Reality TV star Tom Sandoval has made headlines once again, this time deactivating his Instagram account shortly after filing a lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix. The lawsuit alleges that Madix accessed explicit videos of Raquel Leviss, which ultimately led to the demise of Sandoval and Madix's relationship.
Despite Sandoval's Instagram going cold, fans of the show 'Vanderpump Rules' took to social media to express their opinions on the situation. Some criticized Sandoval for his actions, with one person vowing not to support the bar he co-owns with his co-star due to the controversy.
The lawsuit, filed by Sandoval, accuses Madix of unauthorized access to explicit clips of Leviss from his phone, as reported by Us Weekly. The court documents claim that Madix made copies of the footage and distributed them to Leviss and third parties.
The events leading up to the lawsuit unfolded on March 1, 2023, when Madix discovered a NSFW FaceTime recording on Sandoval's phone, revealing his affair with Leviss. This revelation prompted Madix to end their nine-year relationship, which had been marred by scandal and infidelity.
Madix, who has since moved on and found love with boyfriend Daniel Wai, had previously accused Sandoval of filming her without consent. She had sued both Sandoval and Madix for revenge porn, eavesdropping, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.
Amidst the drama, Sandoval has begun dating model Victoria Lee Robinson, while Madix has focused on her new relationship. The ongoing saga between the former couple continues to captivate fans of the reality TV show, with each new development adding fuel to the fire.
