Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval have responded to Rachel Leviss‘ lawsuit claiming revenge porn, eavesdropping, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress in the wake of the “Scandoval” that played out last year on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules.
Madix on Friday filed a declaration citing California’s anti-SLAPP law which protects against frivolous lawsuits. In response to Leviss’ lawsuit that was filed in February (which you can read here), Madix recounted how she first learned of the affair between her then-boyfriend Sandoval and Leviss; she found video of Leviss masturbating on Sandoval’s phone.
Madix says she made a copy of the video but never shared it others, least of all production, according to the declaration. When she confronted Sandoval about the discovery, he deleted the copy. “I did not send the videos to anyone else.
Nor did I share, display, or show the videos to anyone else,” Madix said in the declaration. “To be clear, I only saw the video of plaintiff masturbating in places secluded from others.” The declaration also includes a picture of the text she immediately sent to Leviss, which says “you’re dead to me.” Madix’s declaration can be read here.
