Ariana Madix has suffered another courtroom defeat in the legal fallout from the “Scandoval” affair.
A California Court of Appeal has denied the former Vanderpump Rules star’s attempt to have Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ lawsuit against her dismissed, meaning the case will continue toward trial.
The ruling marks a significant victory for Leviss, who first filed suit in 2024 over allegations stemming from the explosive cheating scandal that dominated headlines the previous year.
Madix’s legal team had argued that Leviss’ claims should be dismissed under California’s anti-SLAPP law, which is designed to protect constitutionally protected speech from meritless lawsuits.
Her attorneys maintained that the events surrounding Tom Sandoval’s affair with Leviss were matters of enormous public interest and that Madix’s alleged conduct fell within those protections.
The appellate court disagreed.
According to the ruling, Madix “failed to meet her burden of establishing” that the claims against her arose from protected activity, allowing Leviss’ lawsuit to proceed.
The legal dispute traces back to March 2023, when Madix discovered that longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval had been carrying on a months-long affair with Leviss.
According to court filings, Madix accessed Sandoval’s phone and found sexually explicit FaceTime recordings involving Leviss.
Madix has acknowledged that she copied the videos and sent them to herself before forwarding them to Leviss as part of confronting her about the affair. She has denied distributing the videos publicly.
Leviss later sued both Sandoval and Madix.
Her lawsuit alleges invasion of privacy and violations of California’s revenge porn statute against Madix. Sandoval also faces claims related to allegedly recording the videos without Leviss’s knowledge or consent. Madix has denied wrongdoing throughout the litigation.
Wednesday’s ruling does not determine whether Madix is liable.
Instead, it clears the way for Leviss’ claims to continue in the trial court after Madix’s attempt to end the case early failed.
Neither Madix nor Leviss immediately commented publicly on the appellate decision, though representatives for both women were contacted by multiple outlets following the ruling.
And these days, Sandoval has a separate set of legal problems stemming from his problematic breakup with Victoria Lee Robinson.
More than three years after “Scandoval” became one of reality television’s biggest scandals, the personal drama may have faded from Bravo’s cameras, but the legal consequences continue to play out in court.
While Vanderpump Rules has since moved on with a new cast, the lawsuits stemming from the affair remain unresolved, and this latest decision ensures this closely watched case will continue.

Just a few months ago, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon launched her OnlyFans.
At first, she kept things softcore.
After a more than successful launch, Lauryn is preparing to unleash more than just nudes upon her subscribers.
The mother of four is explaining why she’s now ready to post hardcore videos for her fans. Who will be her co-stars?
She’s turning her OnlyFans up a notch!
Lauryn spoke to TMZ about how, unlike her initial OnlyFans launch in March, she’s now ready to go all the way on the platform.
“I really started doing hardcore,” she acknowledged.
Lauryn explained that this is “because, truthfully, it’s another revenue of money and so many options to do and give.”
She is already making a killing on the adult subscription platform.
Additionally, Lauryn has also teamed up with a strip club.

For now, the hardcore offering features only Lauryn and her boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens.
The video is pay-per-view, a controversial but not uncommon choice only the OnlyFans platform.
(Some sex workers offer free or very cheap subscriptions while doing PPV for profits, while others have higher subscription costs but advertise “no PPV ever.” It really depends upon what the subscriber is looking for.)
Usually, these sorts of videos cost anywhere from $10 to $50 depending upon how many performers are in them, how long they are, etc.
In Lauryn’s case, she’s apparently charging from between $100 to $150, depending upon how much footage of her and Darrin you want to see.
Her boyfriend won’t be the only partner on screen with her
Lauryn has big plans for her future on OnlyFans, by the way.
Boning her boyfriend on camera is to be expected, but she plans to branch out.
She told TMZ that she plans to hook up with at least one other woman for future content.
Lauryn even acknowledged that she and Darrin may end up doing a threesome in the future.
All of this may hinge upon how many subscribers are curious — or horny — enough to shell out a utility payment’s dollar amount for the footage.
Some believe that Lauryn has not found true happiness following her split from Josh Efird.
Instead, they argue that she is caught in a downward spiral — with some even comparing this to Mama June Shannon’s pre-pandemic downfall in which she lost her home, her fortune, a tooth, and a lot of trust from her family.
That’s not really a fair comparison. It does appear that Lauryn is “acting out” a little (though we should remember that she became a mom at 17 and had an unenviable childhood), but she’s making money — not losing it.
Though Lauryn and June have both made outlandish public statements, we think that some of those accusing her of spiraling are expressing anti-sex work bias, even if they do not mean to. Sex work is work, and it seems to be paying more than WEtv is shelling out for their reality show.
Most people who sign up as OnlyFans creators are not likely to make much, let alone enough to make a living. Lauryn has reported 6-figure earnings. Good for her!
