Well, folks, it’s come to this: Tom Sandoval is suing his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix for the Scandoval inciting incident, when she found the phone sex video of him and Rachel Leviss on his phone and confronted him about it, calling it an invasion of his privacy. In other words, the cheater of the decade is suing the woman he cheated on for uncovering his cheating.
This is in tandem with Leviss’s lawsuit against both of them, where she claims Sandoval recorded the explicit video without her consent and Madix then made copies of it and distributed them to third parties as revenge porn.
Madix’s attorney responded to the lawsuit by saying:
“It is abhorrent that Tom Sandoval continues to torment Ms. Madix. From engaging in an illicit affair that shattered her home and stability, to months of emotional warfare and now this attempt to further shirk personal responsibility for the effects his actions have had on her and her emotional wellbeing. Mr. Sandoval knows full well what sort of privileges he and Ms. Madix shared in regard to their personal communication devices. If he or his mistress had their way, it would be illegal for someone to discover their spouse or significant other was having an affair.”
Dare I say, mic drop? I mean, is it technically illegal to go through someone’s phone without their permission? Maybe. Is it probably illegal and also super shitty to share the explicit video one finds when one does so? Absolutely, though the jury is still out on whether or not Madix did, in fact, distribute the video in a bout of revenge. Revenge porn is heinous, but I’m more inclined to believe that the person at fault for revenge porn in this scenario is the one who recorded the video. It’s beneath even him to sue someone for exposing him as a douchebag. Or so I thought.
