Right now, though it could change, the&nbsp;<em>Vanderpump Rules<\/em>&nbsp;stars will be facing off on November 3, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though, like the best and worst of reality TV, it might be a long and bitter road to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the seemingly never-ending saga of the explicit video and two-timing that captivated multiple seasons of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/bravo\/\">Bravo<\/a>&nbsp;hit,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/02\/vanderpump-rules-lawsuit-rachel-leviss-scandoval-1235841861\/\">Leviss sued Madix and Sandoval<\/a>&nbsp;in February on claims of revenge porn, eavesdropping, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one would expect, Madix and Sandoval \u2014 the former long-term couple before Sandoval had an affair with Leviss that exploded on Season 10 of&nbsp;<em>Vanderpump Rules<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 aren\u2019t going along with Leviss, who is represented by Bryan Freedman, Jason Sunshine and Mark Geragos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an early-morning hearing Thursday in downtown Los Angeles, Judge Daniel Crawley entertained arguments from lawyers on both sides about Madix and Sandoval\u2019s moving to have Leviss\u2019 February 29 complaint gutted under California\u2019s free-speech-defending anti-SLAPP laws; Crawley earlier this year removed the emotional distress claim from the civil suit. Although Madix\u2019s attorney Jordan Sussman pitched to the judge that \u201cMs. Leviss has put her entire life, including her sex life, before the public,\u201d the plaintiff\u2019s team pushed back on the claims of distribution of the footage of Leviss masturbating that is at the heart of this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe court is in a position to readily conclude by virtue of the evidence, she has violated numerous criminal statutes, and therefore her conduct is not protected activity,\u201d Sunshine said of Madix allegedly showing the video she discovered on Sandoval\u2019s phone to others and the resulting Scandoval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe law suggests that anything beyond the expressly authorized dissemination of pornographic materials constitutes revenge porn,\u201d Sunshine went on to say today. \u201cThe act was intended to menace her, to terrorize her, to put her on notice that Ms. Madix knows about the affair and hates her,\u201d he added of Madix\u2019s conduct in this context toward Leviss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as a variety of damages, Leviss and her lawyers wants all copies of a NSFW FaceTime video of her and Sandoval destroyed. They also are seeking an injunction to make sure nobody ever sees it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentioned frequently in Leviss\u2019 initial filing, Bravo,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/nbcuniversal\/\">NBCUniversal<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/andy-cohen\/\">Andy Cohen<\/a>&nbsp;and other<em>&nbsp;Vanderpump<\/em>&nbsp;producers are not named defendants \u2013 though the outlet, the media giant and the sharp-elbowed host have all been in the dark spotlight over their machinations in the sordid underbelly of unscripted TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That injunction sought by Leviss would distinctly pull the corporate overlords into this case \u2013 whether during the penciled-in trial or later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawyers for Madix and Sandoval did not respond to request for comment by Deadline. Attorneys for Leviss also did not respond to request for comment. If and when they do, this post will be updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Leviss-less Season 11 of<em>&nbsp;Vanderpump Rules<\/em>&nbsp;wrapped its Bravo run at the end of May. In April it was revealed that<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/04\/vanderpump-rules-season-12-filming-delayed-bravo-pause-summer-the-valley-1235900585\/\">&nbsp;summer filming of a Season 12 would be delayed&nbsp;<\/a>as a result of the excess of Scandoval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, we will update this post once Crawley issues his official ruling on today\u2019s hearing. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE, 7:45 PM:&nbsp;The writing on the courthouse wall pretty much indicated where things were going in Rachel Leviss\u2019 revenge porn lawsuit against her former&nbsp;Vanderpump Rules&nbsp;co-star&nbsp;Ariana Madix&nbsp;and Tom Sandoval, but now it\u2019s official.&nbsp;
