Tom Sandoval has rebuffed Ariana Madix’s plea to sell their joint home amid legal disputes, asserting that she did not act “reasonably and in good faith.” The couple’s ongoing battle over their $2 million Los Angeles property has taken a contentious turn, with Sandoval responding to Madix’s lawsuit with counterclaims of his own.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Tom Sandoval countered Madix’s lawsuit by arguing that she failed to provide sufficient grounds to support her claims. He further contended that Madix did not take reasonable steps to mitigate any damages she may have incurred and failed to act in good faith throughout the process.

In response to Madix’s request for a “partition by sale” of the property, Sandoval demanded accounting and compensatory adjustments for any repairs or improvements he made to enhance the home’s value. The legal battle underscores the complexities of dividing assets in contentious breakups, particularly for high-profile couples like Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix.

The lawsuit was initiated by Ariana Madix on January 5th, seeking court intervention to force Sandoval to relinquish his stake in the property. Madix, who purchased the Valley Village home with Sandoval in 2019, aims to sell the property rather than engage in a co-ownership arrangement with her ex-partner.

The dispute over the home stems from the fallout of Sandoval’s alleged infidelity with their former “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Raquel Leviss. Despite their breakup in March 2023, Madix and Sandoval continue to cohabit while navigating the legal complexities of their shared assets.

In a recent episode of “Vanderpump Rules,” Sandoval disclosed financial strains arising from their living arrangement, accusing Madix of neglecting to contribute to household expenses for nearly eight months. He detailed the financial burden of covering mortgage payments, utilities, and other bills without adequate support from Madix.

Madix, however, refuted Sandoval’s claims, alleging that he offered to buy her out of her share of the property but failed to address her concerns about his infidelity. The ongoing legal battle and discordant living situation underscore the challenges of disentangling financial affairs and property ownership in the aftermath of a breakup.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the dispute between Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities of cohabitation and shared asset ownership following the dissolution of a relationship. The outcome of their legal battle will likely have lasting implications for both parties, highlighting the need for careful consideration and legal counsel in navigating such disputes.
