'Vanderpump Rules' Lawsuit: Rachel Leviss Sues Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix Over Scandoval Fallout

Leviss filed the lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The court documents, obtained by Deadline, state that Scandoval "also caused mayhem" in her life, which culminated in "months-long in-patient treatment at a mental health facility and her departure from the show." She claims that "lost in the mix was that Leviss was a victim of the predatory and dishonest behavior of an older man, who recorded sexually explicit videos of her without her knowledge or consent, which were then distributed, disseminated, and discussed publicly by a scorned woman seeking vengeance, catalyzing the scandal." She claims that, as a result, "she suffered in silence as Bravo and Evolution watched viewership explode, and the rest of the cast enjoyed unseen levels of public recognition and professional opportunity."
