Rachel has apologized for her part in an affair.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe law makes it clear that recording someone without their consent and distributing that illegal recording is punishable by law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nShe is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages from the pair, and requested they destroy and delete the alleged videos. Bravo, parent company NBC Universal, and production company Evolution Media are not part of the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe first court hearing on the matter will take place in Los Angeles on 7 July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/scandoval-goes-court-rachel-leviss-suing-tom-sandoval-ariana-madix-1395460.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 March 2024 Rachel Leviss is suing Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix for revenge porn.
