuff on the laptop,” she said. “I bought it, so it’s mine now—and I found all kinds of stuff in the Notes app. It would be a note labeled ‘restaurant,’ but then way down at the bottom there’s screenshots of text messages and things like that.”
