Tom Sandoval Seeks Judge's Mercy After Missing Legal Deadline in Rachel Leviss Case

Tom Sandoval is seeking leniency from a Los Angeles Superior Court judge after missing a critical deadline in his legal battle with Rachel Leviss, who is suing him and his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix for invasion of privacy. Sandoval, who had been representing himself after parting ways with his previous legal team, claimed he was unaware of the implications of missing the deadline and was busy looking for a new attorney during the holiday season. He admitted to reaching out to Rachel's attorney for an extension but received no response. The lawsuit centers around explicit FaceTime videos allegedly recorded without Rachel's consent, which Ariana reportedly discovered on Tom's phone. Sandoval has since hired new legal representation and has pleaded with the court not to penalize him for his inexperience in navigating the legal process. Rachel's legal team has dismissed Sandoval's claims, suggesting he is attempting to evade responsibility for his actions.
