Vanderpump Rules Spoilers – Raquel Leviss Gets Legal

Raquel Leviss recently learned that a sexually explicit video showing a FaceTime session with Tom Sandoval went viral. And that session reportedly recorded what happened when Sandoval broke up with Ariana Madix amid cheating rumors. As a result of the intimate contents, Leviss enlisted her lawyers, reported Page Six.

Because some of Raquel’s Vanderpump Rules co-stars received a copy of that video, her attorneys sent letters to them asking them to delete the clip and stop sending it to others. And the lawyers for the 28-year-old also revealed that the session was recorded “illegally without [her] knowledge or consent.” Because of California’s law against revenge porn, that recording constitutes a crime.

The revenge porn law bans invading individuals’ privacy by sending out “non-consensual pornography.” However, the letter did not reveal who recorded it. But rumors hint that Sandoval, 39, made the recording. The letter focuses on asking those who received the video to stop sending it to others and to delete it from phones or “any other manner or method in which the recording may exist.”

The cheating scandal turned into heartbreak for Madix, 37, and scorn for Sandoval and Leviss. And Ariana reportedly felt shocked when she viewed that sexually explicit video on his phone. As a result of discovering the two carried on a secret affair for months without her knowledge, Madix felt completely “blindsided and heartbroken,” shared an insider.

And beyond Ariana’s heartbreak over Tom cheating, she feels hurt by Leviss. She had considered the other woman a friend. But the rest of the Vanderpump Rules cast seemed equally shocked. And many turned to social media to express anger. As for the show itself, Bravo TV dusted off its cameras and began filming the scandal and its aftermath promptly.
