Vanderpump Rules fans are unhappy with Tom Sandoval’s recent actions. The reality star has launched a lawsuit against Ariana Madix, claiming she accessed his phone without permission and grabbed compromising videos of Rachel (or Raquel) Leviss.
These are the same videos tied to two revenge-porn lawsuits that Rachel has brought against both Tom and Ariana.
The clips also shed light on Tom’s secret relationship with Rachel that went on for months behind Ariana’s back. Tom’s legal claim accuses Ariana of making copies of the video and passing them to Rachel and others. Tom claims she did this without his go-ahead.
Waaiiiiiit a minute..

Tom Sandoval is suing Ariana Maddix?????

Rachel, meanwhile, has argued that Tom recorded and kept the videos without her consent.
“It is abhorrent that Tom Sandoval continues to torment Ms. Madix,” stated Jordan Susman, Ariana’s attorney, per Vulture. “From starting a secret affair that wrecked her peace to months of emotional strife and now this legal stunt to dodge taking responsibility for how his actions have messed with her mental well-being.”
Jordan expressed confidence that a jury would recognize the lawsuit as a baseless attempt and toss it out.
After hearing about the lawsuit, Vanderpump Rules fans took to social media to call out Tom.

The backlash from Vanderpump Rules fans has been sharp and united in their criticism of Tom. The outpouring of dismay and anger on social platforms prove that most viewers are on team Ariana on this one.
One fan expressed: “Tom Sandoval is human garbage and he proves it over and over again. This is actually deranged.”
“I’m fully convinced that if reality TV didn’t work out for Tom Sandoval he would’ve been a serial killer. That man is truly demented,” another person wrote.

More fans chimed in, showing deep dislike and a determination to disconnect from Tom’s future projects.
“Tom Sandoval is literally so vile and low-down I will never watch a show that has him on it again and if I ever see him in the streets it will be ON SIGHT,” said another.
Another fan fiercely defended Ariana: “Tom Sandoval is suing Queen Ariana Madix! This man needs to be put on pause, period!”
