On Feb. 29, ex-\u201cVanderpump Rules<\/a>\u201d star Rachel Leviss<\/a> filed an explosive lawsuit<\/a> against her former castmates Tom Sandoval<\/a> and Ariana Madix for eavesdropping, revenge porn, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. At the core of Leviss\u2019 lawsuit is Sandoval\u2019s recording of \u201csexually explicit videos of her without her knowledge or consent, which were then distributed, disseminated, and discussed publicly by a scorned women seeking vengeance, catalyzing the scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Leviss is not suing\u00a0Bravo<\/a>, NBCUniversal or Evolution, the production company behind \u201cVanderpump Rules,\u201d the lawsuit, filed by her attorneys Bryan Freedman<\/a> and Mark Geragos, claims these companies \u201csanitized the story to ensure Leviss would be seen as the arch-villain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in contradiction to part of Leviss\u2019 suit, Variety<\/em> has reviewed an email from her former attorney dated March 6, 2023. In the letter, sent to Evolution\u2019s parent company, MGM, Leviss\u2019 then-lawyer insisted that the \u201cright thing\u201d to do is not<\/em> to air any discussion of the recording of Leviss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiving life to a recording that was illegally obtained by allowing discussion of it on-air would be tantamount to rewarding someone for robbing a bank or shooting someone,\u201d wrote Lawrence M Kopeikin, who represented Leviss during this period. \u201cWe would hope that Evolution and Bravo have sufficient character and restraint to not air any discussion of this illegally obtained recording.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked to comment on this apparent discrepancy, Freedman \u2014 Leviss\u2019 current lawyer \u2014 wrote: \u201cClearly, you do not understand what this case is about? If you did understand the actual legal claim, you would not be asking questions about a letter sent to a production company that is not even named as a defendant in the complaint. This case is about Revenge Porn arising from illegally recording and disseminating a sexual video without the knowledge or consent of our client. It is not only a civil wrong but likely a crime. Let me know if you care to ask a question about the case that is actually being litigated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When contacted by Variety<\/em>, Kopeikin confirmed he no longer represents Leviss, and spokespeople for NBCUniversal and MGM declined to comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video in question of Leviss and Sandoval was briefly mentioned in the finale of Season 10 of \u201cVanderpump Rules,\u201d which was filmed spontaneously after the news of Leviss and Sandoval\u2019s affair broke in early March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the May 17 episode, without detailing its contents, Madix describes (using \u201cRaquel,\u201d Leviss\u2019 formerly preferred first name) how she\u2019d found in Sandoval\u2019s camera roll \u201ca screen recording of Raquel and Tom on Facetime.\u201d Her discovery served as the catalyst for the so-called Scandoval, the cheating scandal that propelled \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d into the zeitgeist and the ratings stratosphere last year. The nature of the video Madix had found wasn\u2019t widely known until March 7, 2023, when a TMZ story with the headline \u201c\u2019VANDERPUMP RULES\u2019 RAQUEL LEVISS INTIMATE FACETIME SESH WITH TOM<\/a> \u2026 She Says Was Recorded Without Permission\u201d went viral, after members of the cast had been sent letters warning them not to share the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Leviss\u2019 Feb. 29 lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, her attorneys claim that a key element of a scene between Leviss and Sandoval was edited out \u2014 at Sandoval\u2019s insistence. According to the lawsuit, during a scene at Leviss\u2019 apartment on March 4, 2023, \u201cLeviss confronted Sandoval for secretly recording pornographic videos of her and storing them unprotected on his phone\u201d on camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSandoval had not only invaded her privacy and breached her trust, but had also left her enormously vulnerable to a nightmare scenario of the videos leaking on the internet,\u201d the lawsuit reads. \u201cSandoval responded to Leviss\u2019 fury with cowardice and lies, claiming falsely that he had obtained her permission to record her. Seeing that Leviss was having none of it, however, Sandoval ultimately offered a reluctant admission and a sheepish apology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit cites media reports that Sandoval threatened to stop filming unless he was \u201cgranted editing rights over the scene. Shockingly, Bravo and Evolution obliged his demand. The scene was selectively edited to omit any mention of Sandoval\u2019s illicit recording or Leviss\u2019 lack of consent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit goes on. \u201cThis was part of a pattern and practice of Bravo and Evolution throwing Leviss under the bus in favor of Sandoval,\u201d it states. \u201cRecording someone engaged in sex acts without their consent is a crime, and Sandoval appears to have admitted it on camera. Portraying the confrontation as it actually occurred instead of protecting sleazy Sandoval would not only have been truthful, it would have also been \u2018good television.\u2019 But Bravo and Evolution apparently decided that Leviss would be their sacrificial lamb.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the scene as it played out in the May 17 finale, filmed on March 4, at her apartment, Leviss and Sandoval commiserate about what\u2019s happened, express regrets about how they could have done things differently and agree not to kiss on camera. They then profess their love to one another. \u201cI feel so isolated,\u201d Leviss says as Sandoval embraces her. After the scene ends, a chyron says, \u201cAfter filming this scene, Raquel turned off her phone and was not seen or heard from for weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The March 6, 2023 letter from Leviss\u2019 then-lawyer begins by acknowledging that the secret affair between Leviss and Sandoval would be featured on the show, and would be \u201cthe subject of on-camera discussion among the cast of \u2018Vanderpump Rules.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kopeikin then informs the company that Sandoval had \u201cillegally recorded an intimate Facetime exchange,\u201d which is illegal under California law. He adds that they think \u201cone or more cast members have shared this recording among themselves, which is a violation of several California statutes, including without limitation, California Penal Code Section 647(J)(4) (the so-called \u2018revenge porn\u2019 law).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter goes on to say that they \u201cknow that Bravo would not air any part of this recording (whether blurred or pixelated or otherwise obscured) since that could subject Evolution\/MGM and Bravo to possible civil and criminal liability.\u201d But Kopeikin tells the company that it\u2019s \u201cinappropriate for Evolution and Bravo to put on air any discussion among the cast of this illegally obtained recording. Here we are drawing a distinction between discussion of the affair between Raquel and Tom Sandoval, which we understand will be discussed on the show, as differentiated from a discussion of an illegally obtained recording which we feel should not be discussed on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the MGM executive, Kopeikin writes: \u201cWe would hope that Evolution and Bravo have sufficient character and restraint to not air any discussion of this illegally obtained recording. This is especially important given the nature of this illegally obtained recording. Once you\u2019ve had an opportunity to discuss this with Evolution and Bravo we would appreciate your confirming that discussion of this illegally obtained recording will not be aired on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kopeikin closes with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you and the people at Evolution and Bravo in advance for your understanding and for doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
