Looks like Tom Sandoval won’t be suing ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix after all!
Earlier this week, it was reported that Sandoval sued Maddix over a video of Rachel “Raquel” Revis that he found on Maddix’s phone.
Now, Tom has taken to social media to reveal the truth.
he Claimed He wrote on Instagram: “I am not suing Ariana. The lawsuit against Ariana filed on my behalf will be dismissed. I have no ill will or vendetta against Ariana. By dismissing both the counterclaim and the attorney who recommended it, I hope to bring this litigation to a quick end so that Ariana and I can finally move forward with our lives.”
Explaining what happened, Sandoval said, “Late Tuesday afternoon, Matt Geragos, an attorney I trusted, called me regarding a cross-filing of a lawsuit against me and Ariana. He assured me that the lawsuit was customary and strictly preemptive in this type of litigation, and urged me to agree to it. The words ‘new lawsuit’ and ‘sue’ were not clearly communicated to me. I should have done more due diligence on this matter. Upon understanding what this action would actually mean, I have removed Matt Geragos from my legal team.”
According to the documents obtained by Us Weekly, Ariana “accessed” Tom’s phone on March 1, 2023 and accessed explicit videos of Reavis without his “permission or approval.”
The newspaper accused Maddix of making copies of the video and distributing them to “Reavis and third parties.”

In February, Revis filed a lawsuit against Tom and Ariana, claiming that explicit videos of her were filmed “without her knowledge or consent” and then “publicly distributed, disseminated and discussed by the woman scorned.” [Madix] I want revenge.”
Sandoval and Maddix asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, but the judge set a trial date for November 2025.
The fallout after Ariana discovered the video was aired on “Vanderpump Rules,” leading to Tom and Ariana ending their nine-year relationship and ultimately Revis leaving the show.
