Rachel Leviss, formerly known as Raquel, is taking Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix to court in the aftermath of the Scandoval.

The 29-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum filed a lawsuit against her former costars on Thursday (February 29) in Los Angeles.

In it, she accuses the former couple of revenge porn amongst other claims. The lawsuit stems from the revelation of her affair with Tom in early 2023.

Fomented by Bravo and Evolution in conjunction with the cast, Leviss was subjected to a public skewering with little precedent and became, without exaggeration, one of the most hated women in America.” The documents continued, adding, “It is clear that Bravo deliberately sacrificed Leviss for the sake of its commercial interests from its refusal to allow her the opportunity to tell her side of the story and defend herself, which she repeatedly begged for permission to do.” Rachel‘s lawsuit suggests that Tom filmed a racy video call without her consent.
