Ariana Madix swore months in the past that she by no means despatched or confirmed anybody that NSFW video of Rachel Leviss!
In case you missed it, some bombshell information dropped earlier this week that rocked Vanderpump Rules followers world. And no, we’re not speaking concerning the Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright separation!

You will recall that the 38-12 months-outdated Broadway star realized concerning the months-lengthy affair between her then-boyfriend and buddy final 12 months when she by accident noticed an X-rated clip of a FaceTime name between Rachel and Sandoval on his cellphone. At the time, the previous pageant queen mentioned Sandy recorded the video with out her permission.

And minimize to this week, Rachel ended up suing Ariana and Tom over the express video! She accused him of recording her performing a sexual act “without her knowledge or consent.” Meanwhile, the 29-12 months-outdated claimed the previous Dancing With the Star competitor allegedly distributed it to others, together with the forged members, as she was “seeking vengeance.” Yikes…
Neither Sandoval nor Ariana have addressed the lawsuit. But it seems that she did handle the stop and desist letter Rachel had despatched out concerning the pornographic video again in August!
When the lawsuit information broke, a video resurfaced on social media of Ariana on the Scheananigans podcast discussing the problem. She insisted she had “not shown or sent” to anybody! Notably, host Scheana Shay agreed with the Something About Her proprietor! Ariana mentioned:
“To be very clear, I have not shown or sent that video. I don’t have it. I did not hold onto it for any reason. That video was gone, gone, gone, gone, gone before I ever even called her on the phone. And just so everyone knows, I saw maybe about five seconds of that. I wasn’t sitting there like, popping popcorn for movie night… I know that she said that people know about what’s in it. It’s very simple. I’m not going to get into the details, but there’s not a lot of details. It’s straightforward.”
Hmm. Ariana went on to say that she thought it was a “good idea” for Rachel to take “precaution” and ship the stop and desist to the forged. According to the cocktail e book creator, her legal professional then responded to the letter with “proof” that she by no means distributed the video of Rachel! What?! Ariana defined:
“My lawyer made all of that very clear. When she sent a cease and desist to the entire cast as a precaution – definitely think that is a great idea, think that is the right thing to do. Totally understandable why that would be sent out. Great precaution to take, you should take that precaution. My lawyer responded to said precaution with very thorough, very clear information that proved and showed it was like, ‘Absolutely not. Here you go. Here’s proof.’ All this stuff.”
Ariana made it very clear that it could be a “big issue” if Sandoval recorded her within the sexual act with out her consent. However, she famous that was then “something that she should address with him directly” — and never her. Of course, we all know that Rachel is making this each Ariana and Tom’s subject now! See the clip (beneath):
Ariana has already addressed that she has NEVER proven this video to the general public, even on Scheana’s podcast. So the truth that Rachel is dragging her into this lawsuit is so disgusting. https://t.co/jBmEOSaNXJ pic.twitter.com/627IRZPGyc
