Former "Vanderpump Rules" cast member Rachel Leviss is fighting back against Ariana Madix's bid to dismiss the plaintiff's revenge porn and other claims against her, arguing in new court papers that distributing intimate photos of the plaintiff has nothing to do with the First Amendment.Leviss alleges in her lawsuit that 40-year-old Tom Sandoval and the 39- year-old Madix, both still cast members on the show, produced and disseminated sexually explicit images of the plaintiff.
"I began to confide in Sandoval, who had been in a relationship with Madix since 2014 and lived with her in Valley Village, California," Leviss says, "Over time, we became increasingly close, and I began to rely on him for emotional support; he, in turn, began to confide in me about the dire state of his relationship with Madix, describing it as a business partnership and casting its end as foregone.
