Ariana Madix and Rachel Leviss have been making global headlines as the central figures in the legal fallout surrounding the Scandoval controversy. Refusing to end the legal fight, the American TV personality will now take the case to the Supreme Court.
Ariana Madix May Ask the California Supreme Court To Review Her Legal Battle With Rachel Leviss
Ariana Madix, known for Vanderpump Rules, previously appealed in a California appeals court to dismiss Rachel Leviss’s revenge porn and privacy lawsuit, but she lost that legal battle.
However, she has not given up and now plans to take the matter to the highest court. As TMZ reported, Madix is prepared to continue fighting the case at the Supreme Court level.
Madix has requested to postpone the hearing date until September 2026. However, she currently has around 40 days to decide whether she will move forward with the appeal.
Looking deeper into the case, the lawsuit drama began on February 20, 2024, when Rachel Leviss filed a civil complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court. The root of the conflict goes back to the explosive Vanderpump Rules “Scandoval” revelation in early 2023.
During that period, Ariana Madix discovered explicit FaceTime videos of Leviss on Tom Sandoval’s phone. She recorded the content and sent it to Leviss, an incident that not only exposed the hidden affair but also became a major turning point in the public scandal.
Rachel Leviss filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval of revenge porn after expressing her anger over the incident.
However, in mid-2024, Ariana Madix attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed, citing free speech protections. The judge rejected her request and ruled that the case would continue moving forward.
