While Sandoval countersued Leviss in April and claimed her filing was a mere attempt to “extend her fame,” Leviss notably sought mental health treatment after “Scandoval” went viral.
Sandoval earned widespread public ire in the aftermath, as Sussman noted Wednesday.
“Even months after The New York Times branded Mr. Sandoval ‘the most hated man in America,’ he has clearly learned nothing and believes it necessary to continue torturing Ms. Madix in a vain effort to rehabilitate his image,” the attorney told EW.
Sussman added that Sandoval went “from begging” Madix for her forgiveness, as chronicled throughout Vanderpump’s latest season, “to blaming her for his wrongdoing,” The attorney predicted that a jury will surely “see through this latest ploy and dismiss his frivolous claims.”
Madix famously walked off the show last season but returned for its reunion in May, where she repeatedly dismissed Sandoval and his explanations for the affair. She’s since accomplished her dream of performing on Broadway — and now hosts Love Island USA.
