Tom Sandoval denies Ariana Madix’s request to sell a shared home
Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval subsequently responded Ariana Madix sued him in hopes of selling the shared house.
This is evident from court documents obtained by People on Monday, February 26, Sandoval, 40, claimed that Madix, 38, had failed to “disclose sufficient facts to establish a case” and therefore believes her division of the property should not be allowed.
The documents, filed in Los Angeles on Friday, February 23, also alleged that Madix failed to conduct her lawsuit “reasonably and in good faith” because she “failed to mitigate the damages” she “had” through her own documents. In the event a divorce is granted, Sandoval has also requested to receive “accounting and compensatory adjustments” for any repairs and improvements he made “that increase value,” according to the outlet.
Last month, Madix alleged in court documents obtained by We weekly that the “disagreement” between her and Sandoval “continues to adversely affect the ownership” of the home and affects Madix’s “enjoyment of her interest” in the co-ownership. At the time, Madix asked the judge to “divide by sale” the property, which would order Sandoval to sell and split the proceeds.

After their split, they remained roommates as they tried to determine what to do with the property, communicating only through a “third party.”
After Madix joined Dancing with the stars in September 2023, she spoke exclusively We weekly that she had spent most of her time in an Airbnb while training for the show. “I am dealing with the situation with the ownership of the house. We own it equally,” she explained. “I want to see it. He doesn’t.”
The trailer was released that same month Vanderpump Rules Season 11 cut away and showed Madix seemingly refusing to let Sandoval buy her out of the house in the unlikely situation that he and Leviss, 29, were still together and wanted to live there together.
“What, are you going to bring your little pen pal over here? I don’t think so,” Madix said in a segment on the Bravo series filmed in the summer of 2023. “From what I can tell, Tom and Rachel are still very much together because they send mail and packages. back and forth to each other. She even sent a postcard with lightning bolts all over it. Get a new piece already.”
When season 11 premiered last month, tensions over the shared home continued to escalate. During Episode 2, the pair clashed when Sandoval requested to host a birthday party for himself at the house.

“If he wants to have a party, he can have it somewhere else,” she said. “If there are people here making noise, I’ll call the police.”
