Tom Sandoval responded to Rachel Leviss' revenge porn lawsuit, claiming she acted in 'bad faith' and 'carelessness and negligence' in pursuing legal damages. Leviss accused Sandoval and Ariana Madix of revenge porn, eavesdropping, and invasion of privacy, leading to public fallout and mental health struggles. Sandoval's legal team argued that Leviss failed to mitigate damages, voluntarily exposed herself to consequences, and should be barred from seeking damages under 'the doctrine of unclean hands.' They also highlighted Leviss' public figure status, suggesting a lack of privacy rights due to legitimate public interest in the case.
