High-profile lawyers allegedly leading the case “Reality Showdown” They are accused of trying to implicate reality giant Bravo, the primary target of the campaign, by duping a reality star.

Lawyers Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos, along with Bravo alum Bethenny Frankel, launched a vociferous campaign last year, promising to make NBC Universal, which owns Bravo, pay for its alleged “grotesque and depraved mistreatment” of its stars.

“The Reckoning” appears to have made little progress since then.

Now “Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Sandoval tells Page Six that Geragos and Freedman offered to drop a damning lawsuit against him if he was willing to “point the finger at NBC Universal” and help them build their case that the company was making up a story. They humiliated their client, Sandoval’s ex-girlfriend, Rachel Leviss.

In 2023, reality fans were blown away by “Scandoval,” which revealed the following: Sandoval had an affair with co-star Leviss Behind his fiancée Ariana Madix, who also starred in “Vanderpump Rules.” The ruse was revealed when Sandoval’s cellphone containing incriminating photos and videos fell out of his pocket and was given to Madix.

Leviss was injured Sandoval and Madix sued in revenge porn caseShe claimed that Sandoval secretly recorded her having FaceTime sex and that Madix sent her the footage to embarrass her. (Madix asked to be removed from the case, claiming he never sent the footage to anyone other than Leviss, and Sandoval denied secretly recording it).

Now Sandoval alleges that Freedman and Geragos approached their attorneys, Varand Gourjian and Tara Karamians of the Gourjian Law Group, in the summer of 2024 to offer a quid pro quo.

“My lawyer said to me: ‘They made you an offer – I know you won’t accept it – but I need to bring this to you: If you point the finger at NBC Universal, they’ll drop the case against you.’

She tells us the lawyers asked her if she was “willing” to say that NBC Universal agents had “challenged her” to reveal this affair to Madix.

A representative from Gourjian Law Group told us: “We cannot comment on settlement offers made to our client, but my impression is that Leviss planned from the beginning to make the studios the real target of the lawsuit they filed (against Sandoval and Madix). Tom Sandoval constantly He stated that the studios had nothing to do with the unfortunate events.”

When we asked about the allegations, Geragos and Freedman said, “Tom claims he lost his phone. Tom claimed he lost his lawyer. Tom actually lost his motion to dismiss (revenge porn case). He seems to have lost his mind now.”

(Sandoval didn’t actually “lose” his lawyer. He fired a lawyer he had hired to work on the revenge porn issue).

In his 2024 letter, he promised that “the day of reckoning has come” for NBCUniversal, which also owns the reality-heavy E! — Geragos and Freedman claimed there were a “significant number of people” ready to tell their stories.

But they haven’t made any requests yet, and as Page Six recently reported, They stopped representing “Real Housewives” star Brandi Glanville is in a lawsuit against Bravo.

Lawyers sent a separate letter to NBCUniversal, informing them that they were preparing to file a lawsuit against the company and Bravo frontman Andy Cohen over their treatment of Glanville on “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls.” Trip,” including a sexually explicit private message Cohen sent to Glanville in 2023. (Cohen denied wrongdoing, and a third-party investigation cleared him of wrongdoing).

Meanwhile, a separate lawsuit filed by former “Real Housewives of New York” star Leah McSweeney against Cohen and the network, among others, continues. He is represented by a different lawyer.

Another lawsuit filed by Caroline Manzo against NBCUniversal. where he claims It was also stated that she was sexually harassed by Glanville while the shooting of Bravo was ongoing. He also has a different lawyer. (Glanville denied wrongdoing).
