    Tom Sandoval claimed Raquel Leviss’ careless behavior led to her revenge porn lawsuit as he alleged she had “full knowledge of the consequences” of her actions during their months-long affair.

    Per documents obtained by People Thursday, Sandoval alleged the sexually explicit videos Leviss claimed her “Vanderpump Rules” co-star took of her “without her knowledge or consent” were a result of her “carelessness and negligence.”

    Sandoval’s legal team furthered Leviss’ allegations of being a “victim of the predatory and dishonest behavior of an older man” was a result of her “negligence, breach, and fault.”

    Tom Sandoval fires lawyer, claims he was misled into suing Ariana Madix: ‘I have no ill will’ against her

    While Leviss, 29, took responsibility for the role she played in Sandoval, 41, cheating on his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, she wasn’t prepared for the “mayhem” that came into her life, which led her to be admitted into a mental health facility, per the beauty queen’s complaint, which she filed in February.

    However, in his filing, Sandoval claimed Leviss failed “to mitigate whatever damages” she suffered and “voluntarily” opened herself to the damages alleged in her lawsuit.

    The musician’s team also requested that Leviss be prohibited from receiving damages from “the doctrine of unclean hands,” alleging she “did not act reasonably and in good faith.”

    Sandoval’s filing also notes that Leviss’ status as a public figure should relinquish “her right of privacy” because the public has “a legitimate interest” in their lives.

    Reps for Leviss weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

    In Leviss’ lawsuit, she alleged that Madix, 39, found out about her affair with Sandoval after she came across a video of the “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast host “in a state of undress and masturbating” on his phone.

    Leviss alleged she didn’t know Sandoval recorded the video of her without consent.

    According to the complaint, Leviss believes Sandoval has “additional illicit videos and/or photographs” of her.

    Amid the fallout of the affair, known as “Scandoval,” the former pageant queen referred to herself as the “most hated woman in America,” who was “humiliated and villainized for public consumption.”
