Ariana Madix just suffered another legal blow as a California appeals court ruled her attempt to dismiss Rachel Leviss’s lawsuit failed — the case can continue. Madix argued her actions were protected by free speech since the “Scandoval” drama was already public, but judges rejected that, noting public buzz doesn’t make private videos public domain. Leviss claims Madix accessed Tom Sandoval’s phone, stole private videos of her, and shared them — videos allegedly showing her undressed. Leviss also sued Sandoval for revenge porn and invasion of privacy. The court didn’t rule on the truth of the allegations or whether Madix sent the videos beyond Leviss — just that Madix can’t use free speech as a shield now. Leviss’s legal battle is far from over, and this ruling is a major step forward in the case.
