Ariana Madix‘s boyfriend, Daniel Wai, took to his Instagram Story on Friday to shut down rumors of the Vanderpump Rules star potentially going under the knife ahead of her hosting stint on Love Island USA.
As Ariana, 39, filed a new appeal against Rachel “Raquel” Leviss‘ revenge porn lawsuit against her and her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, 42, Daniel, 41, answered a few questions on his social media account, including inquiries about how to meet Ariana after her Broadway shows and her fit physique.
“If you want to meet [Ariana Madix] after the show she does the show door every single time and she takes pics signs and talks to everyone that comes to see her. She is super [grateful] for everyone,” he wrote.
Then, after sharing some restaurant recommendations, he noted that his girlfriend of over a year was working out hard and eating right during her time in Fiji.
“For Love Island,” he wrote, “[Ariana Madix] worked her a** off she was in gym [two] to [three] hours a [day] and diet on point. Sorry haters, no surgery or procedures. As for giving out the workouts I’d love to but this is my business and I work doing this.”
He then included a link to his business.
In other Pump Rules news, court documents obtained by In Touch Weekly on August 2 have confirmed that Ariana is appealing a July 11 ruling by a judge, who shot down her request for Raquel’s lawsuit against her to be dismissed.
As fans well know, Raquel sued Ariana and Sandoval earlier this year, accusing Sandoval of recording explicit FaceTime sessions without her consent and claiming Ariana allegedly distributed the clips to third parties, which Ariana denied.
“I did not send the videos to anyone else. Nor did I share, display, or show the videos to anyone else,” Ariana told the court. “To be clear, I only saw the video of [Raquel] … in places secluded from others.”
But after Ariana’s request, Raquel opposed the filing, saying that Ariana harmed her mental health.
“It is not just that [Ariana] had discovered the recordings and confronted me about their contents. If that were all that happened, [Ariana] would not have been named in this lawsuit. But that is not all that happened,” she explained in court documents.
“[Ariana’s] implication that my mental health struggles were brief in duration or minor could not be further from the truth. I was in a state of extreme distress as a result of the events described in the lawsuit, and I entered treatment in an extremely dark and scary place mentally. My symptoms included severe emotional distress, physical manifestations of such distress, anxiety, shock, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, humiliation, powerless, sleeplessness, nightmares, and loss of enjoyment of life,” she continued. “In her own sworn testimony, [Ariana] acknowledges that she stole and disseminated them. She distributed the recordings from their original source on Sandoval’s phone to herself and to me at a minimum.”
During the July 11 hearing in which a judge denied Ariana’s request for dismissal, an order stated that “[Ariana’s] conduct is not protected under the anti-SLAPP statute because the alleged conduct was illegal as a matter of law.”
“Here, [Raquel] has conclusively demonstrated [Ariana’s] conduct alleged in the three causes of action was illegal,” a judge noted. “[Ariana’s] declaration establishes that she accessed [Tom’s] phone without [Tom’s] knowledge and consent. Her declaration indicates that she had previously accessed [Tom’s] phone with his knowledge and consent, but makes no reference to her having [Tom’s] consent to do so on this occasion.”
Ariana has filed her request to overturn the judge’s decision in a higher court.
