The messy Scandoval cheating scandal continues to spur more legal fallout, as “Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Sandoval sues ex-girlfriend and co-star Ariana Madix for invasion of privacy. Madix accessed her former longtime partner’s phone in March 2023 and “reviewed images information, data, videos and/or communications,” including sexually explicit FaceTime footage of co-star Rachel Leviss, without his “authorization or permission,” Sandoval alleged in a cross-complaint filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Madix also allegedly made copies of the explicit Leviss footage and “distributed the [videos] to Leviss and third parties” without Sandoval’s consent, the complaint says.

The counterclaim hails from a lawsuit that Leviss, 29, (formerly “Raquel Leviss”), filed in February , accusing Sandoval, 42, and Madix, 39, of eavesdropping, revenge porn, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Leviss filed her lawsuit a year after the tabloid scandal revealed that she had been sleeping with Sandoval, Madix’s longtime boyfriend. Both Leviss’ lawsuit and Sandoval’s countercomplaint center on an incident on March 1, 2023, where Madix allegedly went through Sandoval’s phone after it fell from his pocket during a West Hollywood performance with his band.

She found sexually explicit footage from a FaceTime call between Leviss and Sandoval, sparking the cheating scandal. In her lawsuit, Leviss accused Sandoval of recordi.
