    Vanderpump Legal Update: Houses, Lawsuits & Hot Messes
    Jun 11 2025
    Legal Team, the ladies are back together and catching up on several cases from the Vanderpump Rules and Valley universe. We break down the ongoing legal mess between Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and Rachel Leviss including house disputes, lawsuits, anti-SLAPP motions, and discovery drama. We also check in on Faith Stowers’ lawsuit against NBCUniversal and why it’s now heading to arbitration. And finally, we touch on a bizarre AI-generated lawsuit involving Jax Taylor, a good reminder not to believe everything you read online. What’s on the docket? The latest on Tom and Ariana’s house — yes, Tom’s still living there. How Tom accidentally sued Ariana, blamed his lawyer, and fired him… via Instagram. Details of Rachel’s lawsuit against Tom and Ariana, including claims that Ariana knew about the affair earlier than portrayed. Updates on Ariana’s anti-SLAPP motion. Tom’s discovery drama: missed deadlines and more fallout after firing his attorney. Faith’s lawsuit against NBCUniversal has been ordered to arbitration — and what that means. The truth behind Jax Taylor’s alleged lawsuit.

  • Rewind: Chrisley Didn’t Know Best

    Rewind: Chrisley Didn’t Know Best
    Jun 4 2025
    Legal Team, this week we’re replaying a timely episode following the news that President Trump has pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley, leading to their release from prison. At the top of the episode, we break down what a presidential pardon actually means—and what it doesn’t. Then we dive into the Chrisleys’ dramatic fall from grace. Todd and Julie, stars of Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted of fraudulently obtaining millions in loans using forged documents and evading taxes, but their legal troubles started long before reality TV. This jam-packed episode covers everything from early schemes dating back to 2009 to messy family drama, multiple state and federal investigations, scorned exes, and a laundry list of allegations: RICO, bankruptcy fraud, wire fraud, tax evasion, extortion, defamation, and more. More Chrisley content! https://open.spotify.com/episode/0kwCOWq3DWoacBVXcxG0hp?si=8acb4461139c41ae https://open.spotify.com/episode/7wruk5hWEy4JB0kxq7Yx9n?si=4b52524e0827487a Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
