Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix during season 10 of Vanderpump Rules.
The Big Picture Rachel Leviss’s lawsuit against her former Vanderpump Rules co-stars Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval has taken another turn. Despite Madix and Sandoval’s multiple attempts to have the case thrown out, the judge has officially set them togo on trial on November 3, 2025. This means that the proceedings in the infamous legal battle involving Leviss, her ex-BFF Madix, and former boyfriend Tom Sandoval, which is also being referred to as ‘Scandoval’ is officially moving forward.
Madix has denied distributing the videos and filed a motion in April 2024 to dismiss the lawsuit under the anti-SLAPP statute, which safeguards free speech in California. However, at a hearing on July 11, 2024, LA Superior Court Judge Daniel Crowley clarified that Madix's actions were not protected by the anti-SLAPP statute. This means that what Rachel Leviss claims she did was illegal according to the law.
However, after all this drama and with the judge’s latest ruling, Leviss’s attorney, Bryan Freedman finally expressed his satisfaction with the court's decision. While speaking to Deadline, Freedman declared that Madix does not have “a free speech right to break into her boyfriend's phone,” let alone do it to steal sexually compromising videos of another woman.
